How do Amharic verbs change their

form?

Amharic verbs change their forms according to the ⋯
Subjects (Pronouns). Subjective Pronouns are classified »
as “አንደኛ መደብ፣ ሁለተኛ መደብ እና ሶስተኛ መደብ” which means:
“first, second, and third person Pronoun”. These classes
are also divided into “singular and plural”. Let’s go ahead
and make a sentence using the verb “ማስተማር (to teach)”.

3 (three) Facts about Amharic

Verb and Subject Agreement:
1. There are 12 Amharic Subjective pronouns.
2. As we have seen above, most of the English word
“teach” has not changed its form. But the Amharic verb
has changed its form according to the pronouns.
3. Notice that suffixes are added before and after the
Amharic verb according to the pronouns.
4. And in English, we only add the letter “s” to the third-
person male, female, or object. But on the Amharic verb,
we insert four types of letters before the verb. And we
also add up to eight suffixes after the verb. Look at the
chart very closely.
We have seen that Amharic verbs change their form
because of subjective pronouns.
If the Amharic verb is totally changed, the prefixes and
suffixes added to it are also changed. For example, if we
take the verb “መብላት (to eat)” and use it for all pronouns,
as we did with the verb “ማስተማር (to teach)” above, the
prefixes and suffixes added to the verb “ማስተማር (to
teach)” will not be added to the verb “መብላት (to eat)”.
Instead, other prefixes and suffixes should be added.
Look at the following examples:
Amharic-verb-conjugation-Amharic-Grammar-ebook Download
አስተምራለሁ I teach. እበላለሁ I eat

እናስተምራለን We teach. እንበላለን We eat
ታስተምራለህ You teach. ትበላለህ you eat
ታስተምሪያለሽ You teach. ትበያለሽ You eat
ያስተምራሉ You teach. ይበላሉ They eat
ታስተምራላችሁ You teach. ትበላላችሁ You eat

ያስተምራል He teaches. ይበላል He eats
ታስተምራለች She teaches. ትበላለች She eats
ያስተምራሉ They teach. ይበላሉ They eat
ያስተምራል / ታስተምራለች It ይበላል / ትበላለች (ለእንስሳ)

(the AI) teaches. Eats (for an animal)
Why is it different?
Now their prefix and suffix are different because the verb
starts with “መ”. Verbs starting with ”መ” and ”ማ” do not
have the same prefix and suffix. But if we change the verb
“መብላት (to eat)” to “ማብላት,” then their prefix and suffix
will be the same. Let’s see an example.
አስተምራለሁ I teach. I feed the poor.
ድሆችን አበላለሁ
ድሆችን እናበላለን We feed the

እናስተምራለን We teach.
poor.

ያስተምራሉ
poor.
/ ታስተምራለች ያበላል / ታበላለች (ለእንስሳ)
ያስተምራል
It (the AI) teaches. he/she feeds (The cat feeds
her babies)
The main thing we should learn from this PDF is that it is
important to maintain the agreement of pronouns
(subjects) and verbs. As we don’t say “I teachs or she
teach” in English, we don’t say in Amharic “እበላለን፣
ያስተምራለች፣ or ታስተምራል”. We must add the correct
prefixes and suffixes to the correct pronoun. Otherwise,
the sentence will not be accepted. The verbs and
subjects must agree.

In another lesson, we will learn how Amharic verbs
change their form due to tenses. Until then, read this over
and over again.
