- Lucas: Hey Luna, welcome back to Learn Amharic with Fexingo. Luna: Oh, thanks Lucas. It's good to be here again. Lucas: Yeah, totally. Last time we covered 'nice to meet you' phrases, which was fun. Luna: Right, and I've been practicing those a bit. Lucas: That's great. Today, we're keeping it super tiny — just five little words. Luna: Oh, perfect. I'm ready. Lucas: We're learning numbers one through five in Amharic. Super useful for counting things, like pastries or people. Luna: Oh, I love that. Counting pastries sounds like my kind of lesson. Lucas: Exactly. Let's start with number one. It's አንድ. Luna: አንድ. Lucas: Yeah, that's it. አንድ means one. Luna: አንድ. Okay, got it. Lucas: Now number two is ሁለት. Luna: ሁለት. Lucas: Right. ሁለት means two. Luna: ሁለት. That one feels smooth. Lucas: It does. Number three is ሶስት. Luna: ሶስት. Lucas: Exactly. ሶስት means three. Luna: ሶስት. I like how that sounds. Lucas: Me too. Number four is አራት. Luna: አራት. Lucas: Yep. አራት means four. Luna: አራት. Okay. Lucas: And number five is አምስት. Luna: አምስት. Lucas: That's it. አምስት means five. Luna: አምስት. So we have አንድ, ሁለት, ሶስት, አራት, አምስት. Lucas: Oh, wow — you said them all. That's so good. Luna: Thanks. Let me try again slowly. አንድ... ሁለት... ሶስት... አራት... አምስት. Lucas: Perfect. Now, let's use them in a tiny scene. Imagine we're at a bakery, and I'm pointing at pastries. Luna: Oh, I'm imagining it. Go ahead. Lucas: አንድ ኬክ — one cake. Luna: አንድ ኬክ. Lucas: ሁለት ቦርሳ — two bread rolls. Luna: ሁለት ቦርሳ. Lucas: ሶስት ቂጣ — three cookies. Luna: ሶስት ቂጣ. Lucas: አራት ዶናት — four donuts. Luna: አራት ዶናት. Oh, that's a lot of sweets. Lucas: And አምስት ካፒ — five coffees. Luna: አምስት ካፒ. Wait, five coffees? Are you serious? Lucas: Sure, for a group. But yeah, that's the idea. You try counting something now. Luna: Okay, let me think... አንድ ሰው — one person. Lucas: Right. Luna: ሁለት ሰዎች — two people. Lucas: Exactly. Luna: ሶስት ሰዎች — three people. Lucas: Yep. Luna: አራት ሰዎች — four people. Lucas: Totally. Luna: And አምስት ሰዎች — five people. Lucas: There you go. You're nailing it. Luna: Thanks. This feels useful, like for a small gathering. Lucas: Absolutely. Let's do a quick recap. I'll say the number in English, you say it in Amharic. Luna: Okay, I'm ready. Lucas: One. Luna: አንድ. Lucas: Two. Luna: ሁለት. Lucas: Three. Luna: ሶስት. Lucas: Four. Luna: አራት. Lucas: Five. Luna: አምስት. Lucas: Perfect. All five. Luna: Oh, that's so good. I love how these sound together. Lucas: Me too. And remember, with Fexingo, we keep it tiny so you can really hold onto these. Luna: Yeah, it works. I feel like I can use these already. Lucas: That's the goal. Practice counting things around you — books, steps, whatever. Luna: Will do. Thanks Lucas. Lucas: Of course. Thanks for learning with us today. See you next time on Learn Amharic with Fexingo. Luna: Bye for now.
