The Verb "Have"
In Amharic, the verb "have" is translated as "α₯αα°αα αα" (endizihe new). It is often used to express possession, ownership or affiliation.

| "αααα α α΅ααα αααα¨α΅ α ααα»ααΉα αα" | "hulunm bemetekikil memalket alematchalachu new" | "You all have the ability to learn quickly" |
| "α₯αα΅α α¨ααα¨α³α ααα₯αα" | "enatihum yenimerasaw honobinishagnal" | "Your mother has a beautiful garden" |
Note that in Amharic, the verb "have" does not change according to the subject. It is always "α₯αα°αα αα" (endizihe new).
How to Express "Have Not"

Note that the negation particle "α α" (ayi) can also be used to express negation with other verbs.
How to Ask if Someone Has Something
