- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Amharic with Fexingo. I am Lucas. Luna: And I am Luna. Hey everyone. We are back. Lucas: Yes. We have been talking about many things lately. Food. Weather. Family. Luna: Right. And we learned the days of the week last time. Lucas: Exactly. So today, let us look at something visual. Luna: Visual things? Like colors? Lucas: Yes. Colors. Specifically, three new colors. Luna: Okay. I know red. ቀይ. And blue. ሰማያዊ. Lucas: Good. You remember those well. Today we add purple. Luna: Purple. Okay. What is that word? Lucas: The word is ቀይላማ. Luna: ቀይላማ. Lucas: Let us say it slowly. ቀይላማ. Luna: ቀይላማ. Lucas: Nice. It means purple. Think of a grape. Or an eggplant. Luna: Oh, I like that. An eggplant is definitely purple. Lucas: Exactly. Let us try it again together. ቀይላማ. Luna: ቀይላማ. Lucas: Perfect. That was easy. Now, what is the next color? Luna: Is it green? አረንጓዴ? Lucas: No. Not green. Think of the sun at sunset. Or an orange fruit. Luna: Oh. Orange. Okay. Lucas: The word for orange is ክራም. Luna: ክራም. Lucas: Say it slowly. ክራም. Luna: ክራም. Lucas: Good. It sounds like 'kram'. Just one syllable. Very clean. Luna: It feels short. Like a quick snap. Lucas: Yes. Exactly. Let us practice. ክራም. Luna: ክራም. Lucas: Very good. One more color left. This one is common. Luna: Is it black? ጥቁር? Lucas: No. Black is dark. This is lighter. Think of clouds. Or concrete. Luna: Grey. Okay. I think I know this one. Lucas: The word is ግራ. Luna: ግራ. Lucas: Slowly. ግራ. Luna: ግራ. Lucas: Great. It means grey. Like a storm cloud before rain. Luna: I can picture that. Storm clouds are usually grey. Lucas: Yes. Let us repeat it. ግራ. Luna: ግራ. Lucas: Okay. We have three new words now. ቀይላማ. ክራም. And ግራ. Luna: That is a nice set. Purple. Orange. Grey. Lucas: Let us put them in sentences. Imagine a shirt. Luna: A purple shirt. ሸርብል ቀይላማ. Lucas: Yes. A purple shirt. ሸርብል ቀይላማ. Luna: It looks cool. Like a fancy outfit. Lucas: It does. Now, imagine an orange fruit on the table. Luna: An orange fruit. ፍሬ ክራም. Lucas: Correct. ፍሬ ክራም. Bright and fresh. Luna: I want that fruit right now. Lucas: Maybe later. Now, look outside. Luna: What do I see? Lucas: You see grey sky. ግራ ጠፈር. Luna: ግራ ጠፈር. Yes. It is raining a little bit. Lucas: Perfect. You are using them naturally. Let us review quickly. Luna: Okay. Purple is... ቀይላማ. Lucas: Yes. Orange is... ክራም. Luna: And grey is... ግራ. Lucas: Spot on. You are remembering them fast. Luna: It helps that they are distinct sounds. Lucas: They are. ቀይላማ has flow. ክራም is sharp. ግራ is soft. Luna: I like that description. Sharp and soft. Lucas: Yes. Language is music too. Luna: True. So, if I see a purple bag, I say...? Lucas: Bag is ባግ. So, ባግ ቀይላማ. Luna: ባግ ቀይላማ. Got it. Lucas: If I see a grey car, I say...? Luna: Car is ሞተር ሳይክል? No, that is motorcycle. Car is መስመር? Lucas: No. Car is ቢሉ. So, ቢሉ ግራ. Luna: ቢሉ ግራ. Okay. I will remember that. Lucas: Good. Practice makes perfect. Luna: It really does. I feel more confident with colors now. Lucas: You should be. You learned them in minutes. Luna: Thanks, Lucas. This was fun. Lucas: Me too. Before we go, I have a small request. Luna: Oh no. What is it? Lucas: Just a note about support. If these episodes help you learn... Luna: Yeah? Lucas: consider buying me a coffee dot com slash fexingo. Luna: Ah, okay. Lucas: Even a small amount keeps the show running ad-free. Luna: That makes sense. It supports the learning directly. Lucas: Exactly. Thank you for listening to us. Luna: See you next time. Lucas: Bye.
