How to say to a 4-year-old kid when he’s peeing for a very long time? Is it “you have a long pee”?

I'd say something like "you're peeing for a long time" BUT I would just not comment on the how a child pees.

**Why would you say this?** If you are his parent or caretaker, at most you might say something like "wow!" "that's a lot!" or "when did you drink all the water?"... I guess.

You could say “you took a while” or you “you took a long time.” “you have a long pee” would not make sense or would sound like your referring to the body part. definitely don’t use that term.

Do not say anything! Why would you say anything?

You don’t need to tell a 4 year old child that he is peeing for a long time or comment on how long it takes him to pee at all. There is no need to comment on the amount of time it takes a child to empty their bladder. In a grammatical sense, the correct phrase would be “Wow, THAT was a long pee.”

“You have a long pee” sounds almost like you’re talking about the child’s genitals because “pee pee” is a childish word for “penis”, so definitely don’t say that. If anything, I’d probably say “You were in there for a while.” But honestly, I would probably not say anything at all. This is quite a strange comment to make, at least in most of American culture. The bathroom can be considered a rude/taboo subject and making comments about what other people are doing in the bathroom could be seen as invasive and uncomfortable and inappropriate, especially when directed towards a child. And unless this is your own child, you should absolutely ***never*** discuss what they are doing in the bathroom. Even if it is your child, I would probably not make comments like this anyway. It can be fine amongst close adults or family, but it should be navigated with care, especially when a child is involved. Because of the sensitive nature of this topic, I categorically do NOT recommend learners engage in it because it is very easy to say something that is not appropriate for the situation, such as your suggested sentence, which inadvertently sounds like you’re commenting on the length of the child’s penis, and that is *definitely* not a mistake you want to make. While learners tend to be afforded a lot of leeway, this is a completely different situation and making a mistake when navigating it could cause serious problems and misunderstanding that can’t be easily rectified. It’s best to avoid highly taboo subjects like the private business of children in the bathroom. Mistakes like this could even lead to you being arrested or physically attacked because people may rightfully be concerned that you are a creep and have nefarious motives.

You wouldn't say anything. Why would you say something? It's not normal to comment on how long someone pees for.

If you say it that way, it could be misunderstood as you referring to his genitalia. “Pee-pee” is a childish euphemism for a penis, and it’s preceded by an article or a possessive pronoun. If you’re talking about urination, you can say that someone “*took* a long pee.” If you’re talking to a child (*your* child) you can just say “wow, you really had to go!” or “that took a while.”

Was it a little pee or a lot? When gauging water intake for kids

Buddy, we need more context. Otherwise this just seems like you’re a creep (or worse).

you don’t? let the kid pee without live commentary.

"You are having a long pee" or if finishes "you had a long pee". I wouldn't use have.

If you want to be funny you can ask if they fell in

This is very specific and weird
