Hi, I'm currently working on a translation in to French which includes this word, and found this post useful. However, don't you think nauseated would be a verb in the passive voice rather than a adjective? Couldn't that explain the difference between nauseated (passive verb) and nauseous (adj)..?

Please let me know what you think as my observation is based on my knowledge of French grammar as opposed to knowledge of English grammar.

kind regards
