ያብዬን እከክ ወደ እምዬ ላከከ

“He scratched grandfather's itch towards grandmother.”

Meaning

This proverb describes someone who passes their problem or responsibility to another person. 'Itch' (እከክ) refers to an annoying problem. Instead of directly solving their own problem (grandfather's itch), the person directs it to another (grandmother), illustrating an evasion of responsibility or dumping one's problems onto someone else.
