意味
The sun disappearing in the evening.
文化的背景
The sunset marks the end of the 12th hour of the day. In Ethiopia, 12:00 (midday) on the clock is actually when the sun sets. Sunset is the time when many religious fasts are broken for the day. Sunset is a signal for safety; people try to be indoors to avoid wild animals like hyenas. Addis Ababa residents often go to hills like Entoto to watch the 'Tsehay Megbat' for leisure.
Gender Matters
Always use feminine verbs with the sun. It makes you sound much more like a native speaker.
Time Context
When someone says 'sunset,' they often mean 6:00 PM (12:00 Ethiopian time).
