Fans often shout 'ይመችህ!' to singers on stage as a way of saying 'Keep it up!' or 'You're killing it!' On Telegram (the most popular app in Ethiopia), 'ተመቸኝ' is the standard comment for a shared meme or track.

Yes, but it usually means you like their 'vibe' or style. If you mean 'I am in love with you,' use 'አፈቅርሃለሁ/ሻለሁ'.

Only if the business environment is very casual (like a startup or with close colleagues). Otherwise, use 'ተስማምቶኛል' (It agrees with me).

አልተመቸኝም (Al-temecceñ-im) - I didn't like it / It didn't suit me.
