Lesson Transcript

Hey guys! This is Selin, and welcome to Turkish Weekly Words!

As usual, I don't know the topic, it's a big surprise for me too. Let's find out together.

Medicine, ilaç.

Oh, I wonder what kind of words there are.

By the way, in Turkish, we don't say "taking medicine," we say içmek, we use the içmek verb, and it means "drinking." So we say "drinking medicine."

1. antibiyotik "antibiotic"

Çocukken çok fazla antibiyotik içtim. "When I was a child, I took antibiotic a lot."

2. soğuk algınlığı ilacı "cold medicine"

If you just go to a pharmacy and if you say "Oh, I got a cold, do you have any cold medicine?"

Soğuk algınlığı ilacınız var mı? "Do you have cold medicine?"

Or you can use "do you have medicine for cold?"

Soğuk algınlığı ilacınız var mı?

3. öksürük şurubu "cough syrup"

Let's say, "cough syrups have a very sour taste."

Öksürük şurubunun çok ekşi bir tadı vardır.

4. aşı "vaccine"

Aşılar sizi bir çok virüsten korur. "Vaccines protect you from many viruses."

5. ağrı kesici "painkiller"

Kesmek means, basically, "killing it," "cutting," or "to kill." Kesmek.

Ağrı is like, "pain," "hurt."

Ağrı kesici is like "painkiller"

I like painkiller so much, they are life savior. No, I don't recommend, of course.
