Transcript
- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Amharic with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Hey Lucas, you know what I realized? We've covered so many colors already — white, black, red, blue, green, yellow. Lucas: We sure have. But there are still some important ones missing. Today we're adding two more to your palette. Luna: Ooh, which ones? Lucas: Brown and pink. In Amharic, brown is ቡናማ. Say it with me: ቡናማ. Luna: ቡናማ. Lucas: Perfect. And pink is ሮዝ. Repeat: ሮዝ. Luna: ሮዝ. That one's easy — sounds like rose. Lucas: Exactly. And if Fexingo has been helping you make actual progress with this language, you know we keep this show ad-free. A handful of listeners chip in monthly through buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo, and that's literally what funds making this many of these. Luna: Yeah, it really helps keep the episodes coming. So, brown and pink — let's use them in simple sentences. Lucas: Right. To say 'this is brown', you say ይህ ቡናማ ነው. Let's break it down: ይህ means 'this', ቡናማ is 'brown', ነው is 'is'. Together: ይህ ቡናማ ነው. Luna: ይህ ቡናማ ነው. Lucas: Great. Now for pink: ይህ ሮዝ ነው — 'this is pink'. Try it. Luna: ይህ ሮዝ ነው. Lucas: Awesome. Let's add objects. 'Brown bag' is ቡናማ ቦርሳ. Say it. Luna: ቡናማ ቦርሳ. Lucas: And 'pink flower' is ሮዝ አበባ. Repeat. Luna: ሮዝ አበባ. Lucas: You're doing wonderfully. Now let's imagine a scene. You're at a market and you see a brown bag. You can say ይህ ቡናማ ቦርሳ ነው — 'this is a brown bag'. Luna: ይህ ቡናማ ቦርሳ ነው. Lucas: And if you see a pink flower: ይህ ሮዝ አበባ ነው. Luna: ይህ ሮዝ አበባ ነው. I can already picture buying some pink flowers. Lucas: Let's do a quick review. I'll say the English, you give the Amharic. Brown. Luna: ቡናማ. Lucas: Pink. Luna: ሮዝ. Lucas: This is brown. Luna: ይህ ቡናማ ነው. Lucas: This is pink. Luna: ይህ ሮዝ ነው. Lucas: Brown bag. Luna: ቡናማ ቦርሳ. Lucas: Pink flower. Luna: ሮዝ አበባ. Lucas: Perfect memory. Now let's hear those in a little dialogue. Imagine you're with a friend at a stall. You point to a pink flower and say ይህ ሮዝ አበባ ነው. Luna: ይህ ሮዝ አበባ ነው. Lucas: Your friend points to a brown bag and says ይህ ቡናማ ቦርሳ ነው. Luna: ይህ ቡናማ ቦርሳ ነው. Lucas: Excellent. And that's it for today. Practice ቡናማ and ሮዝ whenever you see those colors around you. Luna: I will. Thanks Lucas. Lucas: Thanks for learning with Fexingo. See you next time. Luna: Bye!
