Learn 50+ Common Amharic Verbs | Speak Amharic Naturally with Everyday Actions

Описание: Welcome to Hagerly Channel — your home for learning Amharic easily and naturally.

In this Amharic Lesson 2, we’re focusing on Amharic verbs — the heart of every sentence. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to sound more fluent, this video will help you understand, pronounce, and use the most common verbs used in everyday Amharic conversation.

In this lesson, you will learn:

The difference between the infinitive form (to do) and the 3rd person masculine past tense (he did).

Over 50 common action verbs like eat, drink, go, sleep, help, buy, write, and more.

The correct pronunciation in Amharic and the meaning in English.

How some verbs change sounds between their forms (for example: “to cut” — መቁረጥ mäk’urät’ becomes ቆረጠ k’orät’ä).

Real usage examples and pronunciation guidance with Isaac and Heldana.

Examples you’ll learn:

To eat — መብላት (mäbïlat), በላ (bäla)

To go — መሄድ (mähed), ሄደ (hedä)

To work — መስራት (mäsïrat), ሰራ (sära)

To buy — መግዛት (mägïzat), ገዛ (gäza)

To sleep — መተኛት (mätäñat), ተኛ (täña)

To help — መርዳት (märïdat), ረዳ (räda)

Cultural Tip:
Some Amharic verbs start with the prefix “tä–” (ተ), like ተመለሰ (tämäläsä) — “he came back.” When you switch it to the infinitive form, that “t” sound disappears: መመለስ (mämäläs). This pattern appears in many verbs like “to play” — መጫወት (mäč’awät), “he played” — ተጫወተ (täč’awätä).

Why this lesson matters:
Understanding verbs is one of the most important parts of learning Amharic. Once you master these, you can describe what you do, what others do, and start forming complete, natural sentences in conversations.
