Lesson focus |
|---|
| Once you are in the pharmacy, you will need to explain how you feel in order for the pharmacist to give you the right medicines. In today's lesson, we will 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 Dutch, "cold medicine" is Medicijn tegen verkoudheid. |
| Let's break it down by syllable and hear it one more time: Me-di-cijn tegen ver-koud-heid. Medicijn tegen verkoudheid. |
| Medicijn means, "medicine." |
| Medicijn. |
| This is followed by tegen verkoudheid, meaning, "for a cold." |
| Tegen verkoudheid. |
| "A cold medicine, please" in Dutch is: Een medicijn tegen verkoudheid alstublieft. |
| Let's break it down by syllable: Een me-di-cijn te-gen ver-koud-heid al-stu-blieft. |
| Een medicijn tegen verkoudheid alstublieft. |
| We start the phrase with een medicijn, meaning "a medicine." |
| Next, we have tegen verkoudheid, meaning "for a cold." |
| Tegen verkoudheid. |
| Finally, we have alstublieft ("please"). Alstublieft. |
| So All together, we have: Een medicijn tegen verkoudheid alstublieft. |
| This literally means, "A medicine against a cold, please." |
| Let's see how to explain your symptoms. |
| In Dutch, "I have a headache" is Ik heb hoofdpijn. |
| Let's break it down by syllable: Ik heb hoofd-pijn. |
| Ik heb hoofdpijn. |
| The first words, Ik heb, mean, "I have." |
| Ik heb. |
| Next, we have hoofdpijn, which means, "headache." |
| So all together, we have: Ik heb hoofdpijn. |
| Literally, it means, "I have a head pain," which we will of course translate as "I have a headache." |
| A different way to say you are in pain, for example in your stomach, is Ik heb buikpijn. |
| Let's break it down by syllable: Ik heb buik-pijn. |
| Ik heb buikpijn. |
| The first words, Ik heb, is "I have." |
| Ik heb. |
| Next, we have buikpijn, which means, "stomachache." |
| So all together, we have: Ik heb buikpijn. |
| Literally, it means, "I have stomach pain," which we will of course translate as, "I have a stomachache." |
Outro |
| Okay, to close out this lesson, we'd like you to practice what you've just learned. I'll provide you with the English equivalent of the phrase and you're responsible for saying it aloud. You have a few seconds before I give you the answer, so good luck, that also means “good luck” in Dutch. |
