Feelings and emotions
ስሜቶች
Say how you feel and why, and use -ed and -ing adjectives correctly.
How it works
-ed adjectives describe how you feel (I'm bored). -ing adjectives describe the thing (The film is boring).
-ed ስሜትዎን ይገልጻል (I'm bored = ሰልችቶኛል)፤ -ing ደግሞ ነገሩን (The film is boring = ፊልሙ አሰልቺ ነው)።
