Pronouns and the Possessive

Episode 1

In this first episode of Season 1 of Bereka Buna’s Video Series, we start with the basics, looking at gender, pronouns and the possessive in Amharic using the verb example “to be”. Follow along with translations, transliterations and the Amharic fidel to gain an elemental understanding of the persons needed for all conjugations and how to indicate possession in Amharic.

S3E10: Season Recap and Practice

Welcome to the final episode of Season 3 of Bereka Buna, where we’ll do our recap and practice for everything we’ve gone over this season. As always, you’ll hear the activity followed by the answer. If you’d like to use this as a test of your knowledge, make sure to pause before the answer is given and then check your answer. Also remember you can always open up the transcript to see the Amharic Fidel and review more by visiting berekabuna.org. መልካም እድል እና እስከ የሚቀጥለው ጊዜ, ሰላም ሁኑ!

S3E9: Unique Expressions in Amharic

In this week’s episode we’ll give grammar and technicalities a break to have a look at some of the unique phrases or expressions in Amharic that have no translation in English, and which give the language so much character. While I learned some of these just by listening and understanding context, many were actually new to me when I started this episode. Now that I know them, though, I can’t stop hearing them used everywhere. I hope this episode helps make you feel more at home with colloquial Amharic.

S3E8: Creating Compound Sentences

Today we’ll look at how to construct compound sentences using a verb form called The Gerund. We introduced the Gerund and how it is used to make past perfect conjugations in Episode 6 of Season 2, so if you’re struggling with this episode, I’d recommend going back for a recap. Now we’re going to go a step further and look at how the gerund is used in conjunction with other verbs to build compound sentences in which more than one action is taking place.
