I have to pee?
Hello ! I just learned about "pee" In a movie that I learned for English, I saw that expression " I have to pee" or " I gotta pee" but, my teacher said " I have to pee" is for children. She said, adults hardly use that expression. Is it right? I wondered because when I saw those sentence, some women spoke that. but I think when they said about those things , the one who listen to a person who said those things is mostly closed friend or their subordinate.
Sorry for my terrible writing, and I will really appreciate it if you answer it !

Answer

It is usually used by children. An adult would usually say "I have to go to the bathroom" or something similar.

It sounds a bit funny to hear an adult say "I have to pee", but adults do use it sometimes for that very reason, especially among friends.

Answer

Also, to add to my previous post, it is not usually used in professional settings. Mostly just among friends.
