| INTRODUCTION |
| In this lesson, we’ll introduce you to some phrases you will find useful if you need medical assistance. When traveling, sometimes the body takes a little time to adjust, and the immune system is no different. In this lesson, you’ll learn some phrases that will help get you to a location where you can get medical assistance. We’ll start with the phrase “Please take me to the hospital.” |
| BODY |
| In Swahili, “Please take me to the hospital” is |
| Tafadhali nipeleke hospitalini. |
| Let’s break it down by syllable. |
| (slow) Tafadhali nipeleke hospitalini. |
| Let’s hear it again. |
| Tafadhali nipeleke hospitalini. |
| First, we have tafadhali, which is “please” in English as you should remember by now. Next we have nipeleke, which means “take me” |
| (slow) nipeleke |
| nipeleke |
| After this is hospitalini, which literally means, “to the hospital.” |
| (slow) hospitalini |
| hospitalini |
| Altogether, we have, |
| (slow) Tafadhali nipeleke hospitalini. |
| Tafadhali nipeleke hospitalini. |
| We translate it as “Please take me to the hospital.” |
| If you would like someone to take you to visit a doctor, you can use the following phrase. “Please take me to the doctor,” which is |
| Tafadhali nipeleke kwa daktari. |
| Let’s break it down. |
| (slow) Tafadhali nipeleke kwa daktari. |
| Tafadhali nipeleke kwa daktari. |
| As you can see, this phrase is very similar to the previous one. |
| the only thing that changes is kwa daktari in place of hospitalini. |
| (slow) kwa daktari |
| kwa daktari |
| Altogether, we have, |
| (slow) Tafadhali nipeleke kwa daktari. |
| Tafadhali nipeleke kwa daktari. |
