Making Suggestions Using “Let” in Amharic
Making suggestions involves use of the jussive form of the verb. The jussive is formed by adding an appropriate prefix to the male form of the imperative verb. A common use of the jussive expresses “let’s” do something:
እን ïnnï + imperative verb form for male person = let’s
The dialog makes use of the jussive form of መገናኘት mägänaňät [ተገናኘ tägänaňä], as in: መቼ እንገናኝ mäče ïnnïgänaň? When shall we meet?
