Hi [https://polyglotclub.com/language/amharic Amharic] learners! 😊<br>
In this lesson, we will be discussing one of the fundamental aspects of Amharic grammar - gender. As you may already know, gender is present in many languages, including English, where we have masculine and feminine pronouns. In Amharic, the idea of gender goes beyond just pronouns and permeates all aspects of the language. But don't worry, we'll break it down and make it easy to understand!

== Introduction to Gender ==

In Amharic, nouns belong to one of two genders: masculine or feminine. Unlike many languages that assign gender based on the biological sex of an object, Amharic gender assignment is mostly arbitrary. There are some general themes like feminine endings often being -it or -et and masculine nouns being a syllabic version of it or et, but it is important to remember that there are many exceptions.

The gender of a noun has many implications. For example, the pronouns that a noun can take are dependent on the gender. Additionally, the form and conjugation of verbs change depending on the gender of the subject. Pronouns, adjectives, and articles also change based on gender.

Let's go deeper into the two genders:

=== Masculine ===

Masculine nouns make use of the prefix የ- (ye-) before the noun. For example, the word for "boy" in Amharic is "ወንድ" (wänd), so "a boy" would be "የወንድ" (yewänd). Here are some more examples:

{| class="wikitable"
! Amharic !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| የጉድጓድ || yegudugud || a mountain
|-
| የአልማዝ || yalamaz || a pencil
|-
| የሚካኤል || yemikael || a name
|}

=== Feminine ===

Feminine nouns, on the other hand, use the suffix -ች (-chə) at the end of the noun. For example, the word for "girl" in Amharic is "ልጅ" (lij), so "a girl" would be "ልጅች" (lijchə). Here are some more examples:

You may have noticed that some of these nouns break the pattern we discussed earlier. For instance, Beteseb ends with -eb but is feminine, while Lij ends with a consonant but is feminine. This is where learning nouns' gender can become tricky, but don't worry too much about getting it perfect right now.

== Use of Gender in Grammar ==

Now that we've covered the basics of gender, let's talk about how it is implemented in Amharic grammar.

=== Pronouns ===

Just like in English, Amharic has gender-specific pronouns. Here are the basic subject pronouns in Amharic:

{| class="wikitable"
! Subject Pronoun !! Masculine Gender !! Feminine Gender
|-
| I(sigular) || እኔ (enə) || እኔ(enə)
|-
| You (singular) || አንቺ (antchi) || አንቺ(antchi)
|-
| He/She/It || እሱ/እሷ || እሱ/እሷ
|-
| We || እኛ (eña) || እኛ (eña)
|-
| You (plural) || እናንተ || እናንተenantə
|-
| They || እነሱ (enǝsu) || እነሱ(enəsu)
|}

As you can see, the pronouns for he/she/it, we, and they are dependent on the gender of the noun in question.

=== Adjectives ===

Adjectives in Amharic are gender-specific: they change depending on the gender of the noun they are describing. Here's an example:

* ትንሽ (tenṧ) - "small(masculine)"
* ትንሿ (tenṧwa) - " the small '(feminne)

=== Verbs ===

Verbs in Amharic are also gender-sensitive. Depending on the gender of the subject, a verb may have a slightly different conjugation.

Let's take the verb "to dance" in its present perfect form as an example:

* መዝነው የሚያሳያችሁ (meznew yemiyasayachihu) - "They (feminine) have been dancing"
* መዘነቱ የሚያሳያችሁ (mezinetu yemiyasayachihu) - "They (masculine) have been dancing"

Notice how the only difference between the two sentences is the gender-specific pronoun? Yet, the verb "yemiyasayachihu" changes slightly to reflect the gender of the subject.

=== Articles ===

Amharic uses gender-specific articles as well. Here they are:

{| class="wikitable"
! Article !! Masculine Gender !! Feminine Gender
|-
| A || አምስት (amist) || አራት (arat)
|-
| The || የ (ye) || ተመርጠሪ (temertəri)
|}

For example, "the boy" would be "yewänd" and "the girl" would be "lijchə."

