How to Say ‘I've had diarrhea twice, but no fever.’ in Simplified Chinese
拉了两次，不发烧。
lā le liǎng cì bù fā shāo
[lā luh lyahng tsuh bù fāshāo]
💬 Usage Tip: Chinese often puts two facts side by side with just a comma, with no word for "but" or "and". That makes this a handy way to list symptoms: 头疼，不发烧 "headache, no fever".
