Clothes
Things you wear; the white shamma is traditional dress.
ለበዓል አዲስ ልብስ ገዛሁ።
I bought new clothes for the holiday.
'ልብስ' (libs) is derived from ancient roots meaning 'to cover,' signifying clothing's purpose in protection and adornment of the body.
'ልብስ' is frequently used in both formal and informal contexts in everyday conversation as well as in writing. Variations may exist among different ethnic groups.
