Sabah Al-Khair,

Last 2 days I had a terrible flu and now Thanks God I am almost cured, so let’s speak today about some medical related words.

Words:
Mashfa = Mustashfa = Hospital
Saydaleya = Pharmacy
Tabeeb / Hakeem / Doctor = Doctor
Saydaly = Pharmacist
Dawa = Medicine

Quiz
1- How can we say “Where is the nearest pharmacy?” in Arabic? – plz use English letters –
2- What is the English Translation of “Khoz Haza al-dawa Marratain bel-yom”

Have a healthy day :)

Khaal: aqrab wahda = "nearest one"

so in our example "nearest pharmacy"

similarly we can say

aqrab masjid = nearest mosque

aqrab kaneesa = nearest church

and so on
