Full transcript
Mr. Zazai, before we finalise everything, I want to confirm your surgery at Liverpool Hospital is booked for Thursday morning at seven thirty.
ښه ښځې, زه پوهیږم چې پنجشنبه ورځ به عملیات وي, خو ایا ما ته اجازه ده چې مخکې یې يو څه وخورم؟
You'll need to stop eating by midnight, but you can still have clear fluids, like water, until five o'clock the following morning.
زه هره ورځ اسپرين خورم د زړه لپاره، ایا دا به د عملیات دمخه بند کړم؟
Do you currently take aspirin or any other blood thinners? You must stop taking aspirin five days before surgery unless your specialist says otherwise.
هو, زه یې هره سهار خورم. نو ایا نن ورځ يې بند کړم که سبا؟
Please stop the aspirin from today. I'll double-check with your surgeon, but generally five days is the minimum before this type of operation.
زه یو څه اندیښمن یم، آیا بې هوښه کول خطرناک دي زما لپاره چې زړه ناروغي لرم؟
The anaesthetist will speak with you beforehand and explain everything. General anaesthesia is very safe, and complications are rare for a procedure like yours.
ښه, نو وروسته له عملیاتو، ایا زما بیا کتنه ټاکل شوې ده؟
Yes, a follow-up appointment is already arranged for two weeks after your surgery at the outpatient clinic. We'll confirm the exact date before you go home.
ډېره مننه, دا ما ته ډاډ راکړ. زه به پنجشنبه ورځ سبا وخت مخکې دلته اوسم.
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The practice room on this site plays each segment at native speed, records you, and marks the information you transferred against the same categories examiners use — omissions, distortions, insertions — so you know where the marks went. Your first full dialogue is marked free.
