In this episode we’ll look at some of the most often used, but also most complex, verbs in the Amharic language. That is, uses of the verb አለ “Ale”. If you’ve made it this far in your language learning you’re likely to have come across the following verbs fairly regularly: አለ, አለው, አለሁ, አልኩ, አለኝ, etc. These variations on አለ are often written and even sound almost exactly the same, but they have different meanings and origins. This episode is designed to help you Identify them from one another and know which to use in any given context. The episode ends with an “appendix” wherein full verb conjugations are found. As always, the full conjugations can be found in the episode transcript.
