| 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. |
