The Vietnamese word "ỉa" is a verb that means "to go stool" or "to defecate." It refers to the act of passing feces. This word is commonly used in casual or informal contexts.

Usage Instructions:

• "ỉa" is typically used in informal conversations, especially among friends or family. In more formal contexts, people might use the phrase "đi đại tiện," which is a more respectful way to refer to the same action.

• Basic Example: "Tôi cần ỉa." (I need to go to the bathroom.)
• With Condition: "Tôi bị ỉa chảy." (I have diarrhea.)

In more complex sentences, you can combine "ỉa" with other words to describe situations: - "Sau khi ăn đồ lạ, tôi bị ỉa chảy cả ngày." (After eating strange food, I had diarrhea all day.) - "Trẻ con thường hay ỉa ra quần." (Children often soil their pants.)

Word Variants:

• ỉa đái: This phrase combines "ỉa" with "đái," which means "to urinate," indicating both actions together.

Different Meanings:

While "ỉa" primarily refers to defecation, in some contexts, it can be used more colloquially to express frustration or disgust, similar to how some English speakers might say "this is crap" when referring to something negative.

Synonyms:

• đi đại tiện: A more formal way to say "to defecate."
• đi vệ sinh: This means "to go to the toilet" and is a polite way to refer to the act.
