128 Amharic Pronouns
Day 2: Learn 128 Amharic Pronouns in 6 Minutes
Hi everyone! ሰላም! Welcome back to Day 2 of our 1,000 Amharic Words Challenge. Yesterday, we learned 131 essential nouns, and today, we’ll dive into pronouns, such as እኔ (I), አንተ (you), and እኛ (we), along with possessive phrases like ቤቴ (my house) and ያንተ መኪና (your car), ያንተ እናት (Your mother), etc.
Pronouns are essential for building sentences and expressing relationships in Amharic, so this is an important part of the challenge.
Before we start, remember to:
- Repeat after me to practice pronunciation.
- Take notes for future review.
- Comment below with your favorite Amharic words from today’s lesson.
