English term or phrase: My foot (leg) hurts / My hand (arm) hurts.

Hello / Barev

How do you say "My foot (leg) hurts / My hand (arm)hurts" in Armenian?

Some languages like Russian, Romanian, Albanian and Modern Greek use the same word for "foot" and "leg" and for "hand" and "arm." I don't know if Armenian does or not.

Thanks in advance for any help or information on this question.

Sincerely,

Brian Costello

In Armenian we use foot for -Ոտք, and leg for սրունք, and hand for ձեռք, arm for բազուկ, թև. However, in colloqual Armenian foot (leg) and hand (arm) for Ոտք and ձեռք are used.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Anahit, What would these words look like in Roman letters? My home computer is unable to transform Armenian letters so they will appear to me as just bars or squares. Thanks, Brian.
