معنی
A common daily action involving milk.
زمینه فرهنگی
During fasting seasons, milk is strictly forbidden. If you are a guest, always ask if it is a fasting day before offering or requesting milk. In these regions, drinking camel milk (የግመል ወተት) is more common than cow milk. It is often drunk fresh and warm. In Addis Ababa, 'Macchiato' is king, but 'ትኩስ ወተት' (hot milk) is a very popular evening drink, often served in a glass with a side of sugar. Milk is used in 'Erecha' and other traditional ceremonies to symbolize peace and reconciliation.
