Words: kitchen and cooking

ቃላት፦ ማድ ቤትና ምግብ ማብሰል

Name: ________________________Date: ______________

How it works

We use these words every day at home: when we cook, eat and wash the dishes. Some are things (a pot, a knife) and some are actions (boil, fry, cut).

እነዚህን ቃላት በቤት ውስጥ በየቀኑ እንጠቀምባቸዋለን፤ ስናበስል፣ ስንበላና ዕቃ ስናጥብ። አንዳንዶቹ ዕቃዎች ናቸው (ድስት፣ ቢላዋ)፤ አንዳንዶቹ ደግሞ ድርጊቶች ናቸው (መቀቀል፣ መጥበስ፣ መቁረጥ)።

Learn action words with a thing: "boil water", "fry eggs", "cut onions". Two words together are easier to remember.

የድርጊት ቃላትን ከዕቃ ጋር ይማሩ፦ "boil water" (ውሃ መቀቀል)፣ "fry eggs" (እንቁላል መጥበስ)፣ "cut onions" (ሽንኩርት መቁረጥ)። ሁለት ቃላት አብረው ሲሆኑ ለማስታወስ ይቀላሉ።
