GIVE AND GET

A few useful words in day to day are related to giving and receiving, maybe if you are going to adopt a child in Ethiopia will be useful. It's nice to give some security to children at a time of great change.

ENKA / ENKI                            take (first for boy, then for girl)
Seten / Sechin                              Give me (first for boy, then for girl)
WUSED / WUSEGI                    take it (first for boy, then for girl)
LEWESED?                                Shall I take it?
TEFELEGALEH / TEFELEGIALESH?    You want it? (first for boy, then for girl)

BUHE

Every August 19 there is an orthodox holiday called Buhe. Children go from door to door singing a song called hoya hoye, one of them is saying "hoya hoye" and some sentences and the others follow while rhythmically repeating "ho" and some sentences. The people in the houses before used to give them some food, now often give them some money.

At dusk it is customary burn the chibo, some bundle of sticks, is used to burn in neighborhoods where everyone brings their own chibo and then set fire to them.

It is something that children who go to other countries do not have the opportunity to participate, there are many songs on You tube, perhaps could have fun with them!
