At the doctor's (gøre ondt, feberen, bestille tid)

What is wrong?

Illnesses are mostly said with have and a bare noun:

DanishEnglish
feberenthe fever
hovedpinenthe headache
influenzaenthe flu
I have a fever.
Jeg har feber.
He has the flu.
Han har influenza.

It hurts

gøre ondt is to hurt. In a question the subject goes between the two parts:

Does it hurt here?
Gør det ondt her?

Booking a time

At the doctor's you bestille tid — order a time:

I would like to make an appointment tomorrow.
Jeg vil gerne bestille tid i morgen.

And when all is well, it is i orden: Er alt i orden? slå is to hit: Han slog sin arm.
