Words: home and family
ቃላት፦ ቤትና ቤተሰብ
Name: ________________________Date: ______________
How it works
With these words you can describe your home and talk about your family: "Our house has three bedrooms. I live with my parents, my sister and my grandmother."
በእነዚህ ቃላት ቤትዎን መግለጽና ስለ ቤተሰብዎ መናገር ይችላሉ፦ "Our house has three bedrooms. I live with my parents, my sister and my grandmother." (ቤታችን ሦስት መኝታ ቤቶች አሉት። ከወላጆቼ፣ ከእህቴና ከአያቴ ጋር እኖራለሁ።)
English has one word, "cousin", for the child of any aunt or uncle, boy or girl. Amharic says more: የአጎት ልጅ or የአክስት ልጅ.
እንግሊዝኛ ለአጎትም ሆነ ለአክስት ልጅ፣ ወንድም ሆነ ሴት አንድ ቃል ብቻ አለው፦ "cousin"። አማርኛ ግን በዝርዝር ይናገራል፦ የአጎት ልጅ ወይም የአክስት ልጅ።
