ዕቅድን በgoing to መናገር
Talk about your plans and about things you can see are about to happen.
How it works
Use be going to for plans: things you have already decided to do.
ቀድመን ስለወሰንናቸው ዕቅዶች ለመናገር be going to እንጠቀማለን።

I'm going to visit my parents this weekend.
በዚህ ቅዳሜና እሑድ ወላጆቼን ልጠይቅ ነው።
Negative: We aren't going to travel. Question: Are you going to study tonight?
አንጓዝም። / ዛሬ ማታ ሊያጠኑ ነው?
Things we can see coming: Look at those clouds. It's going to rain.
ሊሆን መሆኑን የምናየው ነገር፦ ደመናውን ይመልከቱ። ሊዘንብ ነው።
Amharic uses ልጠይቅ ነው, ልጀምር ነው for plans. That is very close to going to.
አማርኛ ለዕቅድ "ልጠይቅ ነው"፣ "ልጀምር ነው" ይላል፤ ይህ ከgoing to ጋር በጣም ይቀራረባል።
