Body parts in Spanish

Body-part vocabulary is more useful than it sounds: it's exactly what you need at the pharmacy or doctor, and for everyday descriptions. Here are the words worth knowing, head to toe, plus the one phrase that ties them together.

The head and face

The body and arms

The legs and feet

The phrase that ties it together: "me duele"

To say something hurts, use me duele (+ singular) or me duelen (+ plural), with the body part — and note Spanish uses the, not my:

• Me duele la cabeza. — My head hurts / I have a headache.
• Me duele el estómago. — My stomach hurts.
• Me duelen los pies. — My feet hurt.

At a pharmacy that one structure, plus a body part, gets you a long way.
