Where is a doctor?

le mikce cu zvati ma (seems kind of formal. Maybe for quick questions, just mikce vi ma? and so on for others here)

Where is a hospital?

le spita cu zvati ma

Where is a nearby pharmacy?

le vi zarci be le velmicyxu'i cu zvati ma

It hurts here

cortu ti

My head is too hot.

le stedu be mi cu kelvo du'eda

I am sick

mi bilma

I have a stomach ache

mi cortu le betfu

Do I need doctor's permission to use this medicine?

xu mi nitcu le nu le mikce ku curmi kei le nu mi pilno le velmicyxu'i

I've caught a cold.

mi lenku fi le pevylekybi'a

• pevylekybi'a isn't a cold, it's someone with a cold. The word would have to be pevlekterbi'a. Perhaps the whole sentence could instead be mi pevylekybi'a.
• AARGH! vaxybi'a please.
  • Right, that's a better word. So the phrasebook is wrong on two counts.
