Amharic term or phrase: ያመቻል
Greetings

Again, this is from Colloquial Amharic. It's on page 255, at the end of the dialogue.
ፒተር፡ ምግብ ቤት ስትዪ ራበኝ። ስለዚህ እንሂድና እንብላ። በዚያውም ካንዳንድ ተማሪዎች ጋር ለመገናኘት ያመቻል።

The following is a rough translation:
PETER When you mention a canteen, I feel hungry. So let’s go and eat. In that way it’ll be an opportunity to meet some students.

Please let me know the exact meaning of ያመቻል, and what three-letter (or two-letter) root it is from. Is it, for example, አመቸ, in the past "he" form?

Best wishes, and many thanks,

Convenient
Explanation:
Leslau English Amharic dictionary translates convenient as ምቹ, ያመቸ. Note that ያመቻል is an inflection of ያመቸ. The last sentence in your example, በዚያውም ካንዳንድ ተማሪዎች ጋር ለመገናኘት ያመቻል። can be translated as It will also be convenient to meet some students.

Yes, as you mentioned, the root verb is አመቸ which means to be convenient
