Full transcript
Thank you for coming in today, Mrs Xasan. Before we start, can you tell me how Amina has managed her meals since our last appointment two weeks ago?
Waad mahadsantahay macallimad. Amina wali quraacdeeda ma cunto, waxaana socda ilaa toddobo maalmood oo ay ka gudubto habka cunidda. Waxaan arkaa inay noqotay mid daallan, waxaanan ka walaacsanahay miisaankeeda oo hoos u dhacay.
Has Amina mentioned feeling sick after eating, or made herself vomit? Her weight has dropped by one point five kilograms in two weeks, which concerns me.
Maya, iyadu wax matag ah ma samayso. Laakiin waxay diidaa qaar ka mid ah cuntooyinka, gaar ahaan kuwa sonkorta badan, haddii aanay ahayn mid aad u xanaaqsan.
That's helpful to know. I'll refer Amina to the Butterfly Foundation's support program, alongside our specialist team, unless her condition worsens before next Thursday.
Mahadsanid, taasi runtii waa wax wanaagsan. Ma jiro kharash aanan awoodi karin? Waxaan rabaa in aan si dhow ula socdo barnaamijkan si aan Amina ugu caawiyo sida ugu fiican.
There's no cost for this outpatient program at Liverpool Hospital. Please bring a food diary to our next appointment this Thursday at ten thirty.
Waan sameyn doonaa, mahadsanid. Ma waajib baa in ay had iyo jeer nala cunto, mise waqtiyada qaarkood ayay kali ahaan u cuni kartaa?
Eating together helps her feel supported, but it isn't compulsory for every meal. Some flexibility is fine, as long as she's eating regularly.
Waad mahadsantahay macallimad. Aniguna sidoo kale waan walaacsanahay, ee ma jirtaa taageero la siin karo waalidiinta sida aniga oo kale ah?
Yes, family counselling is available too. I'll refer you to our social worker, who can arrange a separate session for you.
Mahadsanid aad iyo aad. Waxaan ka faraxsanahay in la taageero anigaba iyo Aminaba, waanan ku imaan doonaa Khamiista soo socota, sida aad u sheegtay.

Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The free daily dialogue 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.