== Examples in Dialogue ==

Person 1: ኢትዮጵያ በዓለም አቀፍ የሆነ ወንድ ነው. (Itiopia ba'aläm ak'if yehone wänd new.) ("Ethiopia is a country with a large population of boys.")

Person 2: የባቢሎን ማስታወሻ ድርሻለሁ. (Yäbälon mastaweshadaräshalähun.) ("I'm sending a postcard from Barcelona.")

Person 1: ቀይ ጊዜ ነው. ልክ ተባረክላቸው. (Keye gize new. Lek təbaräklalachu.) ("It's a beautiful time of year. Enjoy it.")

Person 2: ቤተሰብዎ ድረ ገፅ እንዲህ ይላሉ። (Betesebwo dər gasəndihǝ yilaluh.) ("Your church has an interesting history.")

Person 1: ከመስመር ትንሽ ነው ያለው ልጅ. (Kämesmer tənəš new yaləwu lij.) ("The child is shy to strangers.")

Person 2: የጀርመን ቤተመንገድ ብርሃን ነው. (YeJirmen Betämeneged birhan new.) ("Girmen's church is expensive.")

== Practice Makes Perfect ==

To reinforce what we've learned, practice categorizing different nouns by gender. When you come across a new noun, think about what gender it might be based on its ending or its characteristics.

==Slang Expressions ''(warning: offensive language!)''==
===Putain !===

*Meaning: fuck!
Among young French people, "putain" is a common interjection which is rarely expressed to harm someone. Its nearest equivalent in English is probably “Fuck!” / "For fuck's sake".

It is usually used as an interjection or an adjective to express anger, but it can also be used to convey surprise (positively or negatively) :
*Example: Wahou ! c'est un putain d’artiste !
<blockquote>He is some fucking artist!</blockquote>
*Example: Putain ! arrête tes conneries !
<blockquote>Cut the crap/bullshit, for fuck's sake!</blockquote>

===Merde !===
*Meaning: shit!
It has the same meaning as "Putain !".

A combination of the two words are often used as in "Putain, merde !" or "Putain de merde".

*Example: Putain, merde ! C'est pas possible.
<blockquote>Fuck! I can't believe it!</blockquote>

*Meaning: Ah, heck!
Surprise with a certain degree of disappointment.

===Je reste sans voix / Je reste bouche bée===
*Literally: I remain speechless

===ça m'étonne / ça me surprend===
*Literally: that amazes me

===Ah bon ? / Vraiment ? / Tiens ?===
*Meaning: really?

===Non! ===
*Often followed by: "C'est pas possible !

===C'est un truc de fou ! / C'est un truc de ouf ! ===
*Meaning: it's crazy!

===Je (n')en reviens pas !===
*Meaning: I can't believe it !

==Slang Expressions ''(warning: offensive language!)''==
===Putain !===

*Meaning: fuck!
Among young French people, "putain" is a common interjection which is rarely expressed to harm someone. Its nearest equivalent in English is probably “Fuck!” / "For fuck's sake".

It is usually used as an interjection or an adjective to express anger, but it can also be used to convey surprise (positively or negatively) :
*Example: Wahou ! c'est un putain d’artiste !
<blockquote>He is some fucking artist!</blockquote>
*Example: Putain ! arrête tes conneries !
<blockquote>Cut the crap/bullshit, for fuck's sake!</blockquote>

===Merde !===
*Meaning: shit!
It has the same meaning as "Putain !".

A combination of the two words are often used as in "Putain, merde !" or "Putain de merde".

