Why people convert Addis Ababa to Brazil time

Scheduling a call from Addis Ababa to Brazil: a 10:00 AM start in Addis Ababa lands at 4:00 AM in Brazil, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both Addis Ababa and Brazil are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM EAT time (9:00 AM–11:00 AM BRT). That is roughly 2 hours of usable overlap.
Watching a live event or market open: Addis Ababa viewers need 3:00 AM in Brazil to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 6:00 AM if the event is anchored to Addis Ababa.
