SICKNESS vocabulary! Learn English!

this week we're doing Cygnus vocabulary [Music] remember to follow me on Instagram Twitter and Facebook at Papa teach me recently I got sick now did I have a cold or did I have the flu both put you in bed and out of work for a few days maybe a week but there is a difference with a cold usually it's a few days it hits you fast and it leaves in a few days the flu however it's the longer one it's the more serious one usually it's like a week where you're in bed you're sweating you have a fever everything's terrible and you also might hear the expression man flu what's man flu this comes from the stereotype that men handle colds much worse than women do we complain a lot more we exaggerate the symptoms a lot more usually I don't like to promote stereotypes but in this case this is me when I have a cold goodbye mother you've always been good to me tell everyone I love them I'm dying now so if you know a guy who's like this exaggerate a cold you can say you've just got man flu have some water and a sleep you'll be fine and these are some ways you can say I'm sick so two very common ways to say I'm sick are I'm sick or I'm ill both mean you have a cold the flu whatever but there is a very British way of saying that and that's I'm poorly Americans Canadians probably Australians too they don't use I'm poorly British people we do other expressions are I'm a little bit under the weather that just means it's normal you have a cold you have the flu whatever but if you want to be really dramatic about it and who doesn't want to do that you can say these I'm sick as a dog I feel like death warmed up mate I feel like or if you want to be super dramatic I'm at death's door when you're very sick say that one I'm at death's or so when I'm ill and I don't know whether it's because I was ill recently or maybe I'm just fat now my face does this in that situation you say my face is puffy so not only when you're sick but if you wake up too early and your face is like like a little chubby hamster you can say my face is puffy puffy is the adjective to mean like a little fat hamster a puffy face is a symptom a sign of being ill what are some other symptoms when your nose is doing this thing with green stuff you would say my nose is runny or I have a runny nose and if you have a runny nose probably you can't breathe either in that case you say my nose is blocked or stuffy or bummed up those are quite neutral expressions they're not formal expressions a formal expression is congested may dose is very congested you don't say that to friends you would say that to your doctor or the pharmacist hey pharmacist I need some medicine or medicine do you need I don't know my nose is congested I have congestion so pronunciation repeat these with me my nose is runny my nose is blocked my nose is stuffy for this one you commonly you wouldn't say my nose is bum dub you would say I'm all bummed up hello why do you sound weird I'm all bummed up that's how we would say it usually and the last one congested but remember you can say I have a runny nose I have a blocked nose I have a stuffy nose I have a bummed up nose again not very common I'm all burned up also a really common mistake I hear I think it's maybe only Spanish but in Spanish you say I have mucus which in English sounds so gross do you have a cold yes I have mucus so yes you do have mucus but don't say it in English it sounds really gross and say one of these instead other things which happen with your nose maybe if you chew that is called a sneeze and when someone sneezes it's very common for the other person to say bless you or god bless you now this is like Christmas in England it really doesn't have anything to do with religion it's just a polite thing to say when someone sneezes and the pronunciation is like this not bless you need you connect the words with a sound bless you bless you say it with me bless you or god bless you also about the mucous thing yes this is called mucous but that is what you say to your doctor or your pharmacist but informally we call it snot it sounds gross and it is gross but the word is snot informally so if you're with other people and you need to get rid of this hmm I'm not gonna actually do it now cuz that's gross that sound was sexy though you can say I need to blow my nose moving down from the nose takes us to the throat I know this is a difficult word to pronounce so let's practice throat throat first get the sound then bring your tongue down and back for the throat throat in faster throat throat so if your throat is red and it really hurts to swallow or eat food you have a sore throat your throat is sore sore just means it hurts and often with a sore throat you might have a a cough if you have a sore throat and a cough probably your voice sound like this and if your voice sounds like this you say my voice is hoarse yes the same pronunciation as horse horse your voice is hoarse same pronunciation different spelling if your head is like boom-boom-boom you say I've got a headache headache the pronunciation mistake I hear with this is head h it's not that it's headache imagine it's like a k headache now not only your head but maybe all over your body if it hurts just everywhere then you would say I feel achy again this just means it hurts everywhere in your muscles joints may be everywhere hurts if you feel like this you just want to sleep all the time in this case you feel tired be careful of the pronunciation it's not tie-red new it's tired tired say it with me tired usually from illness or stress you work too much it's common to say I feel rundown I feel very rundown and the more formal version you would say to your doctor I feel fatigued these are not informal they're all fine but this one is the medical term for this moving further down the body now if the problem is in this area your tummy or your stomach you would say I've got a tummy ache or I've got a stomach ache no tummy ache is what kids say or if you really want sympathy you might say Oh God tummy ache make me some soup but as adults we say I've got a stomach ache pronunciation is kind of easy stomachache stomachache I've got a stomach ache a stomach ache might lead to this is a fart butt is a verb it's also a noun this is a fart and he just farted it's a regular verb if you're poo is purple definitely go see a doctor but if you have a stomachache and your poo is like water this is called I've got diarrhea there are two spellings for this that's the American one that's the English one but it doesn't really matter everyone uses this one anyway it's fine when was the last time you had diarrhea let me know in the comments the final symptoms involve this your temperature is very very high you're in bed and water is coming out of you from everywhere first of all the water that's coming out of your head is called sweat that's a verb and a noun you can say this like I'm sweaty that's an adjective I'm really sweaty use it like a verb I'm sweating so much and to talk about this the high temperature you'd say I've got a fever I've got a fever I'm sweaty and gross if your friend is ill you want to ask do you have medicine are you eating medicine that's not the question to ask we don't say to eat a pill or to eat medicine we say to take medicine to take a pill so the question should be are you're ill that sucks you taking anything and your answer should be yeah I'm taking aspirin very simple I'm taking name of medicine I'm taking ibuprofen I'm taking paracetamol I'm taking aspirin if you have a medicine which lasts like a week you have to take one pill every day you would say I'm on name of medicine for example I'm on antibiotics let me know your experiences with colds or the flu in the comments below tell
