Lesson Transcript

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.

After this is hospitalini, which literally means, “to the hospital.”

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.
