You're getting the hang of it. Today, let's learn two more fruits: watermelon and lemon. Luna: Ooh, perfect for summer! What's watermelon in Amharic? Lucas: Watermelon is ሐብሐብ. Say it with me: ሐብሐብ. Luna: ሐብሐብ. That's fun to say! ሐብሐብ. Lucas: Great! And lemon is ሎሚ. Try it: ሎሚ. Luna: ሎሚ. Sounds like 'lemon' but sweeter. Lucas: Now, let's say 'I want watermelon'. Remember 'I want' is እፈልጋለሁ. So: ሐብሐብ እፈልጋለሁ. Luna: ሐብሐብ እፈልጋለሁ. I want watermelon. That's easy! Lucas: And 'I want lemon': ሎሚ እፈልጋለሁ. Luna: ሎሚ እፈልጋለሁ. Perfect for lemonade on a hot day. Lucas: Also, you can say 'this is a watermelon': ይህ ሐብሐብ ነው. Luna: ይህ ሐብሐብ ነው. Can I use that at the market? Lucas: Absolutely. And 'this is a lemon': ይህ ሎሚ ነው. Luna: ይህ ሎሚ ነው. I can point and say that. Lucas: Let's practice together. I'll say the English, you say the Amharic. Watermelon. Luna: ሐብሐብ. Lucas: Lemon. Luna: ሎሚ. Lucas: I want watermelon. Luna: ሐብሐብ እፈልጋለሁ.
