TOP DEFINITION
(Amharic, lit. 'my stomach') A quirky term of endearment meaning someone so dear that they are as vital as one's stomach. Ethiopians sometimes affectionately call a loved one 'hödey' implying 'you are my sustenance.' It's like saying 'my darling,' but literally 'my belly.'
"Hode, nege min alu? (Translation: My darling (my stomach), what did you say?)"
