- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Japanese with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Episode 187 — can you believe it? Lucas: I know. And we've covered a lot. Last time we did a review of soft and hard, 柔らかい and 硬い. Luna: Right. But today I think we're going back to the pharmacy, right? Because I want to be able to say exactly where it hurts. Lucas: Exactly. We did some pain words a few episodes ago, but let's expand and really lock them in. So today's phrases are all about describing pain. Luna: Good. Because last time I only learned 頭が痛い and お腹が痛い. I need more. Lucas: We'll add 歯が痛い — tooth pain, and 喉が痛い — throat pain. And also the super useful ここが痛い — 'it hurts here'. Luna: Ohh, ここが痛い. That's smart — you can just point. Lucas: Exactly. So let's start with the one you know: 頭が痛い. Luna: 頭が痛い. Head hurts. Lucas: Perfect. Now next: お腹が痛い. Luna: お腹が痛い. Stomach hurts. Lucas: Great. Now new one: 歯が痛い. Luna: 歯が痛い. Tooth hurts. Lucas: Yes. And 喉が痛い. Luna: 喉が痛い. Throat hurts. Lucas: You've got it. Now the really handy one: ここが痛い. Luna: ここが痛い. It hurts here. Lucas: Right. And you can point to any body part. Let's put them in a mini conversation. Imagine you're at the pharmacy. Luna: Okay. Lucas: The pharmacist asks: どうしましたか？ Luna: That's 'What's wrong?' Lucas: Right. And you can say: 頭が痛いです。 or お腹が痛いです。 or even ここが痛いです。 pointing. Luna: 頭が痛いです。お腹が痛いです。ここが痛いです。 I like that. Lucas: Let's practice them all again. Repeat after me: 頭が痛い. Luna: 頭が痛い. Lucas: お腹が痛い. Luna: お腹が痛い. Lucas: 歯が痛い. Luna: 歯が痛い. Lucas: 喉が痛い. Luna: 喉が痛い. Lucas: ここが痛い. Luna: ここが痛い.

And now back to pain. Let's try a short dialogue. I'll be the customer. Lucas: Okay. どうしましたか？ Luna: 頭が痛いです。 Lucas: 風邪ですか？ Luna: いいえ、ここが痛いです。 Lucas: Ah, so you're saying 'It hurts here' pointing to your head. なるほど。 Luna: なるほど。 So that's a good phrase. ここが痛いです。 Lucas: Let's do one more round: 歯が痛い. Luna: 歯が痛い. Lucas: 喉が痛い. Luna: 喉が痛い. Lucas: Great work today, Luna. Luna: Thanks, Lucas. Now I can tell the pharmacist exactly where it hurts. Lucas: Keep practicing these. Say them out loud.
