Lesson X. El Dolor (Pain)

¿Qué te duele? (What is hurting?)

 

Two ways to talk about pain in Spanish:

 

     1. "Tengo dolor de..."

 

      2. "Me duele ..."

 

Tengo dolor de cabeza. (I have a head ache).

 

Me duele la cabeza. (My head is hurting).

 

Tengo dolor de estómago. (I have a stomach ache).

 

Me duele el estómago. (My stomach is hurting).

 

Tengo dolor de dientes. (I have a teeth ache).

 

Me duelen los dientes. (My teeth are hurting).

 

(I am emphasizing than "n", because since "dientes" is plural, the verb has to agree and be in plural too).
