ያባት ወርቅ ባለዝና እህል ለቀጠና

ትርጉም

This proverb is used to describe a situation where an effort or a gift is given to someone who already has plenty or is well-off, making the gesture redundant or ineffective. It suggests that just as giving gold to a rich person or adding grain to an already full granary is pointless, so too can certain efforts or contributions be wasted if not directed where they are truly needed or appreciated. It emphasizes the futility of giving to those who lack nothing.
