Shaamiziin Alii dulloomee jira. Haaraa isa barbaachisa.
Ali’s shirt is old. He needs a new one.
Uffata haaraa barbaaduuf gara galma daldalaa deeme.
He goes to the shopping mall to look for new clothes.
Galma daldalaa keessatti mana uffataa argachuu hin dandeenye.
In the shopping mall he cannot find the clothing store.
Kallattii gaafachuuf suuqii tokkotti seene. “Uffata eessaa bitachuu danda’a?” jedhee gaafate.
He goes into a shop to ask for directions. “Where can I buy clothes?” he asks.
Abbaan suuqii gara suuqii daldalaa gama biraa sanaatti akeeke. Manni uffataas gama faallaa irra jira!
The shopkeeper points to the other side of the mall. The clothing store is on the opposite side!
Aliin seenee shaamizii barbaade. Shaamiziin isaaf baayyee guddaa dha, akkasumas baayyee qaalii dha.
Ali goes in and looks for a shirt. The shirts are too big for him, and quite expensive.
Bakka isaas surreewwan lama haaraa gurgurtaarra jiru bite. Ji’a dhufu yeroo mindaa isaa argatu shaamizii akka bitatu murteesse.
He buys a new pair of trousers instead because they are on sale. He decides he will buy a shirt next month when he gets his salary.
