Transcript
- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Amharic with Fexingo! I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna! Episode 88 — can you believe it? Lucas: I know, right? We've come a long way. Today we're going to review something from last episode: body parts. Luna: Ooh, I remember. Arm and leg, right? ክንድ and እግር. Lucas: Exactly! Let's start with ክንድ. Repeat after me: ክንድ. Luna: ክንድ. Lucas: Good! Now, እግር. Luna: እግር. That one feels a bit harder. እግር. Lucas: You got it. Now let's make a sentence: ክንዴ ረጅም ነው — my arm is long. Luna: ክንዴ ረጅም ነው. So ክንዴ means 'my arm'? Lucas: Yes! Adding ኤ makes it 'my'. So ክንድ becomes ክንዴ. And እግር becomes እግሬ. Luna: እግሬ ረጅም ነው — my leg is long. I can say that! Lucas: Perfect. Now, what about saying 'my leg hurts'? እግሬ ይታመማል. Luna: እግሬ ይታመማል. That's useful if I run too much. Lucas: Exactly. Let's practice all three together. Repeat after me: ክንዴ ረጅም ነው. Luna: ክንዴ ረጅም ነው. Lucas: እግሬ ረጅም ነው. Luna: እግሬ ረጅም ነው. Lucas: እግሬ ይታመማል. Luna: እግሬ ይታመማል. This is sticking now! Lucas: Great. You know, if Fexingo has been helping you make real progress with Amharic, we'd love your support.

How do I say 'he has strong arms'? Lucas: Good question. ክንዶቹ ጠንካራ ናቸው — his arms are strong. Let's break that down. Luna: ክንዶቹ — that's 'his arms', right? Lucas: Exactly! ክንድ is arm, ክንዶች is arms, and ክንዶቹ is his arms. Then ጠንካራ ናቸው — are strong. Luna: ክንዶቹ ጠንካራ ናቸው. That's a mouthful, but I like it. Lucas: You'll get it with practice. Now let's try a quick scenario. Imagine you're at a market and someone asks about your leg. Luna: እግሬ ረጅም ነው! My leg is long. Lucas: There you go. And if it hurts? እግሬ ይታመማል. Luna: እግሬ ይታመማል. I hope that doesn't happen too often. Lucas: Alright, let's wrap up with a quick review. Repeat after me: ክንድ. Luna: ክንድ. Lucas: እግር. Luna: እግር. Lucas: ክንዴ ረጅም ነው. Luna: ክንዴ ረጅም ነው. Lucas: እግሬ ረጅም ነው. Luna: እግሬ ረጅም ነው. Lucas: እግሬ ይታመማል. Luna: እግሬ ይታመማል. Lucas: You did fantastic today. Practice these phrases, and we'll see you next time on Learn Amharic with Fexingo!
