Sickness and Flus

Kombanwa mina-san!

Jeremi desu yo!

Sickness! (Beginner)

Ahhh *cough*, do I really have to blog? *sniff* I shall do it for the loyal viewers!

Todays lesson will be a lesson in the Japanese language regarding

everything about sickness! It contains everything you simply

need to know about Japanese phrases and words regarding sickness, medical issues, about how well you feel and your wellbeing etc.

I thought that this time of the month *cue evil music*, the flu infestation time, *evil music stops* would be the ideal time to learn about phrases relevant towards sickness! Of course, now in Japan, it's not winter, quite the opposite,

but in the souther hemisphere (where this blogger originates from :D) it indeed is!

I'm, unfortunately, sick myself, and so have been plagued from sickness's wrath :(

But, I continue to blog on! No virus shall keep me at bay from blogging!

Let's start off simply with phrases which are more related to how one feels!

O-genki desu ka?- Are you well? (How are you?)

genki desu!- I'm well!

Kibun ga ikaga desu ka?- How do you feel?

Kibun ga warui desu :( - I feel bad :(

OR, kimochi ga warui desu- I feel ill

Genki is a word which literally means "good", so by adding the questioning particle "ka" and the structure particle "desu" after this word, you get a question regarding how well somebody is! Please note that the "o-", in this case, is necessary for the question version (e.g o-genki desu ka?), but not for the aswering version or reply (e.g genki desu!). Warui is a word which means "ill, bad". Kibun literally means "perceptual feelings", and so by adding the questioning structure to it, and "ikaga", you get a question which relates to how somebody feels physically. Also, "ikaga", is just simply a formal version of "how is it", instead of o-genki, or dou. Kimochi literally means "feeling", or "sensation", so by saying kimochi ga warui desu, you are stating that you feel ill.

Moving on to the more specific sickness feelings, symptoms, general hospital help!

Netsu ga arimasu!- I have a fever!

Isha wo yonde kudasai- Please call the doctor

Tasukete kudasai- Please help

Yoku nari mashita!- I feel much better!

Noda ga itamimasu- I have a sore throat.

Hakike ga suru!- I feel nauseated!

Kaze wo hikimashita!- I have a cold!

Seki ga tomarimasen- I can't stop coughing

Tsukaremashita!- I'm tired!

Zutsu ga suru- I have a head ache!

Wow! I'm sorry for letting out those slightly higher level phrases!

I shall justify them all at once :)

Netsu ga arimasu- Netsu means fever, ga is another version of wa (used in situations where you're talking about what you have), arimasu simply means I have.

Isha wo yonde kudasai- Isha, meaning doctor, wo meaning of, yonde, meaning call, kudasai meaning please.

Tasukete kudasai- Tasukete meaning help, kudasai meaning please.

Yoku nari mashita!- Yoku meaning well, narimashita meanings becoming

Noda ga itamimasu- Noda meaning throat, ga meaning is, and itamimasu being the pain version of I have (itai means pain, arimasu means to have).

Hakike ga suru!- Hakike meaning nauseation, ga meaning is, suru means to be.

Kaze wo hikimashita- Kaze meaning sickness, wo meaning of, hikimashita meaning to have.

Seki ga tomarimasen- Seki meaning cough, ga meaning is, tomarimasen means to not stop.

Tsukaremashita- Tsukare, to be tired, mashita to be.

Zutsu ga suru- I have a head ache!

Thank you for reading lesson number 3!

I promise to make a more detailed lesson next time, kibun ga warui desu yo :(. Kimochi ga warui desu yo!

This lesson was paticularly vocab intensive, and so will require a lot of revision :)

Arigato!

Ja mata!
