It all started suddenly after lunch at that seafood restaurant. I felt so bad that I came straight to the doctors where I'm now waiting to be seen. In Spanish, if the doctor is a man, we say el doctor. If the doctor is a woman, we say la doctora. You can also say, El Medico or La Medica. These, for the most part, are used interchangeably. So just say what comes to you most comfortably. Anyway, let me tell you what symptoms I'm feeling right now,

and the Spanish translation for each of them. Firstly, I feel nauseous. To say this in Spanish, you would say, I'm nausea. I have nausea. So in Spanish, I would say, Tengo nauseas. Tengo.

Nausees. In Spanish, we do not say I am nauseous like we do in English. Instead, we say we have it. Hence, Tengo. Secondly, to say I have vomited a lot, I would say, I've vomitado much. E, vomitado, much. To say I feel like vomiting, I would say,

I feel like vomiting, I would say, I'm going to vomit. Siento, Ganas You know that nasty feeling when you feel that urge to be sick? Yet in Spanish they call that Ganas de vomitare. Gannas de vomitar. The doctor might ask me, do you feel like being sick?

In Spanish, this would be Tiena Ganas de vomitar. Tiena ganaes de vomitare? Next, I want to tell the doctor that my stomach hurts. In Spanish, to say something hurts, we say, Me dule. Me, meaning me, and dule, meaning it hurts. Me dule means it hurts me, but it literally translates as

me, it hurts. remember this combination because with it you can express pain in any part of your body for example me dule el cuerto my body hurts me dule el cuirpo or me dule la cava which translates literally as me it hurts the head or my head hurts me It hurts the head or me duly the corme it hurts me the heart my heart hurts me duly the

korda son or me duly el alma this translates literally to me it hurts the soul or my soul hurts me duly elma in this case I can definitely tell the doctor, me dule the estomago. My stomach hurts. Me, dule el estomago.

If we wanted to say multiple things are hurting, like our bones or our teeth, or Alex, we would make a slight change from me dule to me duelen. I'm simply adding an N to dule. Dule and duelen belong to the same verb, but dule means it hurts and duelen means they hurt. All we have done is conjugated the verb. So, if I wanted to say my bones hurt, me duelen los wessos.

They hurt me the bones. Me duen los wessos. If I wanted to say my arms hurt, I would say, Me duelen los brasos. Literally translated, this means, me they hurt the arms. Me dullen los brasos. Finally, to say my lungs hurt,

we would say, me, dwelling los pulmones. me they hurt the lungs me dwellin los pulmonis anyway back to my symptoms I have a pretty high fever to say this you would just say Dengo Fievre

which literally translates to I have fever Fievre sounds quite similar to fever Fiebre Fever Fever. One more time. I have a fever is Tengo Fiebre. To say I feel tired, I would say

Me Siento cancado. Me Siento Cancado. I could also just say that I am tired. I'm tired. I'm Cancado To say I have muscle pains

I would say Tengo Dolores Musculare Tengo Dolores Musculare You can also say My muscles hurt

Or they hurt me the muscles Me duels Muelein los musculos Me Dwelein Los Musculos.

Ah, great. It looks like the doctor is ready to see me now. Ola, how is the doctor? Me siento mal. This means I feel unwell. I feel bad. Right. I'm now going to test you on what we've covered

so that we can tell the doctor all of the symptoms I'm feeling. I'm feeling nauseous. Siento nauseas. Sienta. nauseas I have nausea I have nausea I have nausea

I have nauseous I have vomited a lot I vomitado much I vomitado much

how would I tell the doctor I feel like vomiting I feel like vomiting siento ganas to vomit Siento

Ganas Ganas to vomit that I have stomach pain or that it hurts me the stomach me duly the stomach and how would I tell the doctor that I have a headache

in other words it hurts me the head me dule la Cabeza me dole the Creveza and how would I tell the doctor that I have a fever

Tengue Fiebre Tengue Fievery How would I tell the doctor that my bones hurt? Or that they hurt me the bones. Me duelen los Wesos To say I have muscle pains would be Tengo dolores muscularis. Tengo

Dolores Doloes Musculare. There. Now the doctor is running some tests. I wonder what's wrong with me. They've come back and told me I have intoxication alimentaria.

In English this means food poisoning. Intoxication Alimentaria. Food poisoning, they say. Ah, I know what it is. I know. it must have been that seafood platter specifically it would have been that dodgy oyster let me just tell the doctor that doctor I think that I came a a extra mala creo kee comey one ostra mala that means doctor I think that I ate a bad oyster Well, I'm glad I got to the bottom of that.

I am feeling a bit better, but the doctor has just told me to go home, rest and drink plenty of water. And if I get any worse, then I'll need to come back. So with that being said, I'm going to go home and sleep. I don't think I'll be heading out to the bar as I had planned for those birthday drinks tonight. But at least I'm going to be okay.
