معنی
A student who performs well.
زمینه فرهنگی
In the highlands, academic success is often celebrated with a 'Dabo' (bread) cutting ceremony or a special meal of 'Doro Wat' (chicken stew). Private schools in Addis Ababa often have 'Gobez Temari' of the month posters to motivate students. In the diaspora, parents use this phrase to encourage children to maintain their heritage while succeeding in Western schools. In traditional church schools, a 'Gobez' student was one who could memorize the 'Dawit' (Psalms) the fastest.
