If there is any one that who believes there is Tigrigna in Eritrea, he must be a person who do not know Tigrigna. There is no Tigrigna in Eritrea but semi -Tigrigna, -Italian and -arabic. So they have to rename it as Asmrigna or Eritrigna or better straight Italian or Itlao-artabic That is it. How ever this was not a severe problem. What is more severe with Eritreans is their identity crises. Unlike all people in the world these are people who feel proud to be colonized. Instead of being proud Africans they want to dream to be the aradas of Roma or Milano.
Tigreans - The more parctice you do, the sooner your accent changes. So, you need to do a lot on that front.
Back to your comment...
So these are Eritrean words???
lawzi,beyzakatkum,eney,hasas..komal adigrawetay, wedi may telamit...I could go and go on but those are enough for you for today.
I had two Tigrean friends here in London.But, they never ever spoke Tigrigna. The would rather hang themselves up rather than speaking Tigrigna. They used to speak in Amharic or English.The reason is so obvious - lack of self-esteem,lack of self-confidence etc...
Any foreigner in London is so proud to speak his/her language with his/her fellow countryman or with someone who speaks his/her language.But, I hardly understand why Tigreans are so shy to speak Tigrigna with Eritreans.
You guys, be proud of your identity,culture and language. The more parctice you do, the sooner your accent changes.

RE: Why do Eritreans could not speak Tigrigna but Ital
You don't have your own identity. You have bastardard culture and bastardized language. You can't speak a single sentence in Tigrina with out mixing it with Italian. Do you know that Italian dogs and cats were better treated than any dehumanized Eritrian when you were ruled by Italy? You were trated like a human being once you joined Ethiopia.
even your nick is amharanised let your language tigrigna
Eritreans are proud of thier Contribution to Free the enslaved Tigrayans
You have to know Colonialism was not a joke but we Eritreans as you know crushed it even the black colonialism.We are proud too of our tigrigna unlike you.But it is not the language that should be the case
it is about those poor tigrayans who died for liberating you and you are betrayed them by choosing slavery again under the astitutness of amharas.good bye southernneighbours deiqi may Telamit
Let us change the forum into Tigrigna and see who will speak pure Tigrigna and who will come up with an Italo-arabic semi-Tigrigna. No question and no doubt, the Hatsebiti Shehane Hammassien will appear on the front side. They begin and condlude all their statemts by Alora .... Alora.

The first time you were treated like a humanbeing was after you joined your mother land Ethiopia. During the time you were with us you were given every opportunity to prosper. Transport (all big buses and trucks) Hotels, Big Garages and many other facilities. This was true where ever you go in the country, including, AGARO-JIMMA, GIMBI and ARJOBEDELE where I grew up. Even governemnt jobs in communication and Eth. Airlines and adminstration were yours. You were treated equally like any other Ethiopian. But you choose to bite the hand that feed you. That is why we Ethiopians now call you "Kehadi Bandas!".
Don't worry about we southerners. We know where we belong and we are Ethiopians. We are not "kehadi Bandas" like you. From time memorial we fought for the exsistence of Ethiopia against colonialists, and no one liberated us from no one. We are part of our country's History, not bystanders. There is no Ethiopia without the oromo people and we are emperors and governers of Ethiopia. By the way, do you know Emperor Haileselassie was half Oromo? You guys are trying to divide Ethiopians on ethnic lines. It will not work. You have seen it in the last war and you will see it in the future. But you are stupid, you are trying again. We take pride from a shining non-colonized country History while you take pride from eating pasta!
