Hi Steven, my daughter is three years old and will go to the daycare. But she speaks Mandarin at home. I want to teach her some simple spoken English, such as"尿尿"，“大便”and something like that. But I have no idea what the local young kids say for those stuffs. Could you give me some advice? Thanks!

尿尿is Pee, 大便is Poo. For the kids, usually, they use "Pee Pee" or "Poo Poo"

Thank you! Anything else a kid has to know before he goes to the daycare in order to communicate with his teachers and peers?

extend the topic a little bit, how to say 尿 and 大便 in

daily life? I know 尿 is urine and 大便 is stool, but I 've

never heard people actually say it. They use some slang for

that, does anybody know? thanks

Pee (most polite)
have a leak
do number one
go wee wee
tinkle
piss (not polite)


Poo (most polite)
have a dump
have a crap
sit on the john
do number two
s**t

All of these are acceptable amongst friends in the unlikely event that you need to announce your intentions when you ask to use the bathroom or the toilet.

call from bathroom?

I heard it from"the 70's",but dont' know if it means"pee"or

"poo".

I have never heard "call from the bathroom". call of nature can be either pee or poo.

I do not want to spoil the fun in this thread, however, I would just advise members of this forum that it is not advisable to use too much slang unless you are really fluent. Stick with "could I use your bathroom" rather than coming out with " I need to use the crapper" or " I need to take a leak" in an inappropriate setting.

Don't worry, they will learn by themselves naturally.
