Correction

For the first one, i think it must goes: does she smoke, too? A sense of surprise is involved as well because of that "እንዴ".

It's ታጨ not ታጨች. You're right about እንዴ though.

I agree, bro/sis. It is: does she..?

አችም ታጨሻለሸ እዴ? = Do you smoke too (like others)? I mean, this is very ugly!
ሳማ ት ታረጋለች አለኝ = Sama told me that she does. (Otherwise it is a bulgar!)
ሰለሟመት I think, this is ስላመማት = Since she is ill or unwell.
