Words: body and health

ቃላት፦ የሰውነት ክፍሎችና ጤና

Name: ________________________Date: ______________

How it works

At a clinic, short sentences are enough: "My stomach hurts." "I have a fever and a cough." Learn the body part, then add "hurts" or "I have a …".

በክሊኒክ አጫጭር ዓረፍተ ነገሮች በቂ ናቸው፦ "My stomach hurts." (ሆዴን ያመኛል)፣ "I have a fever and a cough." (ትኩሳትና ሳል አለብኝ)። የሰውነቱን ክፍል ይማሩ፤ ከዚያ "hurts" ወይም "I have a …" ይጨምሩ።

Amharic uses እግር for both "leg" and "foot". In English, the leg is from the hip to the ankle, and the foot is the part you stand on.

አማርኛ ለ"leg"ም ለ"foot"ም "እግር" ይላል። በእንግሊዝኛ ግን leg ከዳሌ እስከ ቁርጭምጭሚት ያለው ክፍል ነው፤ foot ደግሞ የምንቆምበት የእግር ክፍል ነው።
