| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Becky: Fira, we talked about the health care system in the previous lesson, but what about personal health insurance? Is it necessary to have in Indonesia? |
| Fira: Sure, it’s better to have it, but some people can’t afford additional insurance, in which case they use traditional medicine. |
| Becky: What are some traditional medicines? |
| Fira: For example, there is a common traditional method to cure cold symptoms called kerokan, in which a coin is drawn across someone's back while cajuput oil, olive oil, or palm oil is applied. This kind of therapy has existed since the royal era in Indonesia. |

| KEY VOCAB AND PHRASES |
| Becky: Let's have a closer look at some of the words and phrases from this lesson. In this lesson we have.. |
| Fira: panas tinggi |
| Becky: meaning "high fever." |
| Fira: panas is an adjective meaning "hot," and tinggi is an adjective meaning "high." Literally this phrase means "hot high." |
| Becky: You can use this phrase if you want to tell the doctor that you have a high fever. |
| Fira: panas tinggi is interchangeable with the word demam. A common derivation is saya sedang panas, or "I have a fever." |
| Becky: If you’re saying this, people will automatically assume that you have a high fever, even if you don’t say the word... |
| Fira: tinggi |
| Becky: Can you give us an example using the word “high fever”? |
| Fira: Sure. For example, you can say.. Adik saya sedang panas tinggi sejak kemarin malam. |
| Becky: ..which means "My younger sister has had a high fever since last night." By the way, can we use this expression to say that we are feeling hot on a hot day? |
| Fira: Well, in that case we’d use the word kepanasan, meaning “suffering from the heat,” as in saya kepanasan. |
| Becky: “I'm suffering from the heat.” Okay, now onto the lesson focus. |
Lesson focus |
| Becky: In this lesson, you'll learn how to talk about pain and illness, which can be very important to know in case you get sick while you’re in Indonesia and need to explain your symptoms. |
| Fira: To describe your symptoms you can use the word sakit, |
| Becky: meaning “to have pain.” For example, “I feel sick” or “I have pain” is.. |
| Fira: Saya sakit |
| Becky: You can use it for almost every type of pain, like stomach aches, toothaches and headaches. The grammar structure is very simple. |
| Fira: First say the pronoun, then add the word sakit, meaning “to have pain,” and finally name the part of the body that is experiencing pain. |
| Becky: Fira, following our pattern, how would you say “I have a headache” in Indonesian? |
| Fira: Saya sakit kepala. “I” in Indonesian is “saya” and “head” is “kepala” , So “I have a headache” will be Saya sakit kepala. |
| Becky: How about “He has a stomachache.”? |
| Fira: It's simple. “He” is dia and “stomach” is perut |
| Becky: So altogether we have… |
| Fira: Dia sakit perut. |
| Becky: “He has a stomachache.” What about “I have a toothache.”? |
| Fira: “Tooth” is gigi. So altogether it will be Saya sakit gigi. |
| Becky: “I have a toothache.” |
| Fira: Listeners, speaking of headaches, you can also use the word pusing... |
| Becky: ...which can also be translated as “dizzy,” or used as an idiom to express when something is too complicated to deal with. For example, you can say... |
| Fira: Saya pusing. |
| Becky: “I feel dizzy,” or you can say... |
| Fira: Terlalu banyak pilihan, saya jadi pusing. |
| Becky: “There are too many choices, it’s giving me a headache.” |
| Fira: For some non-typical symptoms, there is another pattern. First, the body part, second, a possessive adjective, then the word sakit, which means “to have pain.” |
| Becky: For example… |
| Fira: Kaki saya sakit. |
| Becky: “My feet hurt.” |
| Fira: kaki is for “feet.” |
| Becky: And we need to use this pattern to say “My chest hurts.” |
| Fira: In Indonesian, that’s Dada saya sakit. Dada means “chest.” |
Outro |
| Becky: Okay, that’s all for this lesson. Thank you for listening, everyone, and we’ll see you next time! Bye! |
| Fira: Sampai jumpa lagi. |
