Can I say "I have a flu for 2 days . I feel very tired and bored ..."

QuangtrungvtvI have a flu for 2 days . I feel very tired and bored . I hate stay in bed all day.

You can't count flu, can you?

I am having flu for the past two days. I feel very tired and bored. I hate to stay in bed all day.

But, I see in my book :" I have a flu" !

I would simply say I have the flu.

You can have a cold, but you can't have a flu.

I have had the flu for 2 days . I feel very tired and bored . I hate staying in bed all day.

Hi Nona,

Do you use "the" before flu or is this BrE?

American here: I too would say "the flu."

I know that technically, there are many types of the flu virus, but still we say "the flu."

Thanks a lot, GG.

LOL, GG,I have to say this -- Have you been acquainted with all of the types of the flu virus?

You'll need to ask more than just GG that question, WA. Saying "the flu" is apparently standard on both sides of the pond.

Thankfully, I have had very limited first-hand experience with any strain of the influenza virus at all.
