Translation guide
The English word 'hemorrhage' refers to heavy or uncontrolled bleeding, often in a medical context. In Japanese, the most common equivalent is 出血 (しゅっけつ), which covers both the medical term and general bleeding. For more severe or massive bleeding, 大出血 (だいしゅっけつ) is used. In figurative use, such as 'hemorrhaging money,' Japanese often uses expressions like 大損する or 資金が流出する.

Means 'to suffer a big loss' or 'to lose a lot of money.' Commonly used when a company or person is hemorrhaging money.
