Maayiin fiilmii ilaaluuf barbaaddi. Hiriyyaa ishee gaarii Liisaa waliin gara sinimaa deemuu barbaaddi.
Mai searches for a film to watch. She wants to go to the cinema with her best friend, Lisa.
Maayiin iskuutara ishee fudhattee gara sinimaa deemti. Achitti wal arguuf walii galaniiru.
Mai takes her scooter to the cinema. They have agreed to meet there.
Sinimaa irratti nagaa gaafatu. Fiilmii kana arguuf gammachuu guddaatu itti dhagahame.
At the cinema they say hello. They are excited to see the film.
Maayiin iddoo tikkeettii bitan irraa lamaan isaaniif tikkeettii bitte.
Mai buys tickets for both of them at the ticket counter.
Liisaan fandishaa fudhattee Maayiin ammoo soodaa qaruuraa lama bitte.
Lisa takes the popcorn while Mai buys two bottles of soda.
Fiilmii kana ilaaluuf osoo hin seenin dura tikkeettii isaanii agarsiisan.
They show their tickets before they go inside to watch the film.
Teessoo isaanii barbaadu. Fiilmiin sun dursee waan jalqabeef dukkanaa’eera.
They look for their seats. It is dark because the film has already started.
Fiilmii jaalalaati. Sun gosa isaan jaallatanidha.
It is a romantic film. That is their favourite kind.
Fiilmii booda nagaa walitti dhaamanii gara manaatti deebi’u.
After the film they say goodbye and go home.
