Lucas: Exactly. We covered belly and stomach. Today we're going to the pharmacy again, but this time for something serious: antibiotics. Luna: Oh, antibiotics. That's important. I hope I never need them, but good to know the words. Lucas: For sure. Let's start with the main phrase: Ik heb antibiotica nodig. That means 'I need antibiotics.' Luna: Ik heb antibiotica nodig.
