Hello friends! Welcome to our Slow Turkish podcast.
Hello everyone! Today we have a wonderful topic again.
Elif, I worked at the computer all day yesterday.
Emre, you didn't rest at all yesterday, right?
Haha, you guessed right Elif! My head hurt a little.
You sat at the desk all day. Very normal!
You are right. So I went to a pharmacy in the late afternoon.
In Istanbul, in every neighborhood, there is a nice pharmacy.
Pharmacists are always helpful and sweet.
So, what do we say when buying simple things at a pharmacy?
Today we are learning six important phrases for this.
Great! Now let's look at these six phrases in order.
Our first phrase: Baş ağrısı için ilaç istiyorum.
With this sentence, we tell the pharmacist our situation right away.
Our second phrase: Reçete lazım mı?
We ask if an official paper from the doctor is required.
Our third phrase: Küçük bir kutu var mı?
We ask for a small pack to try or for travel.
Our fourth phrase: Bunu nasıl kullanıyorum?
We ask the pharmacist and learn the instructions on the box.
Our fifth phrase: Toplam ne kadar?
We learn the total price before paying at the register.
Our sixth phrase: Kartla ödeyebilir miyim?
If there is no cash, we pay with a bank card.
Now let's listen to what happened at the pharmacy in Moda yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon, I walked a little on the Moda seaside.
The weather was windy, wasn't it Emre?
There was wind and my head was hurting mildly.
Nearby, you immediately saw a pharmacy with a red sign.
I slowly walked toward the pharmacy on the sunny street.
The street was quiet and a light breeze was blowing from the sea.
I opened the glass door and went inside.
Inside was clean and quiet, right?
Inside there were wooden shelves, a smiling pharmacist.
The pharmacist smiled right away and looked at you.
I smiled and said: Baş ağrısı için ilaç istiyorum.
The pharmacist listened to you and immediately looked at the shelves.
The pharmacist looked at me and showed a suitable box.
And you asked whether paper from a doctor was required.
I asked right away: Reçete lazım mı?
The pharmacist said there is no prescription for these simple things.
Then he placed two different packages on the counter.
Large packages take up a lot of space in a bag.
So I asked: Küçük bir kutu var mı?
The pharmacist immediately brought a small blue box.
I took the box in my hand and asked: Bunu nasıl kullanıyorum?
The pharmacist showed you the instructions on the box, right?
Yes, he explained the information on the box nicely.
Buying a small pack is really very sensible.
I took out my wallet and asked: Toplam ne kadar?
The pharmacist told you the price, right?
He said one hundred and fifty liras.
And you took out your card from your bag.
There was no cash, I asked: Kartla ödeyebilir miyim?
The pharmacist held out the small device toward you.
I tapped my card and took a small paper bag.
What did you do next? Did you walk a little more on the coast?
I left the pharmacy and walked slowly on the seaside.
Very good! Did you also read the instructions on the box?
You are very right Elif. I listened to the pharmacist and read the instructions.
Pharmacists in Istanbul really help a lot.
They always listen patiently and give information.
The red letter 'E' in front of pharmacies is very lovely.
Even from a distant street, we immediately see the red light.
Now let's examine these six beautiful phrases up close.
Let's start with our first phrase Elif.
Our first phrase: Baş ağrısı için ilaç istiyorum.
This sentence means, 'I want medicine for a headache' in English.
Here, 'baş ağrısı' means our head hurting.
We use the word 'için' like 'for' in English.
When entering the pharmacy, we say this sentence first.
Example: Hello, I want medicine for a headache.
A natural and polite opening sentence.
When the pharmacist hears this sentence, he immediately shows the suitable box.
There is no need at all to make unnecessarily long sentences.
Speaking short and clear always makes our job easier.
The pharmacist also helps us right away.
Now let's move on to our second phrase.
Our second phrase: Reçete lazım mı?
This question means, 'Is a prescription needed?' in English.
'Reçete' is an official medicine paper from the doctor.
'Lazım mı' means 'is it necessary'.
A prescription is not needed for simple mint teas or lozenges.
Example: Is a prescription needed for this mint tea?
And the pharmacist answers, 'No, a prescription is not needed'.
