معنی
A sunny or positive day.
زمینه فرهنگی
The phrase is heavily associated with the 'Bega' season (dry season) which runs from October to May, a time of harvest and festivals. Light (Berhan) is a theological concept representing the presence of God; thus, a 'bright day' is subconsciously linked to divine favor. In the fast-paced capital, 'Bruh Qen' is a quick, polite way to acknowledge someone without getting into a long conversation. A 'bright day' is essential for drying crops like Teff; therefore, it is a phrase of economic significance.
