Survival Phrases lesson 51
Learn to say your allergies in Hindi
In this lesson, we'll cover a phrase that will be essential for those of you who are allergic to something. Letting other people know about your allergy is vital to a fun and healthy trip. In today's phrase, we'll go over "I'm allergic to something."
To start, we'll need something that we are allergic to. In some cases, allergies to peanut can be extremely dangerous. So, let's start from there.
In Hindi, "I am allergic to peanuts" is mujhe mungfali se elarjii hai.
mujhe mungfali se elarjii hai.
Let’s break it down by syllable: mujhe mungfali se elarjii hai.
Now, let's hear it once again: mujhe mungfali se elarjii hai.
The first word, mujhe, means, "I have."
Let's break this word and hear it once again: mujhe.
mujhe
Next is mungfali, meaning "peanuts."
Let's break down this word and hear it once again: mungfali.
mungfali
Next is se, which means "from." And then, we have elarjii, which in English is "allergy." And then, we have hai, which means "is".
All together, we have mujhe mungfali se elarjii hai, which means, "I am allergic to the peanuts."
Now, let's go over some other common allergies. Let's try shrimp. The Hindi word for shrimp is (झींगा) jhinga.
jhinga
jhinga
Therefore, "I am allergic to shrimp" is mujhe jhinga se elarjii hai.
mujhe jhinga se elarjii hai
Let's break it down by syllable: mujhe jhinga se elarjii hai.
Now, let's hear it once again: mujhe jhinga se elarjii hai.
Notice that the only thing that changes here is jhinga in place of mungfali, while the rest is the same.
Let's try with "eggs," which in Hindi is anda.
anda.
"I am allergic to eggs" is mujhe ande se elarjii hai.
mujhe ande se elarjii hai.
mujhe ande se elarjii hai.
Let's try with "milk," which in Hindi is Doodh.
Doodh
"I am allergic to milk" is mujhe Doodh se elarjii hai.
mujhe Doodh se elarjii hai.
In case you have to go to the doctor or to the hospital during your trip to India, you might be asked about your conditions. If you have allergies, make sure to get the right treatment.
In Hindi, "Do you have any allergies?" is kya apako koi elarjii hai?
kya apako koi elarjii hai?
Let's break it down by syllable: kya apako koi elarjii hai?
Now, let's hear it again: kya apako koi elarjii hai?
The first word kya is interrogative, and kya apako means "Do you have?"
Next is koi, which in English is "any."
Let us hear it one more time: koi.
koi
Next is elarjii, which in English is "allergy." The word is borrowed from English, so it has similar pronunciation as in English.
Next is hai which is "is".
All together, we have kya apko koi elarjii hai? This means, "Do you have any allergy?"
In Hindi, "I am having an allergic reaction" is mujhe elarjii ki praTikriya hai.
mujhe elarjii ki praTikriya hai.
Let's break it down by syllable: mujhe elarjii ki praTikriya hai.
Now, hear it once again: mujhe elarjii ki praTikriya hai
The first word, mujhe, means, "I have."
mujhe
mujhe
Next, we have elarjii ki, which means "allergic" in English.
elarjii ki
And then, we have hai, which means "is."
All together, we have mujhe elarjii ki praTikriya hai. This means, "I have an allergic reaction."
