Lesson Transcript

INTRODUCTION
Once you’re in the pharmacy, you will need to explain how you feel so that the pharmacist can give you the right medications. In today's lesson, we'll work on explaining symptoms so you can get the proper treatment and any medication you may need.
BODY
Let's try to make a list of all the possible things you might need.
In Urdu, "cold medicine" is sardi ki dava. (SLOW) sardi ki dava. Let's break it down by syllable and hear it one more time: Sar-di ki da-va, sardi ki dava.
"A cold medicine please," in Urdu, is Barah e meharbani aik sardi ki dava, (SLOW) Barah e meharbani aik sardi ki dava. Let's break it down by syllable: Ba-rah e me-har-bani aik sar-di ki da-va, (SLOW) Barah e meharbani aik sardi ki dava
The first barah e meharbani means “please,” and the next word aik means "one." Then you have sardi, which means, "cold." Sar-di, sar-di Next, we have ki, the preposition "for." Let's hear it once again: ki. Finally, we have dava ("medicine"). Let's break it down by syllable and hear it one more time: (SLOW) Da-va, dava. All together, we have Barah e meharbani aik sardi ki dava, which literally means "A medicine for the cold please."
Let's see how to explain your symptoms.
In Urdu, "I have a headache" is sar dard hai, (SLOW) sar dard hai. Let's break it down by syllables: Si-r da-rd hai. Now let's hear it once again: sar dard hai. The first word sar means, "head." Let's hear it one more time: sar. Next, we have dard, which literally means "aching." "A headache" is sar dard, and hai means "is." All together, we have sar dard hai. 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’re feeling pain, for example in your stomach, is Pait dard hai. (SLOW) Pait dard hai. Let's break it down by syllable and hear it one more time: Pai-t da-rd hai Pait dard hai. This is a very straightforward sentence. It's almost exactly the same as the previous phrase. The only change is pait in place of sar. Pait means, "stomach."
