Questions & Answers about אם יש לך כאב ראש, תשתי מים ותנוחי קצת.
That is exactly how Hebrew usually expresses possession.
- יש = there is / there are
- לך = to you (addressing one female or one male; the form is the same here)
So:
- יש לך כאב ראש = literally there is to you a headache
- Natural English: you have a headache
This is the normal Hebrew pattern for to have:
- יש לי זמן = I have time
- יש לנו שאלה = we have a question
The negative version is אין:
- אין לי זמן = I don’t have time
Hebrew often uses a construct phrase for combinations like this, where two nouns are linked directly.
- כאב = pain
- ראש = head
- כאב ראש = headache / literally head-pain
This is more natural than using של here.
Compare:
- כאב בטן = stomachache
- בית ספר = school, literally house of book
- כוס מים = a glass of water
So כאב ראש is just the normal Hebrew way to say headache.
