意味
Telling someone to disregard something.
文化的背景
In Addis Ababa, 'Chel belew' is part of the 'Arada' lifestyle, which values being unshakeable and street-smart. In rural areas, 'Chel malet' is still often viewed negatively as a sign of laziness or neglecting one's farm or family duties. In the US or Europe, Habesha communities use this phrase to maintain a sense of 'home' and shared humor about life's frustrations. There is a spiritual dimension to 'ignoring' worldly temptations, though the slang phrase is secular.
