टट्टी करना (tattii karnaa)

verb A common, slightly childish/informal compound meaning 'to defecate, to poop'; टट्टी (tattii) is the noun for stool/feces and करना (karnaa) 'to do' completes the everyday euphemism.
Sense 1 : to defecate, to poop
verb, intransitive
Synonyms: पॉटी करना (potii karnaa, used with small children), मलत्याग करना (malatyaag karnaa, formal/clinical), शौच करना (shauch karnaa, formal/polite), हगना (hagnaa, crude/vulgar)
Frequency: medium
Cultural Note: This is the phrase every Indian household actually uses -- with kids, with the doctor, with the domestic help discussing the toilet -- sitting comfortably between the clinical शौच (shauch) and the crude हगना (hagnaa). Parents also just say टट्टी (tattii) alone as a noun ('टट्टी लगी है', tattii lagii hai, 'I need to poop') without the करना (karnaa) at all.
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners sometimes reach for the clinical मलत्याग करना (malatyaag karnaa) in casual family contexts where टट्टी करना (tattii karnaa) is what people actually say -- it is the normal register for home and children's talk, not a 'baby word' to be outgrown into something else. 2) Do not confuse this with हगना (hagnaa), which means the same thing but is crude and can sound rude or funny in polite company; टट्टी करना (tattii karnaa) is the safe, everyday choice.
