Describe the problem and how long it has lasted, mention medicines and allergies, and ask for a clear explanation. Daulet is the patient; Aigul is the doctor.
How the language works
In tamağym, -ym means “my”: tamaq + -ym → tamağym, with final q changing to ğ. Ekı künnen berı means “for two days”: -nen + berı marks a period continuing up to now. Auyryp jür describes an ongoing or recurring condition; auyrdy refers to the past. Därıge allergiam bar means “I am allergic to a medicine”: därı + -ge. If you do not know the cause or medicine name, say so: Bılmeimın — “I do not know”; Atyn bılmeimın — “I do not know its name”.

Check your understanding
Choose an answer before opening the explanation. Then explain your choice.
1. How do you ask a patient when the symptoms started?
- Būl qanşa tūrady?
- Būl qaida satylady?
- Būl qaşan bastaldy?
- Būl kımnıñ qūjaty?
Answer and explanation
Būl qaşan bastaldy?
Qaşan asks about time; bastaldy means “started”. This is not a question about price, where something is sold or who owns a document.
2. The patient says Bügın ölşegen joqpyn. What can you conclude about today’s temperature?
- Bügın qyzuy qalypty.
- Bügın qyzuyn ölşemegen.
- Bügın qyzuy köterılgen.
- Bügın qyzuy tömendegen.
Answer and explanation
Bügın qyzuyn ölşemegen.
The patient has not measured their temperature today. This does not tell us whether it is normal, high or low.
3. You did not understand the doctor’s explanation. How do you ask for a simpler explanation?
- Qarapaiym sözdermen tüsındırıp berıñızşı.
- Menıñ osy därıge allergiam bar.
- Ekı künnen berı tamağym auyryp jür.
- Qyzuym köterıldı.
Answer and explanation
Qarapaiym sözdermen tüsındırıp berıñızşı.
Qarapaiym sözdermen means “in simple terms”; tüsındırıp berıñızşı politely asks for an explanation. Statements about symptoms do not make that request.
