Understanding the Amharic numbering system is useful in a wide range of scenarios, especially when it comes to transactions, discussing times, and navigating transportation.

When you learn numbers in a new language, learn them how they are used in telling time, price, percentage, years, months, days, etc. so that you don’t get confused when you hear them in fast speech. Lean also how to calculate in Amharic. In this course, Insha Allah, I will try to teach you all the necessary skills.
