Accommodation

1. ክፍሊ ክርኢ ይከኣል ድዩ?

   Kifli kiri'i yikeal diyu?

   May I see the room first?

   Usage

   Asks to look at a room before taking it.

   Grammar Note

   ክርኢ is the ክ- form of "to see"; ይከኣል ድዩ = "is it possible", the frame of the earlier "ኣብዚ ክሓምብስ ይከኣል ድዩ?".

2. ኣቑሑ ጉዕዞይ ኣብዚ ክገድፍ ይከኣል ድዩ?

   Aqhuhu gu'zoy abzi kigedif yikeal diyu?

   Can I leave my luggage here?

   Usage

   Asks to leave luggage, for example after checking out.

   Grammar Note

   ኣቑሑ ጉዕዞይ = "my travel goods" (the same words as in the earlier airport luggage card). ክገድፍ is the ክ- form of ገደፈ ("leave", the same root as Wikivoyage's ግደፈኒ); a native check is recommended.

3. ተወሳኺ ዓራት የድልየኒ

   Tewesakhi arat yedliyeni

   I need an extra bed

   Usage

   Says what you need. The same form for a male or female speaker.

   Grammar Note

   የድልየኒ = "it is needed by me" (a verb with the "to me" suffix -ኒ). ዓራት = "bed" (5 hits in Tatoeba); ተወሳኺ = "extra", used in earlier cards.

4. ቆጸራ ክፍሊ ኣለኒ

   Qotsera kifli aleni

   I have a room booking

   Usage

   Tells the front desk that you have a booking.

   Grammar Note

   ቆጸራ ክፍሊ = "appointment room". ቆጸራ is glossed "appointment" in the dictionary and Tatoeba has the form ቆጸራ ኣሎኒ; no dedicated word for a hotel booking was found, so this is composed and a native check is recommended.
