Explanation:
The word blessing is not commonly used in sentences but as a name for males. However different variations of the word bless are used very commonly. Eg. God bless you = Geta yebarkeh (m) yebarkish(f).

Explanation:
Two terms are used for this word in Amharic, one in spiritual related and the other non spiritual. We use the first term if it was a priest and the second if it was a family member.

Example sentence(s):
  • He was blessed by his father.
