Explanation

As a verb, ฉี่ means “to pee”; as a noun, it means “pee.” It is not limited to children—adults commonly use expressions such as ไปฉี่ (“go pee”) and ปวดฉี่ (“need to pee”) with family and friends. It is informal rather than medically neutral. Separately, ฉี่ can represent a sharp sizzling or hissing sound.

Usage

It is common in relaxed situations such as talking with family or friends, helping children use the bathroom, or discussing pets. The sound-imitating use appears when describing food sizzling or liquid hitting a hot surface.

Caution

In medical or official contexts, the neutral term ปัสสาวะ is more appropriate. Also, ปวดฉี่ normally means “need to pee,” not “it hurts when I urinate.” Painful urination can be expressed as เจ็บเวลาปัสสาวะ.
