Latest / Learn Amharic with Fexingo / Amharic Time: Yesterday & Today
Transcript
- Lucas: Hey Luna, ready for another episode of Learn Amharic with Fexingo? Luna: Absolutely! I'm excited. What are we learning today? Lucas: We're going to talk about time — specifically, how to say 'yesterday' and 'the day after tomorrow' in Amharic. Luna: Oh, great! We already know 'today' and 'tomorrow' from before. Now we're adding more flexibility. Lucas: Exactly. So, 'yesterday' in Amharic is ትላንትና. Luna: ትላንትና. Lucas: Perfect. And 'the day after tomorrow' is ከነገ ወዲያ. Luna: ከነገ ወዲያ. That's a mouthful! Lucas: It is, but you'll get it. Let's practice with days. We know Monday is ሰኞ, Tuesday is ማክሰኞ, Wednesday is ረቡዕ. So, 'yesterday was Monday' — ትላንትና ሰኞ ነበር. Luna: ትላንትና ሰኞ ነበር. Lucas: Good. Now, if today is Tuesday, we say ዛሬ ማክሰኞ ነው. Luna: ዛሬ ማክሰኞ ነው. So that means 'today is Tuesday'. Lucas: Right. And 'the day after tomorrow is Wednesday' — ከነገ ወዲያ ረቡዕ ነው. Luna: ከነገ ወዲያ ረቡዕ ነው. Lucas: You're nailing it! Let's try a mini dialogue. Suppose someone asks you, 'What day is today?' — ዛሬ ምን ቀን ነው? Luna: I remember that! And I'd say, ዛሬ ማክሰኞ ነው. Lucas: Perfect. Then they might ask, 'What about yesterday?' — ትላንትናስ? Luna: ትላንትና ሰኞ ነበር. Lucas: And if they ask about the day after tomorrow — ከነገ ወዲያስ? Luna: ከነገ ወዲያ ረቡዕ ነው. Lucas: You're a natural! One more time: 'yesterday' is ትላንትና. Luna: ትላንትና. Lucas: 'The day after tomorrow' is ከነገ ወዲያ. Luna: ከነገ ወዲያ. Lucas: Awesome. Now you can talk about three different days! Keep practicing, and we'll see you next time on Learn Amharic with Fexingo. Luna: Thanks, Lucas! Bye everyone!
