ውሃ አፈላሁ።

I boil some water.

Mi bwail som waata.


የማገዶ እንጨት ፈለጥኩ።

I chop the firewood.

Mi chap op som ud fi di faiya.


ድስቱን አማሰልኩ።

I stir the pot.

Mi stor op di pat.


ወለሉን አጸዳሁ።

I sweep the floor.

Mi swiip aaf di fluor.


ሰሃኖቹን አጠብኩ።

I wash the dishes.

Mi wash op di pliet dem.


ግን ለምንድነው እንዲህ በጣም የምሰራው…. ወንድሜ ሲጫወት እየዋለ?።

Why do I work so hard… … when my brother is busy playing?

Wa mek mi a wok so aad… wen mi breda bizi jos a ramp?
