Inviting, accepting and saying no
መጋበዝ፣ መቀበል እና በትሕትና እምቢ ማለት
Invite friends, accept invitations and say no politely.
How it works
When you say no, give a short reason and thank the person. It sounds friendlier.
እምቢ ሲሉ አጭር ምክንያት ይስጡ፤ ያመስግኑም። ይበልጥ ወዳጃዊ ይመስላል።
Examples
Listen, then tap the microphone to record yourself and compare. Your voice stays on your phone.
Would you like to come to my birthday party on Saturday?
ቅዳሜ ወደ ልደቴ ድግስ መምጣት ይፈልጋሉ?
Are you free on Sunday afternoon?
እሑድ ከሰዓት በኋላ ነፃ ነዎት?
Let's go for coffee after work.
ከሥራ በኋላ ቡና ልንጠጣ እንሂድ።
Yes, I'd love to. Thank you!
አዎ፣ በደስታ። አመሰግናለሁ!
That sounds great. What time?
በጣም ጥሩ ሐሳብ ነው። ስንት ሰዓት?
I'm sorry, I can't. I have to work.
ይቅርታ፣ አልችልም። መሥራት አለብኝ።
Thanks for asking, but I'm busy that day.
ስለጠየቁኝ አመሰግናለሁ፤ ግን ያን ቀን ሥራ በዝቶብኛል።
Maybe next time?
ምናልባት ሌላ ጊዜ?
Can I bring a friend?
ጓደኛ ይዤ መምጣት እችላለሁ?
See you there!
እዚያ እንገናኝ!
