reaction to eating cucumbers

[JACEK1]

Hello again,

Suppose that I have eaten quite a portion of cucumber sallad. Now cucumber-related gases are being created inside my mouth.

I know that the right way to say that is "cucumers are repeating on me".

May I also say "I am burping/belching cucumbers"?

What is your opinion?

Hello again.

Suppose that I have eaten quite a large portion of cucumber [STRIKE]sallad[/STRIKE] salad.

Now cucumber-related gases are being created inside my mouth.
The whole sentence is incorrect, grammatically and medically. Try again.

I know that the right way to say that is "That cucumber's [STRIKE]are[/STRIKE] repeating on me".

[STRIKE]May[/STRIKE] Can I also say "I am burping/belching cucumbers"?

What is your opinion?

No.

Note my corrections (in red) and comments (in blue) above.

Now products of fermentation are being released out of my mouth in the form of a burp/belch.

 

[JACEK1]

It is no use trying. I am not a native speaker of English.

I know that the right way to say that is "The cucumber's repeating on me".

What is your opinion?

My opinion is that you should stop wasting your time in trying to find weird new ways of saying what you know to be correct.

What I ask you to do is tell me how various thoughts are expressed in our languages. It is not about wasting your time on purpose. Since I have no intention or possibility of visiting your country, I would like to know from you how to use English best.

May I also say "I am burping/belching cucumbers"?

That works for me.

I think, in that case, it would be better for you to give us what you know is a correct way of saying something and ask us if we would word it differently. We'll give you any alternatives we can think of. It's easier than you coming up with guesses as to what we might say.

There are limited situations in which you'll need to say "That cucumber's repeating on me" so you only need one phrase for it.

 

[JACEK1]

Could you reveal that one phrase to me?

 

[emsr2d2]

You already have it! There is nothing wrong with "That cucumber's repeating on me".

The cucumbers are coming back up. (Context will clarify you don't mean vomiting.)
The cukes are coming back.
I'm tasting those cucumbers again.
I'm still tasting those cucumbers.


The line about 'repeating on me' isn't used in AmE, as far as I know. You will hear the line about 'burping cucumbers' in AmE.

I wouldn't have had a clue what it meant before seeing it here.
