意味
Tea with sugar or honey.
文化的背景
Tea is often served in small glasses called 'Sini'. It is common to see people stirring their tea for a long time to dissolve the large amount of sugar provided. In Eastern Ethiopia, tea is almost always 'ጣፋጭ' and heavily spiced with cardamom and cinnamon, reflecting the region's history as a trade hub. In the capital, 'ጣፋጭ ሻይ' is the fuel of the working class, often enjoyed at small kiosks during 'Shay-S'at' (tea time). In rural areas, honey (Mar) is sometimes used instead of sugar to make the tea 'ጣፋጭ', especially in honey-producing regions like Gojjam.
Sugar is the default
If you don't want sugar, you must say 'ያለ ስኳር' (yale sikwar - without sugar).
It's VERY sweet
Ethiopian sweet tea is often much sweeter than what Westerners are used to.

The Stirring Ritual
Stirring your tea is a common habit while chatting; it doesn't always mean the sugar isn't dissolved yet.
