뜻
Encouraging a male person.
문화적 배경
The phrase is deeply embedded in religious life. Priests often say 'አትፍራ' to congregants to remind them of God's protection. Historically, showing fear was a sign of weakness in the 'Arbegna' (patriot) culture. 'At-fira' was a common encouragement among soldiers. In the capital, 'At-fira' is used in business and entrepreneurship to encourage young people to start new ventures despite economic risks. Parents use 'At-fira' to build 'gobez-net' (bravery/cleverness) in their sons from a very young age.
