How to Say ‘Where do you feel unwell?’ in Simplified Chinese
哪儿不舒服？
nǎ ér bù shū fú
[nǎr bù shūfu]
💬 Usage Tip: 舒服 is the whole description on its own, so no 是 is needed, and 不舒服 means "unwell". Swap in 哪儿 "where" to make other questions with the same frame, e.g. 哪儿疼？ "where does it hurt?"
🇨🇳 In China: This is the standard opening line from a Chinese doctor. Expect it within seconds of sitting down, and have your main complaint ready, since appointments are often very short.
