A pharmacist offering painkillers.

“አዎ፣ እዚህ አንዳንድ የህመም ማስታገሻዎች አሉ። ለእነዚህ ማዘዣ አያስፈልግም።”

“Yes, here are some painkillers. You don’t need a prescription for these.”

“Thank you. How much do they cost?”

“They cost nine euros. But you should see a dentist.”

“If you need stronger medicine, you will need to get a prescription from your dentist or doctor.”

“አመሰግናለሁ! ደህና ሁኑ።”

“Thank you! Goodbye.”
