| Survival Phrases Lesson 50 - Expressing Symptoms |
| Once you are in the pharmacy, you will need to explain how you feel in order to let the pharmacist give you the right medicines. In today's lesson, we'll work on explaining symptoms so you can get the proper treatment and any medicine you may need. |
| Let's try to make a list of all the possible things you might need. |
| In Hebrew, "cold medicine" is תְּרוּפָה לְהִצְטַנְּנוּת, Trufa le-hits'ta'ne'nut. Let's break it down by syllable and hear it one more time, תְּרוּפָה לְהִצְטַנְּנוּת, Trufa le-hits'ta'ne'nut. |
| "A cold medicine please" in Hebrew is תְּרוּפָה לְהִצְטַנְּנוּת, בְּבַקָּשָׁה, Trufa le-hits'ta'ne'nut bevakasha. Let's break it down by syllable, תְּרוּפָה לְהִצְטַנְּנוּת, בְּבַקָּשָׁה, Trufa le-hits'ta'ne'nut bevakasha. |
| The first word תְּרוּפָה, Trufa means "medicine." Next, we have Le-hits'ta'ne'nut, which means "for cold." Please note that the preposition לְ, Le, which means "for" is attached to the word הִצְטַנְּנוּת, hits'ta'ne'nut, which means "cold." Let's hear it once again, הִצְטַנְּנוּת, hits'ta'ne'nut. Lastly, we have בְּבַקָּשָׁה, Bevakasha "please." All together, we have תְּרוּפָה לְהִצְטַנְּנוּת, בְּבַקָּשָׁה, Trufa le-hits'ta'ne'nut bevakasha, which literally means "A medicine for the cold please." |
| Let's see how to explain your symptoms. |
| In Hebrew, "I have a headache" is יֵשׁ לִי כְּאֵב רֹאשׁ, Yesh li ke'ev rosh. Let's break it down by syllable, יֵשׁ לִי כְּאֵב רֹאשׁ, Yesh li ke'ev rosh. Now, let's hear it once again, יֵשׁ לִי כְּאֵב רֹאשׁ, Yesh li ke'ev rosh. The first words יֵשׁ לִי, Yesh li mean "I have." Let's hear them one more time, יֵשׁ לִי, Yesh li. Next, we have כְּאֵב, Ke'ev, which literally means "pain." Last, we have the word רֹאשׁ, Rosh, which in English means "head." All together, we have יֵשׁ לִי כְּאֵב רֹאשׁ, Yesh li ke'ev rosh. Literally, this means "I have pain of head," and, in this case, we translate it as "I have a headache." |
| A different way to say you are in pain, for example in your stomach, is יֵשׁ לִי כְּאֵב בֶּטֶן, Yesh li ke'ev beten. Let's break it down by syllable, יֵשׁ לִי כְּאֵב בֶּטֶן, Yesh li ke'ev beten. Now, let's hear it one more time, יֵשׁ לִי כְּאֵב בֶּטֶן, Yesh li ke'ev beten. This is a very straightforward sentence. יֵשׁ לִי, Yesh li means, "I have," כְּאֵב, Ke'ev means, "pain," and, finally, בֶּטֶן, Beten means,"stomach." The only thing that changes is the word בֶּטֶן, Beten "stomach." Let's break down this word, בֶּטֶן, Beten. Now, let's use the entire sentence again, יֵשׁ לִי כְּאֵב בֶּטֶן, Yesh li ke'ev beten. |
| Ok, to close out today's lesson, we would like you to practice what you have just learned. I'll provide you with the English equivalent of the phrase and you're responsible for shouting it out loud. You'll have a few seconds before I give you the answer, so !בְּהַצְלָחָה, Behatzlacha! which means "Good luck!" in Hebrew. |
| "A cold medicine, please." - תְּרוּפָה לְהִצְטַנְּנוּת, בְּבַקָּשָׁה, Trufa le-hits'ta'ne'nut bevakasha. |
| "I have a headache." - יֵשׁ לִי כְּאֵב רֹאשׁ, Yesh li ke'ev rosh. |
| "I have a stomachache." - יֵשׁ לִי כְּאֵב בֶּטֶן, Yesh li ke'ev beten. |
