INTRODUCTION |
In this lesson, we’ll introduce you to some phrases you can use just in case you need medical assistance. When you’re traveling, sometimes your body takes a little time to adjust. In this lesson, we’ll go over some phrases that will help get you to a location where you can get medical assistance. |
GRAMMAR POINT |
First, you will need to explain how bad your situation is. |
When you want to say, “I feel very sick.” in Czech, you can say.. Je mi velmi špatně. |
Let’s break it down by syllable. |
(slow) Je mi vel-mi špat-ně. |
Let’s hear it again. |
Je mi velmi špatně. |
First, we have je, which is a form of the verb “to be”. |
Then we have mi meaning “I” |
(slow) Mi. |
Mi. |
After this is velmi which means, “very”. |
(slow) Vel-mi. |
Velmi. |
Then we have špatně meaning “bad”. |
(slow) Špat-ně. |
Špatně. |
All together, we have |
(slow) Je mi vel-mi špat-ně. |
Je mi velmi špatně. |
“I’m very sick.” |
To ask someone to call an ambulance, you have to say Zavolejte ambulanci, prosím, which we learned in the previous lesson. In English, this literally means “call the ambulance please”. |
Let’s break it down. |
(slow) Za-vo-lej-te am-bu-lan-ci, pro-sím. |
Zavolejte ambulanci, prosím. |
The first word zavolejte is a form of the verb “to call”. |
After that we have ambulanci meaning “ambulance”. |
And at the end, we have the word prosím meaning “please.” |
The whole phrase once again is: |
(slow) Za-vo-lej-te am-bu-lan-ci, pro-sím. |
Zavolejte ambulanci, prosím. |
