ከወንድም ደረቅ ከወጥ መረቅ

ትርጉም

This proverb highlights disappointment from a close relationship. It implies that one expects kindness or support from a brother but instead receives harshness or stinginess ('dryness'), while from a stew, one naturally expects rich broth. It's used when someone close acts contrary to expectations, particularly in a negative way.

ከወንድም ዝምድና ደግነትና እገዛ ሲጠበቅ፣ ደረቅነት ወይም መጥፎ ባህሪ መገኘት; ከወጥ ደግሞ ጥሩ መረቅ ሲጠበቅ እንደሚያገኙ ያሳያል። ከቅርብ ሰው የሚጠበቀው ነገር ሲታጣና ተቃራኒው ሲገኝ የሚገለጽ ነው።
