Apr. 1, 2008 - Me duelen los oidos
Ok, I have been one of those MIA bloggers for over a week! Pues, es que me duelen los oídos. In other words, my ears hurt. But life goes on, and it occurred to me that you can still get sick while speaking Spanish, so why not offer an entry dealing with this favorite topic?
- Estoy enfermo/a - I am sick. Remember that -o is the masculine ending and -a is the feminine ending. By sheer genetics, I would say Estoy enferma.
- Está enfermo/a - He or she is sick. Once again, the masculine or feminine endings need to correspond.
- Me duele - something hurts me. Usually this is followed by a singular body part, such as: me duele el brazo, me duele la cabeza, me duele el ojo.
- Me duelen - same as above, but this time you use it with a plural body part, such as: me duelen las piernas, me duelen los pies.
Ok, vamos al médico (let's go to the doctor) and say what hurts....
Practice with these formulas: Me duele ___________ or Me duelen ________
- los pies - the feet
- el brazo - the arm
- los ojos - the eyes
- el oído - the ear (internal)
- la oreja - the ear (external)
- el estómago - the stomach
- la rodialla - the knee
- el diente - the tooth
- las piernas - the legs
**Good questions! An HSB friend asked me how we say: I hope you're feeling better soon. That would be: ¡Espero que te repongas pronto! And thanks for the well wishes!
Her other question is about this: ñ¡¿áéíóú You can teach your keyboard to speak Spanish too.

Como se dice en espanol, "Feel better soon!!!" How do I make the tilde and the upside down question mark on the computer?
