Latest / Learn Telugu with Fexingo / Telugu Body Parts - Head to Toe
Transcript
- Lucas: Luna, welcome back to Learn Telugu with Fexingo! Episode 19, can you believe it? Luna: I know, right? And I still remember the fruits from last time: ఆపిల్, అరటిపండు, మామిడిపండు. Lucas: Wow, you're on fire. Okay, today we're talking about body parts. Head, hands, legs — the basics. Luna: Oh, good! I've been wanting to point at things and say 'this is my...' but I didn't have the words. Lucas: Perfect. So let's start with the head. In Telugu, 'head' is 'తల'. Say it with me: తల. Luna: తల. Lucas: Good. Now, if you want to say 'this is my head', you say 'ఇది నా తల'. Repeat after me: ఇది నా తల. Luna: ఇది నా తల. Lucas: Exactly. So 'ఇది' means 'this', 'నా' means 'my', and 'తల' is 'head'. So 'this is my head'. Let's try a quick scene. Imagine you're pointing to your head and telling a friend. Luna: ఇది నా తల. Lucas: Perfect. Now let's move to hands. 'Hands' in Telugu is 'చేతులు'. Say it: చేతులు. Luna: చేతులు. That's a mouthful! Lucas: It is, but you got it. Now for 'these are my hands', we say 'ఇవి నా చేతులు'. 'ఇవి' means 'these'. So: ఇవి నా చేతులు. Luna: ఇవి నా చేతులు. Hmm. So 'తల' is singular, 'చేతులు' is plural? Lucas: Exactly! You're catching on. Head is one, hands are many. Now legs: 'legs' in Telugu is 'కాళ్ళు'. Say it: కాళ్ళు. Luna: కాళ్ళు. Lucas: Great. And 'these are my legs' is 'ఇవి నా కాళ్ళు'. Try it. Luna: ఇవి నా కాళ్ళు. Lucas: Yes! Now let's put it all together. I'll point to each body part and you say the phrase. Ready? Luna: Ready. Lucas: Points to head. Luna: ఇది నా తల. Lucas: Points to hands. Luna: ఇవి నా చేతులు. Lucas: Points to legs. Luna: ఇవి నా కాళ్ళు. Lucas: Wow, you nailed it. Let's do a quick review. Repeat after me: తల. Luna: తల. Lucas: చేతులు. Luna: చేతులు. Lucas: కాళ్ళు. Luna: కాళ్ళు. Lucas: And the full sentences: ఇది నా తల. Luna: ఇది నా తల. Lucas: ఇవి నా చేతులు. Luna: ఇవి నా చేతులు. Lucas: ఇవి నా కాళ్ళు. Luna: ఇవి నా కాళ్ళు. Lucas: I love how quickly you picked that up. Now, let's do a fun little scene. Imagine you're at the doctor and they ask you what hurts. You can point and say these phrases. Luna: Oh, that's useful. So if my head hurts, I say 'ఇది నా తల'? Lucas: Well, you'd say 'నా తల నొప్పిగా ఉంది' for 'my head hurts', but we'll learn that another time. For now, just pointing works. Luna: Got it. So just the body part name and 'this is my...'. Lucas: Exactly. Let's do one more round for memory. I'll say the English, you say the Telugu. Head. Luna: తల. Lucas: Hands. Luna: చేతులు. Lucas: Legs. Luna: కాళ్ళు. Lucas: This is my head. Luna: ఇది నా తల. Lucas: These are my hands. Luna: ఇవి నా చేతులు. Lucas: These are my legs. Luna: ఇవి నా కాళ్ళు. Lucas: Wonderful! Now you can describe basic body parts in Telugu. Practice pointing to yourself and saying these phrases throughout the day. Luna: I will. Thanks, Lucas! And thanks to Fexingo for this fun lesson. Lucas: Absolutely. Keep practicing, and we'll see you next time on Learn Telugu with Fexingo. Until then, bye! Luna: Bye! తల, చేతులు, కాళ్ళు — got it!
