会社を休むって英語でなんて言うの？

▪I am not coming toward today because I have a cold. This sentence can be used when you tell your colleague or friend. ▪I would like to take the day off today, I am not feeling well. This sentence can be used when you ask your boss/supervisor for the day off.

Well, you could say you just have a cold. But that seems not very serious! "I've got a cold and I'm taking a day off today!" For your employer to understand that you are really unwell, it is customary to 'beef up' your explanation so that it would appear you are really ill and unable to go to work: "Sorry, I've gone down with the flu and am far too ill to work today." To beef (something) up = give more substance or strength to something, toughen up, strengthen, build up, reinforce, substantiate, "Cost-cutting measures are planned to beef up performance." To go down with something = to start to suffer from an infectious disease: "Half of Martha's class has gone down with flu."

Sick day/sick leave - a day off of work because you are sick, usually a paid day off Call in sick - Call your job and tell them you're sick and won't make it to work today = take a day off Call out - Call your job and tell them that you can't go to work today = take a day off Example sentences: I need to take a sick day. I'm not feeling so good today. I'm going to have to call in sick today, I have a cold. I need to take a day off of work because I have a cold. I need to take a sick leave. I have to call out of work today because I have a cold.

"Im not going to make it in today" means that you wont be coming to work for the day. "This cold has me feeling bad" shows that you are not feeling well and that's the reason you will not be at work. "I have started to feel a bit of a cold coming" shows that you are feeling the early stages of a cold and you are expressing that you don't feel good. "Calling off" is an expression when you have not scheduled for a day off from work but for whatever the current situation may be you are alerting you boss you are not coming to work.

In most countries, if an employee is sick and is unable to come to work, he/she is given sick leave legally. This is paid leave. Due to the dishonesty of some employees, most companies require a doctor's note confirming the sickness and booking the employee off for a day or two. Doctors do this in order to let the employee recover in a stress free environment and also to prevent the sick employee from infecting other employees, especially where diseases like colds and flu are concerned. So, you may say: I will take sick leave today because I have a severe cold. or I will take day off today because I am down with a cold.

We all hate to get sick and wehn we are working with others it is bad form to take sickness to work and spread it around!..We should try to limit our exposure to others when we have colds and flu! We may need to take" a sick day " off work. "I will have to take a sick day off work... due to me coming down with a cold!"
