   S4.E9 - The Relative Clause II

   In this episode we expand on material introduced in the last episode on the Relative Clause, looking at some more ways in which it can be applied in conjunction with other prepositions and other grammatical forms like the conditional “ከሆነ”, as well as conjugating the Relative Clause in its negative form. Pull up the transcript and follow along as we explain conjugations and run through some practice examples.

   S4.E8 - The Relative Clause

   Today we’ll tackle a grammatical form used very frequently in Amharic, known as the Relative Clause. In English we use the relative clause to modify a noun or noun phrase by using a relative pronoun like “which”, “that”, “who”, “whom”, “whose”, etc. With the help of such pronouns, we are able to specify and give greater detail in one sentence and connect two ideas or two separate clauses into one sentence. Follow along as we run through relative clause conjugations and how to apply them in a sentence.
