What should I say if Iam hit by some object? Should I say "I am hit"?

What should I say if Iam hit by some object? Should I say "I am hit"?

What if my body part gets hit against an object like during walking if my foot toe gets hit against the sofa then what do I need to say "I was hit. My finger got hit. It hit against the couch and I am feeling pain in it since then"?

Ow! I've just stubbed my [STRIKE]foot[/STRIKE] toe on the sofa.

You may say something stronger than Ow.

You could also stub your foot, but not your 'foot toes'. There are no such things in English.

I stubbed my hand on a wall.

I stubbed my head on a wall by mistake.

I stubbed my finger on couch.

So this formation "I hit my hand/toe/head against something" is incorrect, right? We can't say "I am hit", right?

If I have to describe it to a doctor then I can use the same, right?

Don't ask me why but we use "stub" only with "toe". We don't stub any other part of our body!

You can use "against" or "on" with "I hit my + body part". With the exception of that one, we don't all use the same words to express what's happened. There are multiple options.

I walked into a door!
I smacked my hand on the wall as I turned the corner.
I bumped my head against the window accidentally.

Don't say "I am hit".

Okay.

I stubbed my toe on couch/sofa/ wall.

I walked into a wall/car/water tank/TV.

I smacked smacked my leg on the wall.

I hit my head/hand/leg against the car/wall/motorcycle.

Are these correct?

Sometimes "I am hit" is used in military combat situations. In this clip from "Top Gun" (1986), Maverick and Goose mean that their plane has been successfully fired upon.

You can say you banged into something.

I've been hit on the head by a cricket ball.

When you hit against something by accident, you can't say I am hit or I get hit, which mean something hits you.
People only talk about body part(s) in an accident.
