- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Amharic with Fexingo, everyone. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. We're picking up right where we left off. Last time we were at home learning rooms. Lucas: Right. But today, let's go out. We're going to a café. You know, to get coffee. Luna: Oh, I love coffee. I mean, who doesn't? Let's learn how to order one in Amharic. Lucas: Perfect. The word for coffee is ቡና. Luna: ቡና. Lucas: ቡና. Try it once more. Luna: ቡና. Lucas: Yes. Now, if you want to say 'I want coffee', you say ቡና እፈልጋለሁ. Luna: ቡና እፈልጋለሁ. That sounds great. Lucas: Say it with me: ቡና እፈልጋለሁ. Luna: ቡና እፈልጋለሁ. Lucas: Now, let's add milk and sugar. Milk is ወተት. Luna: ወተት. Lucas: And sugar is ስኳር. Luna: ስኳር. Lucas: Now, if you want to ask 'Do you have milk?', you say ወተት አለህ? Luna: ወተት አለህ? Lucas: And 'Do you have sugar?' is ስኳር አለህ? Luna: ስኳር አለህ? Lucas: Now let's put it all in a little scene. Imagine you're at a café. You walk up to the counter and say ቡና እፈልጋለሁ. Luna: ቡና እፈልጋለሁ. Lucas: Then the server might ask if you want milk or sugar. You can ask ወተት አለህ? or ስኳር አለህ? Luna: ወተት አለህ? ስኳር አለህ? Lucas: Yeah. That covers the basics. Let's practice a bit more. Say ቡና እፈልጋለሁ again. Luna: ቡና እፈልጋለሁ. Lucas: Good. And remember, in Ethiopia, coffee is a big deal. So these phrases will be useful. Luna: Totally. I love that coffee culture is so rich there.

Luna: ቡና እፈልጋለሁ. Lucas: And I'll ask you ወተት አለህ? Luna: አዎ፣ ወተት አለኝ. Lucas: Oh, nice. You used 'yes, I have milk'. That's from a previous episode, right? Luna: Yeah, we learned አዎ፣ አለኝ for 'yes, I have'. Lucas: Perfect. Now, let's review today's phrases one more time. ቡና. Luna: ቡና. Lucas: ወተት. Luna: ወተት. Lucas: ስኳር. Luna: ስኳር. Lucas: ቡና እፈልጋለሁ.
