Idioms: as … as …

ፈሊጣዊ አነጋገሮች፦ as … as … (እንደ … )

Name: ________________________Date: ______________

How it works

An idiom is a group of words with a special meaning. Many English idioms use "as … as …". "As busy as a bee" means "very busy".

ፈሊጣዊ አነጋገር (idiom) ልዩ ትርጉም ያለው የቃላት ስብስብ ነው። ብዙ የእንግሊዝኛ ፈሊጦች "as … as …" (እንደ … ) ይጠቀማሉ። "As busy as a bee" "በጣም ሥራ የበዛበት" ማለት ነው።

The pattern is: as + adjective + as + a thing. It always means "very": as cold as ice = very cold.

አወቃቀሩ፦ as + ቅጽል + as + ነገር። ሁልጊዜ "በጣም" ማለት ነው፦ as cold as ice = በጣም ቀዝቃዛ።

Use them with the verb "be": She is as busy as a bee.

ከ"be" (መሆን) ግስ ጋር ይጠቀሙባቸው፦ She is as busy as a bee. (በጣም ሥራ በዝቶባታል።)
