Lesson Transcript

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.
