"I still have not taken a shower."

Translation: 我还没有洗澡。

When americans 'take a shower' where do they put it??? we Brits say 'have a shower' lol

[Celticfiddleguy]

Good one barlow93. How many showers do you have? I HAVE one in the master bath and one in the guest bathroom!! XD

[RebeccaJ376064]

Haha, I've never thought of that!
But we always have a shower in our bathrooms, it's not like it materializes when we're ready to use it!

[PeaceJoyPancakes]

If you don't take it, how can you have it? (Both expressions work in North America.)

Have some potatoes with your shower. ;-)

If you start using literalism to take apart phrases in American English, I assure you that British English will fall apart too!

Is 我还没洗澡了 correct?

[PeaceJoyPancakes]

No. It's okay to leave out "有", but "了" signifies a completed action, so you can't tack it on to something you haven't yet done. You could use "呢" instead (I believe, subject to correction by a native speaker), but you don't have to.

[Celticfiddleguy]

Yes, I think it's more colloquial with out 有, but I've often heard this structure from native speakers.

[KX3.]

Both (还没有 and 还没) are colloquial.

[PeaceJoyPancakes]

But I'll just reiterate that "了" is incorrect.

[KX3.]

Yes, I meant with or without the 有.

[PeaceJoyPancakes]

Is it possible to replace "洗澡" with "淋雨"?

[KX3.]

No, 淋雨 is when you were out under the rain.

[PeaceJoyPancakes]

Thanks. Not sure where I got that.

How do you distinguish "take a shower" from "have a bath"?

[KX3.]

This is very colloquial and I'm not sure how many people actually say this, but you can use 淋个水 or 冲凉 or 洗澡, usually the last is a long bath, the first is a quick shower and 冲凉 can be for either.
If you want to take a hot/cold bath it's 泡热/冷水澡.

Thanks again.
