AKH ya dahree, AKH ya rasee, AKH ya gismee!

Well, I haven't been to my blog in a long time! Sometimes we just get too busy even for blogging!

But man! I'm so tired! la...begad halkana! I'm beat!
So, I was thinking (for a change)would you know what to tell a doctor if you had to visit one? And what kinds of things do we feel when we're sick or not feeling well.

We know kilmit pain which = waga3 which = wawa!. La mish han boos el wawa!

But most small illnesses use the word ache mish pain. For example:

headache = soda3
toothache = waga3t el sinan (we don't say teethache even if more than one tooth is hurting. We say I have a toothache in both these teeth (masalan))
earache = waga3 fee el widn
backache = waga3 fee el dahr
stomach or tummy ache = waga3 fee el batn

If you want to use the word 'pain' then you must say:
I have a pain in my stomach
I have a pain in my tooth...etc...
Fa 3ala eh el dawsha dee? Why not just say I have a toothache. (balash waga3 alb!!)

(heartache) is not for heart diseases. Heartache in English = waga3t alb bil Arabic. (ya3nee balash dawsha wa waga3 alb!!).

Other small ways to say that you are ill:

In English, they say 'catch cold' or 'caught a cold' which = 'khat bard'. After you 'catch' it, you can just say I have a cold. Or I have the flu (influenza).

Symptoms of a cold: 3arad el bard:

temperature/fever = harara
sore throat = (lama zorak yewga3) I have a sore throat
runny nose = (manakheer sayba) WA PLS BALASH FALSAFA AND DON'T CHANGE IT TO I HAVE A RUNNING NOSE. HEYA ISMAHA RUNNY NOSE. A RUNNING NOSE IS A MANAKHEER BITIGREE!! LOU INTA MANAKHERAK BITIGREE...GOOD LUCK IN TRYING TO CATCH IT!!!!
Loss of apetite = no shaheya or nifs mazdouda.
sneezing = 3ats (achoo!!)I'm sneezing (bas mish I have a sneeze).
cough = coha I'm coughing or I have a cough.
throw up = (mish 3arfaha in nice Arabic...ana 3arfa lama el wahid yeraga3. Ikheee!)

Kol dol symptoms beta3 hetit bard!! Ma lou el wahid galu haga anyal min bard ha yehsalu eh!! El hamdlilAllah 3al kol sh'ea!!
