Urinate is the formal verb for passing urine out of your body. It is what a doctor asks you ("Does it hurt when you urinate?"), what a form or a sign says, and what a lawyer says in court ("urinating in public").

Urinate Urinate is the formal verb是正式動詞 for passing urine out of your body指排出體內尿液。It is what a doctor asks you這是醫生會問你的話 ("Does it hurt when you urinate?")（「Does it hurt when you urinate?小便會痛嗎」）， what a form or a sign says也是表格或告示上會寫的字， and what a lawyer says in court也是律師在法庭上會用的說法 ("urinating in public")（「urinating in public公然便溺」）。

In everyday talk, almost nobody uses it — English speakers say **pee** (safe and normal for all ages), **go to the toilet / go to the bathroom** (the politest way to avoid the topic), **wee** or **wee-wee** (children), or **take a leak / piss** (rough and rude; piss especially can offend). So urinate sits at the very formal end of a long ladder, and using it with friends sounds strangely stiff, almost funny — a bit like saying "I must urinate" at dinner.

In everyday talk, almost nobody uses it在日常說話裡幾乎沒有人用這個字 — English speakers say英文母語者會說 pee (safe and normal for all ages)pee（safe and normal for all ages，各年齡都安全常用）， go to the toilet / go to the bathroom (the politest way to avoid the topic)go to the toilet／go to the bathroom（the politest way to avoid the topic，最委婉、能避開話題的說法）， wee or wee-wee (children)wee／wee-wee（children，小孩用語）， or take a leak / piss (rough and rude; piss especially can offend)或take a leak／piss（rough and rude；piss尤其可能冒犯人）。So urinate sits at the very formal end of a long ladder所以urinate是這一長串說法裡最正式的一端， and using it with friends跟朋友講的話用這個字 sounds strangely stiff, almost funny會顯得很生硬、甚至有點好笑 — a bit like saying "I must urinate" at dinner有點像在晚餐時說「I must urinate」一樣。
