We'll learn red and blue in Amharic. Luna: Oh, colors are fun! Let me guess: red is... ቀይ? Lucas: Wow, you remembered from a previous episode? Yes, red is ቀይ. Say it with me: ቀይ. Luna: ቀይ. Lucas: Perfect! And blue is ሰማያዊ. Try that: ሰማያዊ. Luna: ሰማያዊ. That's a bit longer! So ሰማያዊ means blue. Lucas: Exactly. Now let's use them. Red apple is ቀይ ፖም. Repeat: ቀይ ፖም. Luna: ቀይ ፖም. Lucas: Great! And blue sky is ሰማያዊ ሰማይ. Say it: ሰማያዊ ሰማይ. Luna: ሰማያዊ ሰማይ. That's beautiful! So ሰማይ means sky, right? Lucas: Yes! You're catching on. Now let's make simple sentences. This is red: ይህ ቀይ ነው. Try it. Luna: ይህ ቀይ ነው. Lucas: Perfect. And this is blue: ይህ ሰማያዊ ነው. Your turn. Luna: ይህ ሰማያዊ ነው. Lucas, I love how ሰማያዊ sounds. It's like the sky itself. Lucas: Totally!
