    Amasiganalo! Indeed Amharinha is a unique and difficult language. When I was in Ethiopia, I learned enough to be polite and I have to say that the locals absolutely loved the fact that I tried. Ethiopia and Ethiopians are AMAZING! Igizihr Yemessagin!

    Ethiopia was the first place that I visited where I had absolutely no clue about the language. They tell time differently too. They run two twelve-hour cycles but they start and end at sunrise and sunset so noon is 6 and so is midnight. It actually makes sense except that nobody else does it that way.

    Excellent research. Such an advanced language. I see in a comment about the double 12-hour system. It is exactly as we see in the Bible. The zeroless numbering system is also very significant. Numbering was a huge problem in ancient times. The history of Ethiopia is amazing, especially regarding the Queen of Sheba and the dynasties up to the present.

      a little history for you here in case you were not aware... in 1938 Italy had occupied some parts of Ethiopia and received recognition from most countries who were too busy fighting Germany. Only seven countries refused to accept this Italian occupation, and Mexico was the only country to strongly condemn. For that support and since then in Addis Ababa, the capital city, there is a roundabout named "Mexico Square". To reciprocate, in Mexico City there is a Metro Etiopia.
      When I went to university in Texas many years ago, my friends and I visited Mexico often. mostly Ciudad Juarez., and twice to Mexico City, and spent a week in La Pesca. one day, I will return there!!! Monica... please plan to visit Ethiopia once this covid thing is over. bring friends.

    Hi, I live in Israel, and often hear Amharic. It doesn't sound like any language I know the sounds of.
    I'd like to say a bit about the Ethiopians. So many are very special people: police, sensitive--many bright and talented. It has be terrifically difficult for the to adjust to the Western culture. For example, in Ethiopia, a forty year old man would be considered retirement age, with his children proudly taking over the (farm) responsibilities and supporting the parents. Here, his life is stressful and complicated.
    As a teacher, I was very touched by the Ethiopian youth. I wished some of their good qualities had rubbed off on the often rude Israelis! Still, many have adjusted and do well, generally easier for the younger than their parents and grandparents.

      Yes, I am Ethiopian American, my parents are professionals migrated to US. I think Israel may not have the structure to nurture and help immigrants to adapt easily. If I may say so, I was appalled by the attitude of being Very judgmental and rude culturally. On the other hand In US we have a supportive, nurturing system to immigrates. ( I know people think Americans are aloud…..but not rude and disrespectful ) As they are many immigrants and came from various countries US has a well organized structure and provides nurturing involvement. It might be US is a much wealthier country compared to Israel. In general We have more opportunities not only to survive further to thrive to the majority of immigrants. The other thing is that US is unique in appreciating and valuing immigrants skills because of this the thriving follows.

    Thanks for this post. I lived in Ethiopia for 2 years, long ago, so this was a good reminder of this unique language. I learned enough of it to be polite, but I wish now I’d tried harder while I was there. I can identify the language when I hear it spoken (which isn’t often) and it always brings back many good memories.

      It’s alien to the region other languages are almost the same and Amharic has obsolutely no relation to the languages of the region for example they occupy my region with the help of white supremacy and whenever they speak I feel like I’m in the presence of aliens and I forget anything else that might be happening around me and to make it even worse they don’t use the same sounds as the rest of humanity. Even if you listen closely it’s impossible to hear or repeat what you heard. It’s like freaking birds or even cows, goats, sheep or wild beasts talking. Their words are made up of different sounds! I can say they are the African version of Chinese!

    I've been hanging out with some Somalians and Ethiopians for about 4 months now. They are very proud people that love sharing their culture and history with me. As an American who has lived in Italy, I was able to pick up some Italian and Spanish through my life. Amharic is something I've never heard before. I really enjoy hearing them talk to each other as the language just runs so smoothly together. They teach me some words here and there, but my ear is untrained in the subtle sounds and nuance. Learning about the great people of the Horn of Africa, and meeting their decedents has been the highlight of the year for me. Great video!

Thus, all our languages use Roman script, but with certain letters and diacritics used to exclusively indicate the 'click' sounds so characteristic of this part of Africa.

    Thank you for the amazing video trying to introduce Amharic language to the world and you are successful!!
    One thing you might have missed through your presentation is that In Amharic grammar there is also ‘polite form ‘ which English and some other language might not have. For example: አንተ ( you singular ) - እናንተ ( you plural) vs እርስዎ ( you singular polite) - እናንተ ( you plural polite). French and Russian Languages might have such conjugations
    My second comment: I am not sure if there is proven evidence that the Geez language is derived from Arabic language though it is semantic language. We believe that the Geez is primary after Hebrew language. We may need to make more search on that.
