Whose body part: मेरो टाउको

Explanation

Parts of the body: टाउको "head", आँखा "eye", हात "hand", पेट "stomach", खुट्टा "leg". To say whose it is, use the -को of chapter 2: मेरो टाउको "my head", तिम्रो पेट "your stomach", हजुरआमाको खुट्टा "Grandma's leg". तपाईंको works the same way. To ask what is wrong: के भयो? "what happened?" — मेरो टाउको दुख्छ "my head hurts".

Examples

  • मेmeरोroहाhāतtदुduख्छkhchha।My hand hurts.
  • तtaपाpāईंī̃कोkoआँā̃खाkhāदुduख्छkhchha?Do your eyes hurt?

It hurts: … दुख्छ

Explanation

दुख्नु means "to ache". In Nepali the part that hurts is the subject of the sentence: टाउको दुख्छ, "the head aches". So दुख्छ is always the same: मेरो टाउको दुख्छ "my head hurts", हजुरआमाको खुट्टा दुख्छ "Grandma's leg hurts", तिम्रो पेट दुख्छ "your stomach hurts". For a second part, add पनि: टाउको दुख्छ, आँखा पनि दुख्छ "my head hurts, my eyes too".

Examples

  • टाṭāउuकोkoदुduख्छkhchha।My head hurts.
  • हhaजुjuरrआāमाmāकोkoखुkhuट्टाṭṭāदुduख्छkhchha।Grandma's leg hurts.
  • पेpeटṭपpaनिniदुduख्छkhchha।My stomach hurts too.
  • तिtiम्रोmroखुkhuट्टाṭṭāदुduख्छkhchha?Does your leg hurt? (to a friend)
