My, your, his, her

Say who things belong to with my, your, his, her and 's.

How it works

Use my, your, his, her, our and their before a noun to say who something belongs to.

አንድ ነገር የማን እንደሆነ ለመናገር ከስም በፊት my፣ your፣ his፣ her፣ our እና their እንጠቀማለን።

's for people: Abebe's car, my sister's phone

ለሰዎች 's፦ የአበበ መኪና፣ የእህቴ ስልክ

Amharic adds an ending to the noun (ስልኬ). English puts a separate word before it: my phone.

አማርኛ በስሙ መጨረሻ ቅጥያ ይጨምራል (ስልኬ)፤ እንግሊዝኛ ግን ከፊቱ የተለየ ቃል ያስቀምጣል፦ my phone።
