== Definition and Characteristics of Phrasal Verbs == | |||
Phrasal verbs in Amharic consist of a base verb combined with particles that modify its meaning. Unlike in English, where phrasal verbs often take a more figurative meaning, in Amharic, the meaning can sometimes be more direct. Let's look at some fundamental aspects: | |||
* '''Base Verb''': The primary action word. | |||
* '''Particle''': A preposition or adverb that alters the meaning of the base verb. | |||
* '''Meaning''': The combined meaning can be quite different from the individual meanings of the verb and the particle. | |||
