  • Lol. I thought it was said hamoutay not hOmetay. it must be prounounced differently in ethio tigrina then?

    cause that is totally not an Eritrean way of saying inlaws.

  • you do know that not all tigrina speaking ppl speak like ppl from Asmera??

    ie. akeleguzay,anseba,or seraye in Eritrea!!

    Abiy Addi, Adigrat, Adwa,or Aksum, don't speak like ppl from Mek'ele(Tigray)!

    There is spelling variation in Tigrinya due to dialect difference, though in the past 40 to 50 years because of ppl interaction, free movement was more exercisable(technology) most small villages are losing their dialects!Hamasien dialect is slowly emerging as the standard::

    'w' LOVE

    PEACE!!

  • Axum cultur ;)

  • U all r right, its originally from an Eritrean Film name "N'ieshitey Hawey Kindi Hamutey", filmed based on a tale called "Milenu. The guy who posted this as Ethiopian/Eritrean is also right cos he want 2 refer it a Habesha Culture. I'm from Tigray, I've watched the film. It's Eritrean, which makes it Habesha.

    Don't forget we also have a huge part of this Tigrigna culture in Ethiopia/Tigray.

see all

  • @Niat1s Back then girls use to get married at 14 year on average. And the marriage decision use to be made by the families (families includes brothers, sisters uncle, aunt, and grand fathers).

    At 14 the girl must been shy and nervous. I think that is the reason why she was covered her face.

  • @ybayoyo It is not hammasien dialect that is emerging but a composition of all. Being Asmara is located in hamassien doesn't mean the language used there is from hamassien. Mostly Hamassien's dialects, in the villages which have no influence from their surroundings, could be not better than Seraye's.

    The standard which is used in media at this time is from mendefera(Tekela).

  • the movie is eritrean but the concept is ethiopian

  • Thats a eritrean wedding isnt it ?

  • Yeah, this was fron the great Movie Millenu, but why they saying it is Ethiopian?

  • this is from Eritrean Film Millenu, the best film ever

  • it don't matter if its eritrean or ethiopian

    and the lady is covered becouse shes supposed to leave all the worries and stuff there and open her eyes at her husbands house and become WEREJA which means a mature and responsible wedding

  • umm its an owsome movie watch the whole thing and its ethiopian /eritrean becouse we both have the same BAHLIE..... r u guys born out of ERITREA ....thats probably why ur talking like that becouse as an 18 year old born and raised in ERITREA it don't matter what the Title says its the culutre of all habeshan's both eritreawian and tigraweyti do it,

  • This is definitely Eritrean video. If anyone watches Eritrean movies you would know. Look at the actresses and actors, they're Eritrean. I know them very well. I don't know why they named it Ethiopian/Eritrean traditional wedding. don't post it as Ethiopian traditional wedding when it's not.