*Example: Putain, merde ! C'est pas possible.
<blockquote>Fuck! I can't believe it!</blockquote>

Language/Macedonian/Grammar/Pronouns

2021-01-15T19:59:02Z

Magda spain:

[[File:macedonia-flag.jpg|thumb]]
In English personal pronouns are (I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they), and (me, you, him, her, it, us, you, them), In Macedonian, the personal pronouns are:
* Јас… (I),
* ти… (you),
* тој… (he),
* таа… (she),
* тoa… (it)
* Ние… (we),
* вие… (you),
* тие… (they)

== Examples: ==
* јас учам (I learn),
* ти учиш (you learn),
* тој учи (he learns),
* таа учи (she learns),
* Вие учите (you learn [polite]),
* ние учиме (we learn),
* вие учите (you learn [plural, friendly]),
* тие учат (they learn),
* Вие учите (you learn [plural, polite]).

== Indirect Object Pronouns: ==
Indirect object pronouns are words that replace the indirect object, which is usually a person. In the Macedonian language, there are long and short forms (used in direct and indirect speech as well)

* мене ме (me),
* тебе те (you),
* него го (him),
* неа ја (her),
* него го (it),
* нас нè (us),
* вас ве (you),
* ним им (them)

'''Examples:'''
* Дај ми ја книгата (give me the book).
* Јас те сакам тебе(I love you).

== Possessive Pronouns: ==

The possessive pronoun depends on the noun. If the noun is masculine gender, the possessive pronoun must be of masculine gender.

The same goes for feminine and neuter gender nouns, as well as for the plural.

Language/Macedonian/Grammar/Negation

2021-01-15T19:58:46Z

Magda spain:

[[File:macedonia-flag.jpg|thumb]]In Macedonian, negation can be made simply by placing "Ne" before the main verb.

But sometimes a double negative is required. "Ne" is the most common negative.

* Не можам да го направам ова. (''I can't'' do this).
* Тие немаат ништо да прават (they don't have anything to do – Double Negative).
* Не ми се допаѓа тоа (I don't like it)

Sometimes the negative can be made with the auxiliary verb “нема" (don’t have) or with negative words like:
* никој (nobody) or ништо (nothing).

Magda spain:

[[File:macedonia-flag.jpg|thumb]]
== Definite Article: ==
Like in English, where we have only one definite article “the", in Macedonian it is same but the article changes in accordance with the gender of the noun.
* -от, -ов, -он (masculine singular), мажот, мажов, мажон (the man, this man, that man)
* -та, -ва, -на (feminine singular) куќата, куќава, куќана (the house, this house, that house)
* -то, -во, -но (neuter singular) детето, детево, детено (the child, this child, that child)
* -те (ти), -ве (ви), -не (ни) (plural) куќите, куќиве, куќине (the houses, these houses, those houses)

* The suffixes -ов, -ва, -во, -ве (ви) are used when the subjects (and persons) are near the speaker. Дај ми ја книгава - Give me this book.
* The suffixes –он, -на, -но, -не (ни) are used when the subjects (and persons) are far from the speaker. Дај ми ја книгана - Give me that book.

== Indefinite Article: ==
While we have (a / an ; some) in English as indefinite articles, we also have еден/една/едно; неколку'' ''in Macedonian.

In general, whenever (a, an) are used in English you don’t need to use (еден, едно) or (една) to say the equivalent in Macedonian.

Еден, една, едно are used as a substitution for a/an only when a/an are used with the meaning of "one".

The Macedonian equivalent of "some" is неколку.

* книга (a book)
* куќа (a house)
* неколку книги (some books)
* неколку куќи (some houses)
* Example: Книгите кои ги имам се во куќа на еден пријател. (The books I have are in a house of a friend)

Language/Macedonian/Grammar/Adverbs

2021-01-15T19:58:20Z

Magda spain:

[[File:macedonia-flag.jpg|thumb]]
While in English adverbs are usually formed by adding (-ly) to adjectives.

In Macedonian many adverbs are formed from adjectives, simply by adding the suffix -но to the singular feminine form of adjectives.

Examples:
* бавен (slow) becomes бавно (slowly)
* перфектен (perfect) becomes перфектно (perfectly)

However that’s not always the case. Some words are adverbs by nature.

For example:
* сега (now), навистина (really), and наскоро (soon).

The same goes for feminine and neuter gender nouns, as well as for the plural.
