| 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 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. |
| In Hungarian, "cold medicine" is megfázás elleni gyógyszer. |
| Let's break it down by syllable and hear it one more time: meg-fá-zás el-le-ni gyógy-szer, |
| megfázás elleni gyógyszer. |
| "Cold medicine please" in Hungarian is Megfázás elleni gyógyszert kérek. |
| Let's break it down by syllable: Meg-fá-zás el-le-ni gyógy-szert ké-rek. |
| Megfázás elleni gyógyszert kérek. |
| The first word megfázás means, "cold" (sickness). |
| Then you have elleni, which literally means, "against." |
| elleni, el-leni. |
| Next, we have gyógyszert, which is "medicine" in the accusative. |
| Let's hear it once again: gyógyszert, gyógyszert. |
| Finally, we have kérek ("would like, please"). |
| Let's break it down by syllable and hear it one more time: Megfázás elleni gyógyszert kérek. |
| Let's see how to explain your symptoms. |
| In Hungarian, "I have a headache" is Fáj a fejem. |
| Let's break it down by syllables. Fáj a fe-jem. |
| Now, let's hear it once again: Fáj a fejem. |
| The first word fáj means, "hurts." |
| Let's hear it one more time: fáj. |
| Next, we have a fejem, which means, "my head". |
| All together, we have: Fáj a fejem. |
| Literally, this means, "My head hurts." and in this case we translate it as "I have a headache." |
| A different way to say you are in pain, for example your stomach, is Fáj a gyomrom. |
| Let's break it down by syllable and hear it one more time: Fáj a gyom-rom. |
| Fáj a gyomrom. |
| This is a very straightforward sentence. fáj means, "hurts," a gyomrom means, "my stomach," |
| The only thing that changes is the word gyomrom ("my stomach"). |
| Let's hear the entire sentence again: Fáj a gyomrom. |
| Fáj a gyomrom. |

You'll have a few seconds before I give you the answer; so, sok szerencsét, which means "good luck" in Hungarian. |
| "A cold medicine, please." - Megfázás elleni gyógyszert kérek. |
