Filipino Survival Phrases Lesson 45 - Explaining symptoms in Filipino.
In today's lesson, we'll work on explaining symptoms so that you can get the proper treatment and any medicine you may need.
In Filipino, "I have a headache" is Masakit ang ulo ko.
Masakit ang ulo ko.
Let's break it down by syllable: Masakit ang ulo ko.
Now, let's hear it once again: Masakit ang ulo ko.
The first word Masakit means "pain" or "ache."
Let's break down this word and hear it one more time: Masakit.
And, Masakit.
This is followed by Ang, which in Filipino is "the."
Ang.
And, Ang.
This is followed by Ulo, which means "head."
Let's break down this word and hear it one more time: Ulo.
Ulo.
Then followed by Ko, which in English means "me" or "I."
Let's hear it again: Ko.
And, one more time: Ko.
So, to recap here, we have Masakit ang ulo ko. Literally, this means "I have a headache."
We'll look at some more phrases with the same pattern. Namely, "I have" stays the same and only the symptom changes. So, let's go over some other symptoms.
In Filipino, the word for "stomach" is Tiyan.
Tiyan.
And, Tiyan.
And the phrase "I have stomachache" is Masakit ang tiyan ko.
In Filipino, the word for "throat" is Lalamunan.
Lalamunan.
And, Lalamunan.
And the phrase "I have sore throat" is Masakit ang lalamunan ko.
In Filipino, "I have a fever" is May lagnat ako.
Let's break this down by syllable and hear it one more time: May lagnat ako.
May lagnat ako.
The first word May expressing possibility, chance, or permission.
Let's hear it again: May.
And, one more time: May.
Followed by Lagnat, which in English is "fever."
Let’s break down this word and hear it one more time: Lagnat.
And, Lagnat.
Then, followed by Ako, which means "me" or "I."
Let's break down this word by syllable and hear it one more time: Ako.
And, Ako.
In Filipino, "I have a cold" is May trangkaso ako.
Let's break down this syllable and hear it one more time: May trangkaso ako.
And, May trangkaso ako.
The first word May expressing possibility, chance, or permission.
Let's hear it again: May.
And one more time: May.
Followed by Trangkaso, which means "cold."
Let's break this down by syllable: Trangkaso.
And, Trangkaso.
Then followed by Ako, which in English means "me" or "I."
So, to recap everything, we have May trangkaso ako, which in English means "I have a cold."
In Filipino, "I have a stuffed nose" is Barado ang ilong ko.
Let’s break this down by syllable and hear it one more time: Barado ang ilong ko.
And, Barado ang ilong ko.
The first word Barado means "obstructed" or "clogged."
Let’s break down this syllable and hear it one more time: Barado.
And, Barado.
The second word is Ang, which means "the."
Let’s hear it again: Ang.
And one more time: Ang.
Followed by Ilong, which in English means "nose."
Let’s break down this word by syllable: Ilong.
And, Ilong.
Then followed by Ko, which means "me" or "I."
Let's hear it again: Ko
And one more time: Ko.
So, to recap everything, we have Barado ang ilong ko, which means "I have a stuffed nose."
The next phrase may be hard to listen to, but if it happens to you, you'll be extremely glad we went over it! In Filipino, the expression "I have diarrhea" is Nagtatae ako with the word for "diarrhea" being Nagtatae.
Nagtatae.
And, Nagtatae.
"I have diarrhea."
"I feel nauseous" in Filipino is Nasusuka ako, with the word "nauseous" as Nasusuka.
Let's break down this word and hear it one more time: Nasusuka.
Nasusuka.
And, Nasusuka.
Followed by Ako, which means "I" or "me."
Let's hear it again: Ako.
And, one more time: Ako.
So, to recap everything, Nasusuka ako. "I feel nauseous."
For the phrase "I have a cold" in Filipino, May trangkaso ako, with the word Trangkaso as "cold," don’t confuse the word "cold" as in temperature. The word for "cold temperature" is Malamig in Filipino.
