A man and woman standing in front of a window and wall thermometer.

ቀኖቹ መቀዝቀዝ ጀምረዋል። የሙቀት መጠኑ ምን ያህል ነው?

“The days are starting to get cold. What is the temperature?”

“Les journées commencent à se rafraîchir. Quelle est la température ?”


A woman pointing to a wall thermometer standing next to a man.

ዘጠኝ ዲግሪ ነው። አሁን በልግ ነው። ግን በቅርቡ ክረምት ይሆናል።

“It’s nine degrees. It’s still autumn, but soon it will be winter.”

“Il fait neuf degrés. Nous sommes toujours en automne, mais ce sera bientôt l’hiver.”


A man thinking about sunbathing.

ፀደይን በጉጉት እጠባበቃለሁ። ነገር ግን በበጋው እመርጣለሁ። ጥሩ እና ሙቅ የሚሆንበት ጊዜ።

“I’m looking forward to spring, but I prefer summer, when it’s nice and warm.”

“J’ai hâte d’être au printemps, mais je préfère l’été, quand il fait beau et chaud.”


A woman pointing to the clouds through a window and standing next to a man.

ብርዱ ምንም አያሳስበኝም። ዝናብና ንፋስ ነው የማልወደው።

“I don’t mind the cold. It’s the rain and wind I don’t like.”

“Je me fiche du froid. C’est la pluie et le vent que je n’aime pas.”


An unhappy man looking through a window at the clouds.

እነዚያ ጥቁር ደመናዎችን ተመልከት፣ ነገ ዝናብ ይዘንባል፣ በጣም ነፋሻማ ይሆናል። ምናልባት አውሎ ንፋስ ሊሆን ይችላል።

“Look at those dark clouds. Tomorrow it will rain. It will be very windy too. Perhaps there will be a storm.”

“Regarde ces nuages sombres. Il va pleuvoir demain. Il y aura beaucoup de vent aussi. Peut-être qu’il y aura un orage.”


A man standing in a house looking through the window at the stormy weather.

“እንደማይሆን ተስፋ አደርጋለሁ። መጥፎ የአየር ሁኔታን በተለይም ነጎድጓዳን እና መብረቅን አልወድም። መብረቁ እንዳይመታኝ እፈራለሁ።”

“I hope not. I really don’t like bad weather, especially thunder and lightning. I’m afraid the lightning might strike me.”

“Je n’espère pas. Je n’aime vraiment pas le mauvais temps, surtout le tonnerre et les éclairs. J’ai peur que la foudre me frappe.”
