Here’s the difference between relieve oneself, poop, and defecate:

1. Relieve oneself – A polite or euphemistic way to say someone is going to the bathroom (can refer to both urination and defecation).

Example: "Excuse me, I need to relieve myself."

뜻: "실례합니다, 화장실에 가야 해요."



2. Poop – An informal and casual way to refer to defecation, often used with children or in everyday conversation.

Example: "The baby just pooped in his diaper."

뜻: "아기가 기저귀에 응가했어요."



3. Defecate – A formal or medical term for expelling feces from the body.

Example: "The doctor asked if the patient was able to defecate regularly."

뜻: "의사는 환자가 규칙적으로 배변을 하는지 물어봤다."




In summary, relieve oneself is polite/euphemistic, poop is casual, and defecate is formal/medical.
