## More situations

## How do you say “I’m sick” in Chinese?

我生病了 (wǒ shēngbìng le) is “I’m ill”; for feeling unwell, 我不舒服 (wǒ bù shūfu). Then say what hurts with 疼 (téng): 我头疼, 我肚子疼.

## How do you see a doctor in China?

Most people go to a hospital’s outpatient department rather than a family doctor. You register first (挂号, guàhào) at a counter, a machine or the hospital’s app, then wait to be called.

## How do I say them right?

Press Play and say each phrase with the voice, slow first, then at normal speed. Each word’s pinyin is above it, its tone marked.

## Can’t hear it?

Play uses your device’s Mandarin voice. Edge, Chrome and Safari have one; a browser with none plays each word in our recorded voice instead.
