So, here we are on Oxford Street – it's one of the busiest streets in London. So let's play a game: how many red things can you see? You go first, Feifei!

Feifei
It's easy to see red things in London. Look over there - there's a red post box.

Jennifer
That's a good one. Ok, my turn. There are a couple of red telephone boxes over there. Not many people use them nowadays, because almost everyone has mobile phones, but they are certainly another iconic symbol of London.

Feifei
If something is iconic, it typically represents something – so a red telephone box typically represents London. Here comes one of the most iconic symbols of London – a big, red double decker bus!

Egaa Feyifeyii fi Jenifar wantoota bifa diimaa qabu meeqa argan? Walumaa gala wantoota sadii turan; sanduuqa poostaa, sanduuqa bilbilaa…eeyyee, sirriidha akkasumas ‘double decker bus’ ‘otobisii diimaa abbaa gulantaa lamaa’ arganiiru. Amma otobisii abbaa gulantaa lamaa yaabanii bakka biraa deemu. Eessatti akka irraa bu’an walumaanu hubanna.   

Jennifer
Shall we get on it and head over to Hyde Park for a stroll?

Feifei
Good idea. I'll stick my hand out for the bus… (Bus drives past) Hey! It didn't stop!

Jennifer
Oh that's so annoying! It really makes me see red!

Feifei
Oh, me too! Here, the phrase 'to see red' can be used to describe getting really angry about something.

Jennifer
Well, don't worry. We can catch the next one… in fact, here comes another.

Ammayyuu
Feyifeyin otobisii dhaabsisuuf mallattoo agarsiistullee, otobisichi dhaabachuun otoo irraa eegamuu itti fufee qajeele. Feyifeyin diimaa agarte ‘saw red’. 'To see red’ diimaa arge/agartee jecha jedhu gaafa namni wayii waan tokkorratti aaru ibsuuf itti fayyadamna. Kanaafuu, bifa yookiin halluu waliin hidhata homaa hin qabu.   

Amma Feyifeyi fi Jenifar otobisiirra jiru. Namoonni baay’ees keessa jiru. Fakkeenya biraa. Jenifar 'seeing red' yeroo diimaa agartu caqasi Maaltu ishii aarsee? Feyifeyin maaliif Paarkii keessatti ‘see red’ diimaa agarte?  

Feifei
We made it! Off to Hyde Park we go. Shall we move down inside and get a seat? There's a couple at the back there.

Jennifer
There are quite a few people in the way though… Excuse me, sorry, can I just squeeze past into this seat? Would you mind moving out of the way? Excuse me? 

(Whispering) These people won't let me past! They're just pretending we're not here. Oh! I'm really seeing red now!

(Sound of birdsong)

It's lovely here in the park – it’s a breath of fresh air compared to that crowded bus. Shall we find somewhere to go and eat our sandwiches?

Feifei
Here's a picnic area, let's sit down. Oh no - more red!

Jennifer
What do you mean?

Feifei
Someone has spray-painted red graffiti all over the table and the seat… And the paint is still wet! It's all over my clothes! I thought I was seeing red before, but I'm really seeing red now!

Jennifer
Well, our game was to look for red things in London – but I didn't think we'd be seeing red all afternoon! I think it might be time to go home, before we see red again!

Feifei
I think you’re right.

Yeroo ittaanutti Jenifariifi Feyifeyin 'see red' waan diimaa isaan agarsiisu dhabamuu mala jennee haa abadannu. Har’a ‘see red’ diimaa arguun dallanuu yookiin aaruu akka ta’e hubattee jirta. Yeroo dhumaatiif kan ati aariin fuulli yookiin iji si diimate yoom ture?
