Yooyyaa! gara sagantaa barnootaa 'How do I…' tti baga nagaan dhufte! An Caaliidha. Shaanis naa waliin jirti.

Sian
And I'm Sian. Hello, everybody.     

Caalii
Kutaa kana keessatti malawwan garagaraa hiriyootaa ittiin gorsinu ilaalla. Namoonni tokkoo tokko waa'ee Afaan Ingilizii barachuurratti gorsa yoo kennan caqasuudhaan haajalqabnu. Hubachuun kan sirakkisu yoo ta'e, hinyaadda'iin, gara boodaatti akka hubattuuf sigargaarra. Ammaaf gorsa kamtu haalaan gaariidha jettee akka yaaddu murteessi.

You should write a diary in English.

How about watching films in English?

You have to visit BBC Learning English.

Qajeelfammi si gargaaruu danda'an muraasni achi  turaniru. Kamtu haalaan fayida-qabeessa jette murteessitte? Egaa, Shaan, qooqawwan gorsa ittiin kennuuf fayyadamnu haa ilaalluu?

Sian
Yes! The first speaker used the verb 'should'. This is very common for giving advice.

Caalii
Eeyyee. Maaltu 'should' tti aanee akka dhufu qalbeeffaatteettaa? Gocha moo gocha 'to' waliin ta'eedha?

Sian
Let's listen again and find out.

You should write a diary in English.

Sian
Yes, they used the verb 'write' without 'to'. So after 'should' you just need the verb, no 'to'.

Caalii 
Egaa, 'should' booda 'to' n si hinbarbaachisu jechuudha.

Sian
Now, let's quickly practise the pronunciation together! Repeat after me: 'should'.

'should write'

'You should write a diary.'

Sian
OK, great! So now let's look at another way to give advice – we also heard 'how about..?'

Caalii
Eeyyee, haata'u malee 'how about' tti maaltu aanee akka dhufu qalbeeffattee?

Sian
Let's listen again and find out.

Sian
So, they used the verb 'watching'. So after 'how about' you need the verb with 'ing'.

Caalii
Sirriidha; kanaaf 'gocha' irratti 'ing' dabaluu sibarbaachisa. Akkataa itti dubbifamurratti of eegganno godhi  – kun gaafii waan ta'eef yoo sagaleessitu ykn sagaleekee wayita baaftu ol ka'uu mala.

Sian
Let's quickly practise the pronunciation together! Repeat after me: 'How about watching films?'

Caalii
Great – we have one more way to give advice, don't we?  

Sian
That's right – 'have to'. But this is much stronger.

Caalii
Egaa , namni tokko wantokko hojjachuun irrajiraachuusaa yoo haalaan hubannu 'have to' fayyadamna.  Let's listen again:

Caalii
Kanaafuu, gochi (caasluga) 'have to' jedhutti aanee dhufuu mala. Shall we look at the pronunciation quickly?  

Sian
Yes, so 'have' and 'to' together are pronounced /hafta/. Repeat after me: 'hafta'.

'You hafta visit.'

Caalii
Galatoomi, Shaan. Malawwan gaggaarii  gorsi ittiin kennamu  baratteetta; ammammoo yeroo ati itti shaakaltuudha. Jalqabattatti rakkina nama kanaa caqasi.

Insert
I have a really bad headache.

Caalii
Tole, egaa 'headache' jechuun 'bowwoo mataatti' . Amma qoricha wayi 'some medicine' akka fudhatan 'take' yaada laataa? –  jecha 'should' jedhu fayyadamuu ni dandeessaa? Sana booda  gorsa Shaan kennitu dhaggeeffattee waliin madaalu dandeessa.

Sian
You should take some medicine.

Caalii
Did you say the same?  Amma rakkina nama kanaa caqasi.

Insert
I really want to get fit.

Caalii
Tole, egaa 'get fit' jechuun  'gahumsa qaamaa qabaachuu'. Gaafii 'how about you?' fayyadamuun  akka 'Gym ykn jiimii, mana ispoortii itti hojjetan galan irratti'  'join a gym' yaada laachuu dandeessa?  Ittaansuun gorsa Shaan kennite wajjin walbirqabi ilaali ykn madaali – akkaataa sagaleessan ykn sagalee kee itti baaftummo hindagatiin.

Sian
How about joining a gym?

Caalii
Did you say the same?

Sian
Ok, so now you know how you give advice to your friends. I think you should practise this now – find a friend and give them some advice – nicely!

Caalii
Yaada gaariidha! kutaa babbareedo 'How do I…?  dabalataan, torban dhufu walitti deebina. Nagaatti! Bye!

Sian
Bye!
