The Possessive Adjectives in Amharic

The Possessive Adjectives (first method) Now that you have learned the suffix to indicate “my”, study the following chart of suffixes to indicate possession by each personal pronoun. Sometimes you will need to tell people, for example, that you are NOT a doctor, that you are NOT from England, etc. You have previously seen the negative form of the verb ማግባት magїbat [ማግባት agäbba]. Now study the negative form of “to be”, which is slightly irregular.

Don't hesitate to look into these other pages after completing this lesson: “to be” and “to have”, Direct and Indirect Object Affixes, Asking If and Saying Whether It Is “Suitable” or Not & Negative Imperatives.
