When you use it
Use this when a question asks you to pick out the verb of a sentence (mataa gaalee) and the words that complete or modify it (miiltoo).
Watch out
Do not put a level-two word straight under the verb. In the chapter's example, meetira kuma kudhaniin modifies madaaliyaa warqee, not fudhate, so it is miiltoo sadarkaa lammaffaa (level two).

When you use it
Reach for this when asked to pick out simple sentences (himoota salphaa) from a longer sentence (himoota dachaa) or to rewrite one.
Watch out
Count the verbs, not the commas. Each verb gets its own simple sentence with the subject. The example Gammadeen Aggaarootii buna bittee Finfinnee geessitee gurgurte has three verbs (bitte, geessite, gurgurte), so it gives three simple sentences, and the subject Gammadeen is repeated in each.

| Reply | What the reply says |
|---|---|
| First reply | Refusal: "lakki siifi miiltoowwan kee bulchuu hindandeenyu" (we cannot let you and your feet rest here) |
| Second reply | Neither a clear yes nor a clear no: the traveller is allowed to rest in a dallanaa or mufataa, a side or sheltered spot |
| Third reply | Full welcome: "maaloo koottaa seenaa; manni kan Waaqaati" (come in, the house belongs to God) |
When you use it
Reach for this when a reading question asks what answer a traveller may receive when asking an Oromo household for lodging.
Watch out
Students often take the first reply, the refusal, as the Oromo norm. The text says that refusing a guest is not accepted in Oromo custom, and that the Oromo are known for hospitality.
