In this topic, you will learn to write Arabic words for objects found in a hospital and actions that happen there. This will help you describe a hospital visit in Arabic.
Here are the main objects you will see in a hospital:
| Arabic (voweled) | Romanization | English |
|---|---|---|
| مُسْتَشْفى | mustashfā | hospital |
| سَرِير | sarīr | bed |
| طَبِيب | tabīb | doctor |
| مُمَرِّضَة | mumarrida | nurse |
| مَرِيض | marīd | patient |
| دَوَاء | dawāʾ | medicine |
| حُقْنَة | huqna | injection |
| مِيزَانُ الحَرَارَة | mīzānu al-ḥarāra | thermometer |
| صَيْدَلِيَّة | saydaliyya | pharmacy |
| غُرْفَةُ الْفَحْص | ghurfatu al-faḥṣ | examination room |
Here are common actions performed in a hospital:
| Arabic (voweled) | Romanization | English |
|---|---|---|
| يَفْحَصُ | yafḥaṣu | examines |
| يَقِيسُ | yaqīsu | measures |
| يَحْقِنُ | yaḥqinu | injects |
| يَعْطِي | yaʿṭī | gives |
| يَشْفَى | yashfā | recovers |
| يَذْهَبُ | yadhhabu | goes |
| يَجْلِسُ | yajlisu | sits |
| يَقِفُ | yaqifu | stands |
Here are two example sentences using this vocabulary:
Example 1:
الطَّبِيبُ يَفْحَصُ الْمَرِيضَ Al-ṭabību yafḥaṣu al-marīda The doctor examines the patient.
Example 2:
الْمُمَرِّضَةُ تَعْطِي الدَّوَاءَ لِلْمَرِيضِ Al-mumarridatu taʿṭī al-dawāʾa li-l-marīdi The nurse gives medicine to the patient.
To write correctly in Arabic, remember these points:
- Start from the right — Arabic is written from right to left.
- Connect the letters — most Arabic letters connect to the next letter.
- Add the vowels — short vowels (fatḥa, kasra, damma) are marks above or below the letters.
- Match the gender — use the feminine form (usually ends with َة / -a) for female doctors and nurses.
If you visit a hospital in Tanzania and meet a doctor from an Arabic-speaking country, you can now describe what you see. For example, you could say "هَلْ هُنَاكَ مُمَرِّضَةٌ؟" (Hal hunāka mumarridatun? — Is there a nurse here?) or "أُرِيدُ الدَّوَاءَ" (Urīdu al-dawāʾa — I want medicine). This helps you communicate in Arabic-speaking medical settings, which are sometimes found in Zanzibar or among Arabic-speaking health workers in Dar es Salaam.
