Congratulations are often seen as a recognition of God's favor. People might say 'God be praised' alongside the phrase. In the capital, young people often mix Amharic with English, but 'Enkwan des alesh' remains the most sincere way to express joy. In the US or Europe, this phrase is a vital way for the community to maintain cultural ties during celebrations. Congratulations are often loud and public. If a woman achieves something, the whole village might use this phrase during a feast.
