What is a Verb?
A verb shows:

learners focus on meaning, form, and correct use in context.

📝 Mini-Lesson: The Two Faces of "YET"

Did you know "yet" has two completely different jobs in English? Let's break it down! 👇

1️⃣ "Yet" as a Conjunction
It connects two ideas and means "but" or "however" (ግን / ሆኖም). It shows a surprising contrast.

👉 Example: It was raining heavily, yet we went for a walk.
(ከባድ ዝናብ እየዘነበ ነበር ሆኖም (ግን) ለእግር ጉዞ ወጣን።)

2️⃣ "Yet" as an Adverb

It usually comes at the end of a sentence and means "until now" (ገና / እስካሁን). We use it mostly in negatives and questions.

👉 Example: I haven't finished my coffee yet.
(ቡናዬን ገና ወይም እስካሁን አልጨረስኩም።)

💬 Idiom: break the ice
➡️ "Let's play a game to break the ice."

➡️ "At the end of the day, your effort matters most."

🌟 Sentence Starter: As far as I'm concerned...
➡️ "As far as I'm concerned, this is the best solution."

What's the English phrase for this Amaharic phrase "ጉዳይ ማስፈፀም"?

Can you use it in Present and Past form in a Sentence?

Tip: It's a casual phrase. It's not very formal.

The best answer for this, and one that is used quite casually, is running errands.

I have some errands to run today = ዛሬ የተወሰኑ ጉዳዮች አሉብኝ።

Errands are short trips made to do normal things like buying grocery, taking kids to school, or handling some stuff at a certain office.
