| Two people are having a conversation. |
| はるとくん、かおいろが わるいですね｡ どうしましたか｡ |
| Haruto-kun, kaoiro ga warui desu ne. Dō shimashita ka. |
| Haruto, you don’t look well. What’s wrong? |
| あたまが いたいです｡ おなかも いたいです｡ |
| Atama ga itai desu. Onaka mo itai desu. |
| My head hurts. My stomach hurts too. |
| ねつが ある？ |
| Netsu ga aru? |
| Do you have a fever? |
| In this line of dialogue, Haruto is describing what part of his body hurts. "あたま (atama)" is his head, and "おなか (onaka)" is his stomach. So, by saying the part of his body, followed by "が いたいです (ga itai desu)," he can say "[this part of my body] hurts." |
