Description


This combination Tigrinya phrasebook and two-way Tigrinya-English dictionary is an essential reference while traveling in Eritrea and Ethiopia. The Hippocrene Dictionary & Phrasebook series allows you be a traveler, not a tourist, by connecting with the local culture and people in their native language.

Tigrinya (also written as Tigrigna) is an Afro-Asiatic language spoken by about 7 million people, primarily in Eritrea and Ethiopia. Tigrinya is written in the same Ge'ez script used for the Ethiopic language Amharic, but Tigrinya grammar and usage differs significantly from Amharic. This unique, two-part resource provides travelers to Eritrea and Ethiopia with the tools they need for daily interaction. The bilingual dictionary has a concise vocabulary for everyday use, and the phrasebook allows instant communication on a variety of topics.

Ideal for businesspeople, travelers, students, and aid workers, this guide includes:

  • 4,000 dictionary entries
  • Phonetics that are intuitive for English speakers
  • Essential phrases on topics such as transportation, dining out, and business
  • Concise grammar and pronunciation sections
