뜻
Someone who is easily moved to tears or pity.
문화적 배경
In the Amhara and Tigray regions, showing emotion (crying) at funerals is expected. Being 'Hod Lebaba' is seen as a sign of respect for the deceased. In Addis Ababa, young people use this phrase to describe their 'soft' friends affectionately, often in the context of watching Korean or Turkish dramas. The concept of 'Mihret' (Mercy) is central. Saints are often described with terms related to 'Hod Lebaba' to show their closeness to God's mercy. Classical novels like 'Fikir Eske Mekabir' use this trait to distinguish the 'good' characters from the 'villains' who are 'Hode Keter' (Hard-hearted).

자주 묻는 질문
5 질문No, it is used for both men and women. While women are more commonly described this way, a compassionate man is also called 'Hod Lebaba'.
Yes! 'እኔ ሆድ ለባባ ነኝ' (I am soft-hearted) is a very natural way to explain why you are crying or being generous.
Not exactly. It refers to emotional sensitivity, not necessarily a lack of physical or mental strength.
The opposite is 'ሆደ ደረቅ' (Hode Dereq - Dry stomach) or 'ጨካኝ' (Chekagn - Cruel).
It might be a bit too informal. Use 'ርኅሩኅ' (Ruhruhe) if you want to sound more professional about empathy.
