Internet & WiFi

1. ኢንተርነት ኣሎዶ?

   Internet alodo?

   Is there internet access?

   Usage

   Asks whether there is internet access.

   Grammar Note

   ኣሎ ("there is") plus the question enclitic -ዶ asks "is there X?". ኢንተርነት occurs 7 times in Tatoeba, spelled with ነ rather than ኔ.

2. ኢንተርነት ኣይሰርሕን ኣሎ

   Internet ayserhin alo

   The internet is not working

   Usage

   Said when the connection does not work.

   Grammar Note

   ኣይሰርሕን ኣሎ = "is not working", taken from Tatoeba's "መርበብ ኢንተርነት ጽቡቕ ኣይሰርሕን ኣሎ'ዶ" ("is my internet connection not working right?").

3. ኢንተርነት ምጥቃም ክፍሊት ኣለዎዶ?

   Internet mitqam kiflit alewodo?

   Is there a charge for using the internet?

   Usage

   Asks whether internet use costs extra, for example at a hotel.

   Grammar Note

   ምጥቃም = "using". The sentence turns Tatoeba's "ኣብቲ ሆቴል ኢንተርነት ምጥቃም ዝያዳ ክፍሊት ኣለዎ" ("there is an extra charge for internet use at the hotel") into a question with -ዶ; ኣለዎ = "it has".

4. ፓስዎርድ እንታይ እዩ?

   Paswerd entay iyu?

   What is the password?

   Usage

   Asks for a password, for example for an internet connection. No verified word for Wi-Fi was found, so the card asks for the password in general.

   Grammar Note

   ፓስዎርድ is a loanword found in Tatoeba's "እቲ ፓስዎርድ ብውሕዱ ሽዱሽተ ቅሻረት ክህልዎ ኣለዎ". እንታይ እዩ = "what is it".
