Who got a shot?/注射をうつ
Covid-19 vaccine are now available by appointment in my area.
How about you?
We often use this phrase "注射(ちゅうしゃ)をうつ" .
It literally means "you give someone an injection", but almost everyone uses it in a way that means "you get a shot".
I'll give you an example.
If you are a patient(=you got a shot), all of these phrases are correct.
(All of these have been written in the past tense.)
(1)昨日、注射をうちました。/うった。
(2)昨日、注射をうってもらいました。/もらった。
(3)昨日、注射をしました。/した。
(4)昨日、注射をしてもらった。/してきた。
(5)昨日、注射をうちに行ってきました。/うちに行ってきた。
(6)昨日、注射に行って来た。
Sometimes, I write about the Japanese language and I think...the Japanese language has a lot of expressions, right?
When all I want to do is teach you ione phrase, but there are always so many expressions!
I can't possibly explain all of them to you.
