When visiting someone's home, using 'ታምር ነው' to describe their food or home is seen as a sign of great respect and appreciation for their hospitality. On platforms like Facebook and Instagram, 'ታምር ነው' is a very common comment on photos of weddings, graduations, or travel, serving as a high-tier 'like'.
