Health and the body in Algerian Arabic

Nobody wants to learn this vocabulary and everybody eventually needs it. Being able to say clearly where it hurts, in a pharmacy or a doctor's waiting room, is worth the twenty minutes it takes to learn these.

Algerians usually say راني مريض for I am ill, and name the part of the body that hurts with يوجعني, it pains me, followed by the part. راسي يوجعني, my head hurts.