With simple questions, we feel comfortable in the pharmacy.
Asking short and clear is always the best!
We also understand when it is necessary to go to the doctor.
Pharmacists know prescription medicines right away.
Now let's look at our third phrase.
Our third phrase: Küçük bir kutu var mı?
This sentence means, 'Is there a small box?' in English.
Sometimes for only one or two days, we want medicine.
We don't want to buy a large box, a small amount is enough.
Example: Is there a small box for my bag?
The pharmacist says 'Yes, we have a small box'.
We both pay less money, and carry a light package.
When traveling, small packs are a great convenience.
It doesn't make weight in the bag and is very practical.
Accumulating old medicine at home is also not good at all.
Buying as much as we need is always the most correct.
Now let's move on to our fourth phrase.
Our fourth phrase: Bunu nasıl kullanıyorum?
This question means, 'How do I use this?' in English.
Learning how we use the medicine is very important.
We learn the details and information on the box nicely.
Example: How many times a day and how do I use this?
The pharmacist says, 'Read the instructions on the box carefully'.
Asking this always reassures a person.
The pharmacist can also write a small note on the box.
This way we use it correctly at home without forgetting.
Pharmacists' explanations are always very valuable.
If we have a question, we never hesitate to ask again.
Now let's look at our fifth phrase.
Our fifth phrase: Toplam ne kadar?
This question means, 'How much is the total?' in English.
At the end of shopping, we ask the total price at the register.
'Ne kadar' is the basic pattern for asking price in Turkish.
Example: I bought two boxes of tea, how much is the total?
The pharmacist says 'Total is two hundred liras'.
In every shop and market, we can ask this question confidently.
A short and direct question.
Very easy to learn and always necessary!
Knowing the bill at the register always reassures a person.
We use this question very often when shopping.
Now let's move on to our sixth and last phrase.
Our sixth phrase: Kartla ödeyebilir miyim?
This question means, 'Can I pay by card?' in English.
When we have no cash with us, we ask this question.
The word 'kartla' means 'with a card'.
For credit card or bank card, we use the same pattern.
Example: No cash, can I pay by card?
The pharmacist says 'Of course, our card device is ready'.
In Turkey, cards are valid in almost all pharmacies.
I always prefer cards when shopping.
I sometimes like cash, but cards are really very fast.
We just tap the card and take our receipt.
Great! Now let's test these phrases with a fun quiz.
Situation one! You entered the pharmacy and your head hurts. What do you say to the pharmacist?
I smile and say: Baş ağrısı için ilaç istiyorum.
A wonderful start Emre! The pharmacist understood right away.
Situation two! You will ask whether they require paper from a doctor for the medicine. What do you say?
I ask right away: Reçete lazım mı?
Super Emre! A simple and clear question.
Situation three! You are traveling and looking for a small pack for your bag. What do you say?
I look at the shelf and ask: Küçük bir kutu var mı?
A very nice answer! We don't carry a large box.
Situation four! You bought the medicine and want to learn the instructions on the box. What do you ask?
I look at the box and ask: Bunu nasıl kullanıyorum?
Well done Emre! The pharmacist explained the information on the box.
Situation five! Shopping is finished and you want to learn the price at the register. What do you ask?
I prepare my wallet and ask: Toplam ne kadar?
Full points! The easiest way to ask the price.
Situation six! You don't have cash with you, you have a bank card. What do you ask?
I hold out my card and ask: Kartla ödeyebilir miyim?
Congratulations Emre! You answered all questions correctly.
Thanks Elif! These phrases are really very useful in daily life.
Now let's quickly review all these phrases.
We are reviewing together the six basic phrases we learned today.
First phrase: Baş ağrısı için ilaç istiyorum.
Second phrase: Reçete lazım mı?
Third phrase: Küçük bir kutu var mı?
Fourth phrase: Bunu nasıl kullanıyorum?
Fifth phrase: Toplam ne kadar?
Sixth phrase: Kartla ödeyebilir miyim?
We learned all six phrases wonderfully.
Now it's your turn my friend! Today's challenge is coming.
Now say out loud: Baş ağrısı için ilaç istiyorum.
Say it out loud once more!
You are wonderful! Practicing out loud speeds up learning.
