文法句型

testicular + [noun]

用法筆記

This term is almost always used as a modifier before a noun (testicular pain, testicular cancer, testicular trauma). In everyday conversation, people usually say "testicle" instead (e.g. 'He hurt his testicle' rather than 'He has a testicular injury').

常見錯誤

❌He felt a pain in his testicular.
✅He felt a pain in his testicle.
💡'testicular' is an adjective, not a noun; the noun form is 'testicle' or 'testes'.
