| Explaining symptoms in Hindi. |
| Once you are in the pharmacy, you will need to explain how you feel in order to let the pharmacist give you the right medicine. 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 Hindi, "cold medicine" is sarDii ki Dava. |
| sarDii ki Dava |
| Let's break it down by syllable and hear it one more time: sarDii ki Dava |
| sarDii ki Dava |
| "A cold medicine please," in Hindi, is Kripaya, ek sarDii ki Dava. |
| Kripaya, ek sarDii ki Dava |
| Let's break it down by syllable: Kripaya, ek sarDii ki Dava. |
| Kripaya, ek sarDii ki Dava |
| The first word Kripaya mean "please." |
| Next is the work ek, which means "one." |
| And then, you have sarDii, which means, "cold." |
| sarDii. |
| sarDii. |
| Next, we have ki, the preposition for "for." Let's hear it once again, ki. |
| Finally, we have Dava or "medicine." |
| Let's break it down by syllable and hear it once again: Dava |
| Dava. |
| All together, we have Kripaya ek sarDii ki Dava, kripya, which means, "A medicine for the cold, please." |
| Let's see how to explain your symptoms. |
| In Hindi, "I have a headache" is sir DarD hai. |
| sir DarD hai. |
| Let's break it down by syllable: sir DarD hai. |
| Let's hear it one more time: sir DarD hai. |
| Next, we have DarD, which literally means, "aching." Or in other words, "a headache" is sir DarD and hai means, "is." |
| All together, we have sir DarD hai, which means, "I have a headache." |
| A different way to say you are in pain, for example, your stomach, is pet DarD hai. |
| pet DarD hai. |
| Let’s break it down by syllable and hear it once again: pet DarD hai. |
| pet DarD hai. |
| This is a very straightforward sentence. It's the same as the previous one. The only change is pet in place of sar. Pet means, "stomach." |
Outro |

You'll have a few seconds before I give you the answer, so गुड लक! (guud Lak!), which means "good luck" in Hindi. |
