To express two sequential actions in the present, the first verb is shortened:
እታጠብና ጥርሴን እቦርሻለሁ ‘ïtat΄äbïna t΄ïrsen ïborïšallähu,’ rather than እታጠባለሁ እና ጥርሴን እቦርሻለሁ ‘ïtat΄äbalähu ïnna ïborïšallähu.’
እራቴን እበላና እሄዳለሁ‘ïraten ïbälana ….ïhedallähu’ rather than እራቴን እበላለሁ እና እሄዳለሁ ‘ïbälalähu ïnna… ïhedallähu’
To shorten the first verb, simply remove the ending (based on allä) and add ‘ïna.’
