የድፍድፍ ኩራቱ ውሀ እስኪገባ ነው

✦

“The pride of a `difdif` (earth dam/heap) is until water enters.”

Meaning

The strength of something or someone's pride is truly tested when it faces a challenge or adversity. Just as an earth dam might collapse when water pressure builds, a person's pride can similarly be broken when confronted with difficulties. It means pride is easily shattered by adversity.

የአንድ ነገር ጥንካሬ ወይም የአንድ ሰው ኩራት የሚፈተነው በችግር ሲገጥመው ነው። ድፍድፉ ውሀ ሲሞላበት እንደሚፈርስ፣ የሰውም ኩራት በተመሳሳይ መልኩ በፈተና ሊፈርስ ይችላል።
