ReplyDelete食べ過ぎで胃が痛いというのはなんと言うのでしょうか？
Good question! There are many ways to say this, here are some useful expressions:
ReplyDeleteI have eaten too much.
I have over-eaten.
I ate too much.
I over-ate.
My stomach hurts from over-eating.
I have a tummy ache from eating too much.
I am stuffed!
I am so stuffed my tummy hurts!
I hope these help you! Of course the best answer is 'Please do not eat too much!' But at this time of year it's difficult advice to follow!
