پرستار گفت که اگر درد شکم هم داری، باید زود به دکتر بگویی.

گفت is the past tense of گفتن (to say / to tell), so it means said.

• پرستار گفت = The nurse said
• This sets up reported speech: someone said something, and then the rest of the sentence gives what they said.

So the structure is:

• پرستار گفت = The nurse said
• که ... = that ...

Here که means that and introduces the content of what was said.

• پرستار گفت که ... = The nurse said that ...

In Persian, که is very commonly used after verbs like:

• گفتن = to say
• فکر کردن = to think
• دانستن = to know

Sometimes in casual speech, که can be omitted, but in a sentence like this it is very natural to include it.

اگر means if.

So:

• اگر درد شکم هم داری = if you also have stomach pain

This is the conditional part of the sentence. Persian often builds this kind of sentence very similarly to English:

• اگر ... ، باید ...
• If ... , should ...

داری is the second-person singular informal form of داشتن (to have).

• دارم = I have
• داری = you have (singular, informal)
• دارد = he/she has
• داریم = we have
• دارید = you have (plural or formal singular)
• دارند = they have

So the sentence is speaking to one person informally.

If you wanted to make it formal, you would say:

• اگر درد شکم هم دارید، باید زود به دکتر بگویید.

Also, there is no question mark because this is not a question. It is a statement: if you have...

درد شکم means stomach pain or stomachache.

• درد = pain
• شکم = stomach / abdomen / belly

Literally, it is something like pain of the stomach.

This is a very common Persian noun combination.

There actually is an ezafe in pronunciation, but it usually is not written in normal Persian spelling.

So درد شکم is pronounced roughly like:

• dard-e shekam

That -e links the two nouns:

• دردِ شکم = pain of the stomach

In everyday writing, short vowels are usually not written, so you normally just see:

• درد شکم

This is very common in Persian, and learners often have to mentally supply the ezafe from context.

هم usually means also / too / as well.

In this sentence:

• اگر درد شکم هم داری

it means something like:

• if you also have stomach pain
• if you have stomach pain too

The exact nuance depends on context. It may suggest that the person has some other symptom already, and stomach pain is an additional symptom.

In Persian, هم often comes right after the word or phrase it is emphasizing.

So:

• درد شکم هم داری

literally feels like:

• stomach pain too you have

Natural English:

• you also have stomach pain
• you have stomach pain too

Its position can be a little flexible in Persian, but placing it after the thing being added is very common.

باید means must / should / have to.

After باید, Persian commonly uses a verb in the subjunctive-looking form with بـ:

• بگویم
• بگویی
• بگوید etc.

So:

• باید بگویی = you should say / you should tell

This is a very common pattern:

• باید بروم = I should go
• باید بخوانی = you should read
• باید بگویی = you should say/tell

Because after باید, Persian normally uses the verb with the subjunctive prefix بـ.

So:

• بگویی = the form expected after باید
• می‌گویی = you say / you are saying, which would not fit here

Compare:

• تو می‌گویی = you say
• تو باید بگویی = you should say

So the بـ is important here.

This comes from the present stem of گفتن.

Persian verbs often have:

• a past stem
• a present stem

For گفتن:

• past stem: گفت
• present stem: گوی

Then Persian adds endings:

• گویم
• گویی
• گوید

And with the subjunctive prefix بـ:

• بگویم
• بگویی
• بگوید

So بگویی is built from the present stem گوی plus the subjunctive prefix بـ and the you singular ending.

With گفتن when you mean tell someone, Persian often uses به before the person.

• به دکتر بگویی = tell the doctor

Literally, it is closer to:

• say to the doctor

This is a very normal Persian pattern:

• به من گفت = he/she told me
• به او بگو = tell him/her
• به دکتر بگویی = you should tell the doctor

So even though English often says just tell the doctor, Persian usually uses به.

زود can mean soon, early, or quickly, depending on context.

In this sentence, the most natural meaning is:

• soon
• promptly
• without delay

So:

• باید زود به دکتر بگویی = you should tell the doctor soon

It does not mainly mean that you should speak fast; it means you should not wait.

Persian usually prefers Subject–Object–Verb order, with the verb at or near the end.

Here is the rough structure:

• پرستار = subject
• گفت = verb
• که اگر درد شکم هم داری = subordinate clause
• باید زود به دکتر بگویی = main reported message

Inside the last part:

• به دکتر = to the doctor
• بگویی = tell

So Persian naturally puts the verb later than English does.

English:

• you should tell the doctor soon

Persian:

• you should soon to the doctor tell

That sounds strange in English, but it is normal in Persian.

It is informal singular, because of:

• داری
• بگویی

These forms are used when speaking to one person informally.

A more formal version would be:

• پرستار گفت که اگر درد شکم هم دارید، باید زود به دکتر بگویید.

So this is the kind of sentence you might use with a friend, a child, or someone you are addressing informally.

Yes, in everyday spoken Persian, many speakers would say بگی instead of بگویی.

• بگویی = more standard / careful / written-style
• بگی = very common in speech

So in conversation, you might hear:

• پرستار گفت که اگر درد شکم هم داری، باید زود به دکتر بگی.

Both are correct in the right context, but بگویی is a bit more standard-looking.

In normal context, it means you also have stomach pain or you have stomach pain too.

The word هم can sometimes have slightly different shades depending on context, but here the most natural reading is simply that stomach pain is an additional symptom.

So if someone already mentioned another symptom, this could mean:

• If you also have stomach pain, you should tell the doctor soon.

That is the most likely interpretation.

The comma separates the if-clause from the main clause:

• اگر درد شکم هم داری، باید زود به دکتر بگویی.

This is similar to English:

• If you also have stomach pain, you should tell the doctor soon.

In Persian punctuation, commas are often used this way to make the sentence easier to read. In less careful writing, people may omit it, but here it is helpful and natural.

Not exactly as written. As written, it is reported speech:

• پرستار گفت که ... = The nurse said that ...

If you wanted direct speech, you would normally present the nurse’s actual words more directly, often with punctuation like a colon or quotation marks, for example:

• پرستار گفت: اگر درد شکم هم داری، باید زود به دکتر بگویی.

That means:

• The nurse said: If you also have stomach pain, you should tell the doctor soon.

So the original sentence is the indirect/reported version.
