thanks efrem.

thank you for the article baker. i printed it out for my mum.

Wha? Easter was LAST month, guys…

Just kidding. Have a good one! :smiley:

Happy Easter back at you.

Just curious, is that Tigrinya?

Yup, it is Tigrinya. Okay to be compilcated it is Ge’ez (an extinct language used by the Ethiopian/Eritrean church since 350AD in all functions), but Ge’ez to Tigrinya is like Latin to English. But, they both are still very close, and a lot of Tigrinya words are based in Ge’ez and um… the verb “Rehus” is used often in, er…

It is compilcated, so lets just say “it is a Tigrinya word not limited to just Tigrinya”. Yeah, that seems right :confused: .

Rehus - Enjoy, or Happy (as in “Have a happy…”)
Fasiga - Easter

You put them together to get “Rehus Fasiga” (or Happy Easter). Now go out and have one, SDMB.
