Post by or1 » 13 Dec 2019, 17:14

qorra means chilly, cold, ብርድ (amharic).
does ቈራሪ has the same meaning?

Both qurr and barid are semitic words which are shared by Tigrigna,Arabic,Amharic and possibly Oromiffa.

Good Day Sir

First of its called *Tigrinya* not tigrigina. Secondly it's written as ቖራሪ-ቆራሪ meaning a very cold place or object . BTW: ONLY US ERITREANS SPEAK AND WRITE FLUENT TIGRINYA.

Good Day Sir

There is no word called qorra in Eritrean tigrigna.
Yes 'cold' in our pure Eritrean tigrigna language is qurri.
Completely different words.
Yes 'qorari' is an adjective which means one who gets coldqurri or we can say such place is qorari as in it is a cold place.
But as it is written-qurrari, we do not have such word.
