How it's used
This term is used to describe the specific, urgent physical sensation of needing to urinate immediately. It functions as an adjective describing one's current state rather than a medical diagnosis. It is perfectly acceptable to use in casual conversation with friends or family when you need to excuse yourself.
Examples
I have a strong urge to pee right now, I want to go to the toilet.
Do you need to pee? Go quickly then.

Common mistake
Avoid using this in formal or professional settings, as it is quite blunt and direct. Use 唔好意思，我想去洗手間 instead if you need to be polite.
