tears

[Ju]

How do we describe one is easily tearing as the tear gland naturally caused him easily tearing compared to others. It's not an illness.

Thank you

Ju.
The most obvious common term that specifically refers to crying is "a crybaby". There are many others that mean someone who may cry easily because of what other people might perceive as weakness: wimp, sook, sissy, sniveller, etc. These are often used to unpleasantly criticize somebody who might just be, by their nature, sensitive, sentimental or easily upset.

For an expression that is not pejorative you can say someone is prone to weeping or prone to tears.

You might say that their eyes frequently well up.

Emotional people tear up easily.

Is that why they are so often "all torn up?" :-D

In AmE, someone who is very easily moved to tears might say it just like that. Or they might apologize when the tears start to flow while watching a movie and say "I'm sorry, sometimes I'm very emotional." Other people might say "The slightest thing can make me cry." It depends upon the situation.

Thank you.

Sorry, what I mean is one who's not easily crys due to emotion, but the tears flow strongly even just making a single yawn.

Thank you.

Hi Ju:

"all torn up": I was making a pun on tear as in teardrop and tear as in rip up.

When eyes well up they fill with tears.

For information on people who have very copious tears unrelated to emotion you should probably consult physicians rather than us. There is no ordinary English word for that phenomenon.

The words "lacrimate", "lacrimation" mean cry and crying respectively, but, probably because they are unusual, they sound as if the crying has an unusual cause. (At least to me, others may have a different opinion.)

It takes a Pole to teach me new English words!. ;-)

Hi
I think the term you are looking for is watery eyes. Sometimes you hear runny eyes but it is more related to allergies and fevers.

It's not commonly used unless you are describing the condition, and yes no emotion is involved.

Do an online search of the term and you'll get more examples of how it's used.

@SanMar: I think the term you are looking for is watery eyes.

Yes, as in: "My eyes start watering whenever I yawn", or "Just thinking about chopping that onion makes my eyes water".
