āFeeling under the weatherā and āfeeling a little sickā are both idiomatic expressions in English that refer to not feeling well, but they donāt specifically mean āfeeling nauseous.ā
āFeeling under the weatherā: This phrase generally means feeling unwell or out of sorts, without specifying the exact nature of the illness. It can encompass a range of mild physical or mental discomforts, such as fatigue, a headache, or a mild cold. It doesnāt necessarily mean nausea unless the context specifically implies it.
āFeeling a little sickā: This expression also means not feeling well but tends to imply a mild or general illness. Again, it could include nausea, but it doesnāt exclusively refer to it unless clarified in the context.
In both cases, āfeeling nauseousā could be part of the symptoms if mentioned or implied, but on their own, these phrases are more general and can refer to a variety of minor health issues.
Yes, in this context, āThatās okayā means āNo, thank youā or politely declining an offer. B is saying they donāt need any Pepto Bismol but is expressing it in a polite and casual way.
Yes, āfeeling under the weatherā is an informal expression to say youāre not feeling well
But I would say: 'Iām still feeling a little ill/ weak."
However, Rzf, if you keep posting dialogues ad nauseam, one might start feeling nauseous.
If you worried, donāt bother. Iām still right as right as rain.
