1.
nosebleed
Bleeding from the nose. A common minor condition, especially in children.
Usage
The most common pattern is 鼻血が出る (to get a nosebleed, literally "a nosebleed comes out"). The transitive form 鼻血を出す (to produce a nosebleed) is used when describing someone else's nosebleed or an action causing one.
Common collocations
- 鼻血が出る (to have a nosebleed)
- 鼻血を出す (to get/cause a nosebleed)
- 鼻血が止まらない (the nosebleed won't stop)
- 鼻血を拭く (to wipe a nosebleed)
Pronunciation
The reading is はなぢ (with ぢ), not はなじ. This is because the second element is 血 (blood), which becomes voiced (ぢ) in compound words through rendaku.
