Yooyyaa! Gara sagantaa barnootaa How do I…tti baga nagaan dhufte! An Caaliidha. Fiilis naa waliin argama.

Hello, everybody. Welcome!

Caalii
Kutaa kana keessatti waa’ee wantoota ganama ganama hojjannu ittiin ibsinu ilaalla. Namoota waa’ee waan ganama ganama raawwatanii haasa’an caqasuudhaan haajalqabnu. Hubachuun kan sirakkisu yoo ta’e, hinyaadda’iin, akka hubattuuf gara boodaatti sigargaarra. Ammaaf, hojiin tokko tokkoon isaan raawwatan yeroo kamitti akka ta’e hubachuuf caqasi. Gaaleewwan si gargaaran lama kunooti: ‘get up’ kauu (ciissicharra) akkasumas ‘wake up’ dammaquu.

I wake up at 6 o’clock.

I get up at 7 o’clock.

I have a shower at 7 o’clock.

I have breakfast at 8 o’clock.

Caalii
Tokko-tokkoon hojii yeroo kam akka hojjetan hubattee? Yoo hinhubanne hinyaada’in, gara boodarraa waa’ee tokko tokkoosaanii ni dubbanna. Egaa namni jalqabaa,‘I wake up at…’ jedhe. Sa’aatiisaa hubattee?

Phil
It was 6 o’clock. When you want to say the time, you have to use the word ‘at’ to mention the time. So, for example, I can say ‘I wake up at 5 o’clock’. Let’s practise. Listen and repeat.

I wake up at 6 o’clock.

Caalii
Ittansuudhaan, dubbatichi, ‘I get up at…’ jedhe. Yeroosaa qabattee…? Eeyyee, ‘at 7 o’clock’. Akka ‘wake up’ fi ‘get up’ hiika adda addaa qaban yaadadhu. ‘Wake up’ hirribbarra yeroo dammaqxu wayita ta’u ‘get up’ ammo erga irribarraa dammaqxee booda wayita sirreerraa kaatudha.

Phil
Let’s practise saying the sentence. Listen and repeat.

I get up at 7 o’clock.

Caalii
Baay’ee gaarii, dubbattuun ittaantu ‘she has a shower’ jette. Isa kanaaf sa’aatiisaa hubattee? Ammas sa’aatii 7 ture.

Phil
We use the action word ‘have’ with ‘shower’.

Caalii
Eeyyee, jecha ‘take’ jedhamuufi gocha kan agarsiisu kana shawor gochuu ykn qaama dhiqachuu waliinis fayyadamu dandeenya. ‘Have’ jechi jedhu ammo hojii tokko hojjechaa jiraachuu ykn waan tokko keessa darbaa jiraachuu kan ibsuudha.

Phil
Yes, let’s practise. Listen and repeat.

I have a shower at 7 o’clock.

Caalii
Hojii gaarii! Dubbataan dhumaa ammo inni/ isheen ciree ofii nyaachu dubbate. Wayita ‘have breakfast’ jettu, ‘to eat’ jecuudha; kanaafu kun akkaata itti-faayadama ‘have’ isa biroodha. Fiil, dhugaatiif ‘have’ tti fayyadamuu dandeenyaa?

Phil
You absolutely can. We can use ‘have’ to talk about eating and drinking. So I can say ‘I’m having a sandwich’ and ‘I’m having a coffee’.

Caalii
Jecha akkana haalaan faayda-qabeessa kana. Egaa nuti maaliif hinshaakalle? ‘Have a practice’?

Phil
Yes, let’s practise. Listen and repeat.
I have breakfast at 8’clock.

Caalii
Haa ta’u, nuti waan hanga yoonaatti baranne maaliif hinshaakalle. Mee sa’a meeqatti akka hirribarra damaqnu himuun haa jalqabnu - gaalee hirribarra damaquu agarsiisu sana fayyadamuun. Sa’aatii 8tti jechuu haa shaakallu. Duubarra, walbira qabdee ilaaluuf akka si fayyaduuf deebii Fiil ni dhageessa.

Phil
I wake up at 8 o’clock.

Caalii
Ammammoo gaalee isa sireerraa ka’uu jechuu sanaa haa dubbannu. Sa’a meeqaatti sana gootaa? Boodarra, deebiikee deebii Fiil waliin walbira qabii ilaali.

Phil
I get up at 9 o’clock.

Caalii
Yeroo kanammoo, faayidaawwan garagaraa ‘have’ qabu lama haa shaakallu: inni tokko waan tokko hojjachuu yoo ta’u, inni biraammoo nyaachuu dha. Lamaansaanii ni yaadattaa? Jechoota ‘shower’ shaaworii ykn qaama dhiqachuu fi ‘breakfast’ ciree wajjin walqabatu. Himawwan lamman jechaa akkuma duraanii boodarra deebii Fiil caqasuun deebiikee waliin walbira qabii ilaalii.

Phil
I have a shower at 9 o’clock.
I have breakfast at 9 o’clock.

Caalii
Did you say the same?

Phil
I think you did very well, and I hope you had fun listening to today’s lesson. Now, I’m going to have a coffee.

Caalii
Anille akkasuman godha! Garaagarummaa hiika ‘wake up’ fi ‘get up’ yaadadhu; akkasumas waa’ee yeroo wayita dubbatu ‘at’ fayyadamuu yaadadhu. Turti har’a nuu waliin qabaatteef galatoomi, nagaatti! Goodbye!

Phil
Goodbye!
