=== | === Pronunciation Tips === | ||
Tigrinya pronunciation can be tricky, but practicing with native speakers can make a big difference in improving your ability to pronounce new words. Tigrinya vowels are pronounced as follows: | |||
- 'a' as in "cat" | |||
- 'e' as in "bed" | |||
- 'i' as in "ski" | |||
- 'o' as in "boat" | |||
- 'u' as in "moon" | |||
Additionally, Tigrinya words never begin with a vowel. If a word starts with a vowel sound, the consonant 'h' should precede it. | |||
=== Examples in Context === | |||
Here are some examples of how to use these emotions and feelings in a dialogue (with pronunciation and translation in English): | |||
* Person 1: ሕማቅ ኣብቲ ንስርባዕ ነበር (H'mak abti nsərba neber) (I'm in pain and nervous) | |||
* Person 2: ንዝቐረብ ስልቲ በልቶ ኣብ የብሱ (Nzək'ərebh səlti bəlto abə yəbsu) (Don't worry, it will get better) | |||
== Cultural Information == | |||
In Tigrinya culture, expressing emotions and feelings publicly is not common. Tigrinya speakers often only express their emotions and feelings with close family members and close friends. Conversely, people from Western cultures are often more expressive in public or with acquaintances. Understanding these cultural differences can help prevent misunderstandings in communication. | |||
== Practice Exercises == | |||
1. Make a list of five emotions that you feel in everyday life. Write them in Tigrinya and English. | |||
2. Choose three emotions from the vocabulary list and use them in a dialogue. Make sure to include at least two full sentences per person. | |||
