33 Amharic Interjections

Day 8: የአማርኛ ቃል–አጋኖዎች (Interjection)

Hello everyone! ሰላም! Welcome to the last day of our 1,000 Amharic Words Challenge. Today is Day 8, and in this video, we will learn 30 Amharic interjections. Interjections are words that show feelings or emotions like surprise, happiness, sadness, etc.

So, please stay with me until the end, and don’t forget to repeat after me. Also, like this video and subscribe to my channel to keep learning Amharic with me! Now, let’s start!

ቃል አጋኖዎች ምስጋናን፣ ደስታን፣ ድንጋጤን፣ ሀዘንን፣ ቁጣን፣ ማስጠንቀቂያን፣ ቁጭትን ወዘተ ለመግለጫነት እንጠቀምባቸዋለን።

We use the interjection to express gratitude, joy, shock, sorrow, anger, warning, frustration, and so on.
