Say what hurts
Say Labdien! Man sāp galva. (Hello! I have a headache.) Learn man sāp as a chunk rather than translating English “I have” word for word. These examples extend the video topic; they are not a word-for-word transcript.

How to ask for headache medicine in Latvian
For learners in Latvia who want one useful pharmacy phrase they can practice by voice.
Quick answer
Man sāp galva means “I have a headache”, literally “My head hurts”. Start with Labdien! (Hello), describe the problem, then listen. You do not need to name a medicine to begin the conversation with a pharmacist.
Practice goal
Practise describing the problem and asking for clarification. Never guess a medicine instruction you did not understand.
Key takeaways
- Labdien! = Hello / Good day.
- Man sāp galva. = I have a headache.
- Lūdzu, atkārtojiet. = Please repeat.

Keep the conversation understandable
If you cannot follow the reply, say Lūdzu, atkārtojiet. (Please repeat.) Practise pausing instead of saying yes automatically. This lesson teaches communication only: medicine selection, dosage, allergies and interactions belong with a qualified pharmacist or clinician.
03
A three-part speaking check
Without looking: 1. Greet the pharmacist. 2. Say you have a headache. 3. Ask them to repeat. In KeelAI, ask the Latvian tutor to check these three sentences and speak slowly. Do not ask the language exercise to recommend a treatment.
FAQ
What are the answers to the speaking check?
Labdien! Man sāp galva. Lūdzu, atkārtojiet. Say each sentence separately first, then practise the greeting and symptom together, followed by a pause for the other person.
Does this lesson tell me which medicine to take?
No. It is a language exercise, not medical advice. Ask a pharmacist or clinician about treatment and ask for clarification whenever you do not understand an instruction.
