ሰላም፣ እንደት ናችሁ! Welcome back to the channel! Today, we’re exploring common Amharic words that begin with ሉ (Lu), ሊ (Li), and ላ (La). While words starting specifically with ‘ሉ’ and ‘ሊ’ are fewer and often appear in the middle or end of words instead of appearing at the beginning, I’ve also included some useful words that start with the letter ‘ላ’ (La). So in total, you’ll learn 14 essential words built on these three leters. Get ready to expand your Amharic vocabulary!
