"シャワーをあびます。"

Translation: I will take a shower.

[darthoctopus]

シャワーを浴びます

[Brettah31]

I have a shower should be accepted. Its Australian dialect English.

[Stusstrupp]

"have a shower" is also British English.

[shiiriim]

I think the problem with that is they can't tell if you mean 'I own a shower' instead

[V2Blast]

Report it.

[hollt693]

The verb あびる/浴びる is interesting in that it sort of means to have stuff come down on you, like water, sunlight, criticism, etc.

I wonder if it would apply to being caught in an avalanche.

[Airdra]

I would say have a shower and not take a shower. "have" should be accepted.

[V2Blast]

Report it (assuming it's correct in your dialect).

[BelindaSin]

Take a shower is what it says, "I" can be implied but context is required.

[V2Blast]

True, but a subject is required in the English sentence. It could be "I", "you", "he", "she", "we", or "they".

[JeffWhite373278]

You'd think they could give you a little pop up in the previous screen saying just for the record I is the context or something like that. Or something... Not a mind reader.

[CoralWarde]

i am taking a shower = incorrect?

[V2Blast]

Yes. "taking a shower" (progressive/continuous tense) would require the Japanese verb to use the ～ている/～ています form: シャワーを浴びています

[NicolePower]

Why not "I take showers"

[SanDigital]

The hover hint says "bathe", but "I bathe" isn't accepted...?? Only "I take a shower"?

[Spencer595917]

What do I do when I need a shower? "I take a shower". :)

[SaurabhLambe]

"I take a shower" should've been allowed
