INTRODUCTION
When you’re in a pharmacy in Pakistan, you’ll need to explain how you feel in order for the pharmacist to give you the right medicines. In this 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.

Now, let's see how to explain your symptoms.
In Urdu, "I have a headache" is Mjhy sar dard hai. Let's break it down by syllable.
(slow) Mjhy sar dard hai
Mjhy sar dard hai
The first word is mjhy, which means "I ". Next, we have sar dard, which means "a headache." Lastly we have hai which means “have”. So altogether we have Mjhy sar dard hai, which in English means "I have a headache."
(slow) Mjhy sar dard hai.

A different way to say you have pain in, for example, your stomach, is Mere pait mei dard hai, “I have a stomachache,” or literally “I have a stomach pain.”
(slow) Mere pait mei dard hai
Mere pait mei dard hai
pait mei dard is the phrase meaning “stomach pain,” or in English, “stomachache.”
