Signification
The right response to a question.
Contexte culturel
In Ethiopian schools, students are often called to the front to answer questions. Giving the 'ትክክለኛ መልስ' is a source of great pride for the family. When answering an elder, the 'right' answer must be delivered with 'Adeb' (respect). A factually correct answer given rudely is considered a 'wrong' social response. Ethiopian TV has many quiz shows where 'ትክክለኛ መልስ' is the most repeated phrase, often followed by applause and traditional music. In religious debates, finding the 'ትክክለኛ መልስ' often involves quoting scripture accurately. It is seen as a search for divine truth.
The 'The' Rule
Always remember to add '-u' to the adjective if you are talking about 'THE' correct answer: ትክክለኛው መልስ.
Avoid 'Qeny'
Never use 'ቀኝ' (qeny) for 'correct'. It only means the direction 'right'.
