So you might need to say: jag har ont i halsen (literally "I have pain in the throat", but more accurately translated as "I have a sore throat"), jag har ont i magen ("I have a stomachache"), or jag har ont i ryggen ("I have back pain/my back hurts"). This can be used with a body part as the subject of the verb, for example halsen gör ont ("the throat makes pain", or "my throat hurts"), kärleken gör ont ("love hurts"), or the subject might be the thing causing the pain. You might hear someone say they have ont on tid (lack of time), ont om pengar (lack of money) or ont om vatten (lack of water).
