Phil
Hello, everybody. Welcome!

Caalii
Kutaa kana keessatti, waa’ee karoora keenya fuulduraa akkaataa ittiin dubbannu ilaalla. Namni tokko namoota biroo sadii waa’ee karoorasaanii yoo gaggaafatu caqasuun haa’eegallu. Hubachuuf kan sirakkisu yoo ta’es hin yaadda’iin, gara boodarraa sigargaarraa. Ammaaf karoorasaanii ilaalchisee eenyu yaada akka jijjiire qalbeeffadhu.

Do you have any plans for this summer?
• Yes, I’m going to take a Spanish class.
• I’d like to start running three times a week.
• I might travel to Scotland to see an old friend.

Caalii
Hubattee? Eeyee, namni jalqabaa Afaan Ispeen barachuuf murteesse! Egaa, Fiil, waa’ee karoorawwan fuulduraa dubbachuuf qooqa fayadamuu dandeenyu haa’ilaalluu?

Phil
Yes, why not?

Caalii
Egaa mee gaafiichaan haa’eegallu. Gaafichi ‘Do you have any plans for…?’ erga jedhee booda ittaansuun yeroo ykn waqtii kan itti dabale ture.

Do you have any plans for next month?
Do you have any plans for next year?

Caalii
Himawwan kanneen hunda keessatti, namoonni waa’ee karoorawwan fuulduraa dubbachaa turan. Nama jalqaba dubbate sana ammas haacaqasnu.

Yes, I’m going to take a Spanish class.

Caalii
‘Going to’ fayyadamani. Waa’ee waan dursine hojjechuu murteesine tokko dubbachuuf kana fayyadamna.

Phil
OK, let’s quickly practise the pronunciation together! Notice that when we say 'going to' it often sounds more like ‘gonna’. 'I’m gonna take a Spanish class’. Repeat after me:
I’m gonna take a Spanish class.
I’m gonna take a Spanish class.

Caalii
Tole! Dubbata lammaffaa ammas haacaqasnu.

I’d like to start running three times a week.

Caalii
Dubbataan kun ‘I’d like’ fiiguu jalqabuu jedhe; gaalee ‘I would like’ yoo gabaabsinu ‘I’d like’ ta’a. Waan danda’amu yookaan tarii danda’amuu hinmallee tokkoo hojjachuuf fedhii qabnu dubbachuuf ‘would like’ fayyadamuu dandeenya.

Phil
OK! Let’s practise the pronunciation again. Remember that we say 'I would' as 'I'd'. Repeat after me:
I’d like to start running three times a week.
I’d like to start running three times a week.

Caalii
Ittaansuun, mee nama ittaanu haacaqasnu.

I might travel to Scotland to see an old friend.

Caalii
Gocha yookaan xumura barbaachisaa ta’e ‘might’ jedhutu asitti argama. Kana jechuun waanti tokko akka danda’amu, garuammoo dhibbaa dhibbatti qabatamaa ta’uu dhiisuus akka malu kan agarsiisuudha. Akkasumas jecha ‘tarii’ ykn ‘might’ jedhu booda, gochi ‘to’ jedhu akka itti hindabalamne hubadhu - dubbatichi, ‘I might travel’ jedhe.

Phil
And let’s practise the pronunciation together. Notice how 'to' in 'travel to Scotland' sounds like 'tuh'. Repeat after me:
I might travel to Scotland.
I might travel to Scotland.

Caalii
Thanks, Phil. Egaa, malawwan gargaraa karoorawwan fuulduraa ittiin dubbatn barteetta; ammammoo yeroon kan itti shakaltuudha.
Bori gara mana hiriyaakeetiitti konkolaataakeen deemuu akka murteessite yaadi. Maal jettee dubbatta? Boodarra deebii Fiil waliin walbira qabii ilaali.

Phil
I'm going to drive to my friend’s house tomorrow.

Caalii
Did you say the same? Gaafa Sanbataa godaambaa daaw’achuuf akka barbaaddu tti yaadi. Maal jettee duubbatta? Gocha ‘visit’ jedhu fayyadami. Boodarra deebii Fiil waliin walbira qabii ilaali.

Phil
I’d like to visit a museum on Saturday.

Caalii
Atis akkasuma jette? Gaafii isa xumuraaf, dilbataa dhufu qarqara galaana deemuu akka dandeessu yaadi. Asitti gocha ‘go’ fayyadami.

Phil
I might go to the beach on Sunday.

Caalii
Did you say the same?

Phil
Well done! Now you know how to talk about future plans!

Caalii
