意思
Trading items for money.
文化背景
In Mercato, the largest market in Africa, 'እቃ መሸጥ' is a high-energy activity. Sellers often use rhythmic chants to attract customers. When selling items, it is culturally expected to start with a higher price and allow the buyer to negotiate down. This is seen as a social bonding exercise. During holidays like Enkutatash (New Year) or Genna (Christmas), 'እቃ መሸጥ' reaches its peak. Street vendors appear everywhere selling traditional items. Modern Ethiopians use Telegram channels to 'እቃ መሸጥ'. It has changed the culture from face-to-face bargaining to digital negotiation.
