Tomedes assigns each project to a native Amharic specialist and checks that Ethiopic characters display correctly in the delivered file.

In Tomedes assignment records since January 2024, about 2 in 3 Amharic assignments were into Amharic and about 1 in 3 out of it.

About the Amharic language

Amharic is an Afro-Asiatic language of the Southwest Semitic group, related to Ge'ez, the liturgical language of the Ethiopian Orthodox church, and it is one of Ethiopia's two main languages along with Oromo (Britannica). Since 2020, Afaan Oromo, Tigrinya, Somali and Afar share federal working-language status with Amharic. People searching for Ethiopian translation usually need Amharic, but a document may be in one of these other languages, so tell Tomedes which one before ordering.

Something unique about Amharic

Amharic uses a slightly modified form of the Ge'ez alphabet, with 33 basic characters that each take seven forms depending on the vowel. Verbs change with the person, number and gender of the subject, which is one reason machine output needs a native check on formal text.

Why Ethiopic script needs a careful file check

The Ethiopic script is covered by Unicode, so properly encoded files display consistently across systems. Fonts and layout are the usual weak point, especially in PDFs and design files. Tomedes checks encoding and fonts before delivery and can rebuild the layout through desktop publishing.

Commonly translated Amharic phrases

The Amharic script is an abugida, a writing system in which each character combines a consonant with a vowel. Amharic has no single standard Romanization, so the Romanized spellings below vary between sources.

Hello (informal)

Selam. (ሰላም)

How are you? (informal, to a man)

Endemin neh? (እንደምን ነህ)

How are you? (informal, to a woman)

Endemin nesh? (እንደምን ነሽ)

Fine, thank you.

Dehna negn. (ደህና ነኝ)

My name is ______.

Sime ______ yibalal. (ስሜ ______ ይባላል)

Pleased to meet you.

Siletewawekin des bilognal. (ስለተዋወቅን ደስ ብሎኛል)
