Word library. 104 everyday words, each spoken with a native voice. Tap a word to hear it.

Numbers. Amharic word, TEDYAPPS spelling, English, the numeral, and the traditional Ge'ez numeral in gold.
The Ethiopian calendar has 13 months — twelve of 30 days and a short 13th month, ጳጉሜ — and runs ~7–8 years behind the Gregorian calendar. Each month is shown with its English equivalent.
