Hi Borana-Arsi-Guji Oromo learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn how to give opinions in Borana-Arsi-Guji Oromo. We will discover some useful adjectives and how to use them.
If you want to improve your Borana-Arsi-Guji Oromo Grammar, you can also use the Polyglot Club website. Find native speakers and ask them any questions!
Giving opinions[edit | edit source]
In English, we use different adjectives to give opinions, such as "good", "bad", "interesting", "boring", etc. In Borana-Arsi-Guji Oromo, we also have adjectives to express our opinions. Let's learn some of them:
| Borana-Arsi-Guji Oromo | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| baayyeef | /baːjjeːf/ | good |
| jordadhuu | /dʒɔrdadhuː/ | bad |
| arfichiisu | /aɾfitʃiisu/ | interesting |
| qabaachuun | /qabaːtʃuːn/ | boring |
| dukkana | /dukkaːna/ | easy |
| gaari | /gaːri/ | difficult |
| qabaqabaa | /qabaqabaː/ | delicious |
| cufcinnaa | /tʃufʃinnaa/ | disgusting |
| hinjirruu | /hinʤiɾruː/ | beautiful |
| waangariiruu | /waːŋgaɾiːruː/ | ugly |
To use these adjectives, we put them after the noun they describe. For example:
- Borana-Arsi-Guji Oromo: Haraamallee baayyeef.
- English: The food is good.
- Borana-Arsi-Guji Oromo: Bilisummaa jordadhuu.
- English: Freedom is bad.
- Borana-Arsi-Guji Oromo: Walaloo arfichiisu.
- English: The story is interesting.
- Borana-Arsi-Guji Oromo: Korme qabaachuun.
- English: The lesson is boring.
- Borana-Arsi-Guji Oromo: Amma dabalata tokko dukkana.
- English: But this exercise is easy.
- Borana-Arsi-Guji Oromo: Amma seena qabqabe tokko gootan.
- English: But this meat is delicious.
- Borana-Arsi-Guji Oromo: Humni namatti fedhii hinjirruu.
- English: The dress that you are wearing is beautiful.
- Borana-Arsi-Guji Oromo: Janiisaa wal jaaqallu waangariiruu.
- English: Janisaa's hair is ugly when she cuts it short.
To reinforce what we have learned, let's practice using adjectives to give opinions in a dialogue.
Dialogue:
- Person 1: Haraamalle baayyeef. (The food is good.)
- Person 2: Eebbisaa qabaqabaa? (Is the meat delicious?)
- Person 1: Yaa, qabaqabaa. (Yes, it's delicious.)
- Person 2: Bilisummaa jordadhuu. (Freedom is bad.)
- Person 1: Adee, bilisummaan duuti jordadhuu. (Yes, the situation with freedom is bad.)
- Person 2: Walaloo arfichiisu. (The story is interesting.)
- Person 1: Booda gareen gaari. (But the movie was difficult.)
