意思
Praising the taste of a meal.
文化背景
When you say 'Konjo Migib', a host might respond by giving you a 'Gursha' (feeding you a large morsel by hand). This is a sign of affection and respect. During fasting seasons (Tsom), 'Konjo Migib' refers to vegan dishes like Shiro and Misir. The variety of colors in a fasting platter makes the word 'Konjo' (beautiful) especially appropriate. While 'Migib' is for food, the snacks served with coffee (popcorn, bread) are also praised using 'Konjo'. The visual setup of the ceremony is part of the 'beauty'. It is considered polite to praise the food early in the meal. Waiting until the end might seem like you were unsure at first.
Use 'Betam'
Adding 'Betam' (very) makes you sound more enthusiastic and appreciative.
Smile while saying it
In Ethiopia, non-verbal cues are as important as the words. A smile confirms your 'Konjo' is sincere.
