| 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 Bulgarian, "cold medicine" is lekarstvo za nastinka. Let's break it down by syllable. Le-kar-stvo za na-stin-ka. |
| "A cold medicine, please" in Bulgarian is Lekarstvo za nastinka, molya. Let's break it down by syllable. Le-kar-stvo za na-stin-ka mo-lya. The first word, lekarstvo, means "medicine." Then you have za, which literally means "for." Next, we have nastinka, which means "cold" (sickness). Finally, we have molya ("would like" or "please"). Let's break it down by syllable. Le-kar-stvo za na-stin-ka mo-lya. |
| Let's see how to explain your symptoms. In Bulgarian, "I have a headache" is Glavata me boli. Let's break it down by syllable. Gla-va-ta me bo-li. The first part, glavata me, means "my head." Next, we have boli, which means "hurts." All together, we have Glavata me boli. 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 in your stomach, is Boli me stomah. Let's break it down by syllable. Bo-li me sto-mah. This is a very straightforward sentence. Boli means "hurts," and me stomah means "my stomach." Easy, right? |
Outro |

You’ll have few seconds before I give you the answer. So, Успех! (Uspeh!) that means "Good luck!" in Bulgarian. Ok, here we go! |
