ተማሪ ውሻ ቀባሪ

ትርጉም

This proverb is often used critically. It means that someone who is expected to learn, be productive, or fulfill a specific role (like a student) is instead engaged in unproductive, destructive, or mischievous activities. The term 'dog' (ውሻ) is used somewhat derogatorily, and 'burier' (ቀባሪ) implies digging holes, often suggesting mischief or wasted effort rather than constructive work. It points to a subordinate or learner who is not fulfilling their intended purpose.

ይህ ብሂል ብዙውን ጊዜ ትችት ለመስጠት ያገለግላል። ሊማር ወይም ፍሬያማ መሆን የሚገባው ሰው ከዚህ ይልቅ አጥፊ፣ ጎጂ ወይም ከንቱ በሆኑ ተግባራት መጠመዱን ያሳያል። 'ውሻ' የሚለው ቃል በአሉታዊ መልኩ ጥቅም ላይ ውሏል፣ 'ቀባሪ' ደግሞ ጉድጓድ መቆፈርን ያመለክታል፣ ይህም ጠቃሚ ከሆኑ ነገሮች ይልቅ ለጥፋት ወይም ለብልግና መስራትን ይጠቁማል።
