"He has a headache and he needs to rest."

Translation: 他的头很疼，需要休息。

[xialuote1]

Apart from the 很issue discussed here (I'm also pretty sure it doesn't need to be used here), the particle 的 can also be omitted when referring to body parts: 我头疼, 他肚子不舒服, 我腿麻了etc

[David508791]

Didn't use 很，really?

[INTJay]

use or not use, both fine

[Don2xu]

No need.

[NasuSamaruk0]

Also: 他有头痛，需要休息

[Nevin711542]

When I was in China, it seemed 他很头疼 and 他有头痛 were used in China instead of 他的头很疼 (He has a headache as opposed to his head is painful). I'm not saying the other one isn't used, I just never heard it and 他很头疼 and 他有头痛 did come a lot when students were explaining the absence of another. Maybe it's a regional thing - perhaps someone on this forum can tell us.

"他的头很疼，他需要休息" Marked wrong as of 2019-02-19. Reported.

Redundant 他 might not be necessary, but it shouldn't make it wrong.

[Handrisuselo]

很奇怪。

轻松 vs. 休息？

Although primarily an adjective 轻松 can also function as a verb

考完试，你应该轻松一下

轻松 means "relaxed, light or effortless" or "to relax"

休息 is "to rest" or "to get some rest"

What's wrong with ”他的头很疼，要休息一下“?

[MimiOng]

他頭很痛而且他需要休息 what's wrong with an answer like this? Can't "and" be translated into "而且"? @_@''

[MimiOng]

using "而且" for the conj. "and" is wrong and not allowed???

[whsndstalb]

shouldn't「他的頭疼，要休息一會兒」be accepted?

[TheCheebo]

How come we don't have an "and" in chinese for this

[WoyenSan]

because it is not a noun, 和 can only be used where there are two nouns you want to talk about

I tried: 他有头疼, 需要休息. (tā yǒu tóu téng, xū yào xiū xi.): NOT accepted by DL. 08 jan. 2020.
As far as I can remember, I learned that from my teacher, and it is written in my study books. I no longer have classroom lessons; I intended to consult my study books regularly, but I don't have enough time for that.

What is the difference between 需要 and 一定要? The latter was not accepted.

[e1VpVxkl]

一起 (yīqǐ) = together [Google gives another translation too: in the same place].

Im about to unistall this about because of these stupid unnecessary signs ruining about 20% of my sentences
