In Amharic grammar, we add the (ን / n) Fidel on Objective nouns. Even if the possessive noun has already “ን / n”, we add the “ን / n” again to change the possessive noun into an Objective noun. For example, “ንብረታችን = ንብረታችንን” (our property). That is how we know that a word is an Objective noun. Next, we’ll learn how to use Objective nouns in sentences.
