Not really. You might say 'I'm going into hospital', meaning 'I'm being taken into medical care' but to visit implies a journey to a specific place, so you would use the definite article (if it's known) or the indefinite if you haven't yet decided.

I bet this came from a russian, right? They dont have articles as far as i know

Chinese doesn't have articles like "the" either. The only one they really have is 一个 (a). But Chinese learning English tend to overuse articles in English

Honestly, Icelandic is basically Old English from a thousand years ago.

>>72100682
No, it's a correct form in British English to omit the article from hospital when using it in the sense of it being a phenomena. Although the OP has misused it.

Apart from the fact that it's Old Norse. Old English is basically Old English.

Fun Fact: every air traffic controller around the world is required to speak English when contacting any aircraft.

English is the language of business and commerce world-wide. That's why it is taught in schools everywhere.

It is not up to us to learn your shitty language, and you know it.

It's quite strange how every single time I see someone mix up you're and your on this board, it's always an American flag.

Why can't Americans even write their own language properly?

I'd say, "I'm on the sudden urge of attending the hospital, due the fact that I legitimate feel sick and/or require to do a task that involves visiting this specific place".

Fun Fact 2: I travel to Iceland and everyone speaks English. When I speak a few Icelandic phrases, the locals act like I am a visiting God doing them the greatest favor of their lives.

As a courtesy to our ignorant friends, I will offer you a few common phrases in English:

Thank you for rescuing me from the Muslim hordes.

May I help to build the wall?

Please sir, may I fondle your buttocks?

Would you do me the favor of impregnating my daughter?
