nosebleed
Bleeding from the nose. A common minor condition, especially in children.
鼻血が出た。
I got a nosebleed.
子どもが鼻血を出したので、ティッシュを渡した。
The child got a nosebleed, so I gave them a tissue.
乾燥した季節は鼻血が出やすいので、加湿器を使うとよい。
Nosebleeds happen more easily in the dry season, so it's good to use a humidifier.
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)
SPELLING NOTE:
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.
