Please help me with some basic phrases

[danhubik]

Hi - my dad is Ukrainian, but seeing as I was brought up in Australia, I am only fluent in English and know very little Ukrainian.

I am a medical student and would love to be able to communicate with the non-English speaking Ukrainian patients in hospital.

I was wondering if someone could help me with a few basic phrases in Ukrainian. They are:

- I can speak a little Ukrainian

- How are you feeling today?

- Please sit down/lie down/stand up

- Are you in pain? Where is it?

- Does that hurt?

- Please let me examine you

Thanks very much for any help you can give me!

Dan.
