| Health - Shyam, Lindsay, Lassi, Can we see if we can collectively come up with health-related vocabulary? I would really appreciate help in this. I'll post questions of a general interview (modified of course by responses) and I would like to generate possible responses as well as translations of the questions with your help. I think something like this will apply in general life too, not just for a health professional, because we all look out for each other's health in some way all the time. What do you think? Can you help? | |
| Shyam | Saturday 10th of December 2005 12:33:25 PM |
| - Sure Sure we can! Sounds like a great idea! | |
| Lindsay | Saturday 10th of December 2005 02:51:39 PM |
| - I tried to post this earlier, but it didn't work for some reason. Anyway it sounds good to me! We could all probably learn quite a bit from it. I'll try my best~ :) | |

| - La, ramro! I am going to post a list of questions and we can work on translating them., thīk? | |
| Anya | Sunday 11th of December 2005 06:24:51 AM |
| - We don't have to do a word-for-word translation, but instead trying to approximate the most comprehensible form of the question. So let's replace the English in this posts with Nepali in future posts, and maybe Shyam can recommend better ways to word these questions. Even if you don't know how to ask the whole question, maybe we can contribute individual vocabularly words to put everything together? 1. How is your health in general? 2. Do you have any pain? 3. Have you had any problems with your vision? 4. Are you able to see during dusk or in a dark room? 5. Are you able to close your eyes tightly? 6.

Can you turn your head to the side? and the other side? 20. Could you please shrug your shoulders? 21. I would like to check the muscles in your arms. Let me see your right hand? your left hand? 22. Could you push against my palm? 23. Don't let me push your palms. 24. Put your hands on your lap. 25. Can you do this? (showing how to rotate palms, it's a test of cerebellar function). 26. Push against my hands, don't let me push. (testing leg muscles). 27. Can you feel this? 28. Is this the same as this (that)? 29. Now, I would like to check your vision. 30. I need to dim the light so that I could see better. 31. Please look straight ahead. 32. I will be shining a light in your eye to see how it is doing. -- akhamā = in eye? 33.
