Meaning

Gacmo Gashi means gloves. It is a compound built from two words in the app: gacmo, hands, and gashi, from the verb for putting on, so a glove is literally what you put on your hands. Children in cold countries need this word far more than their grandparents ever did.

Tip: Gacmo, hands, is the plural of gacan, in the Face & Body topic.

Example sentences

Gacmo gashi xidho, waa qabow.Put on gloves, it is cold.
Gacmo gashi ma haysaa?Do you have gloves?
