ተማሪና ዶሮ በሞቱ ክቡር ነው በቁመናው እራቱ ጥሬ ነው

✦

“A student and a chicken are valuable (honored) in their death; in their life, their food is raw (simple/unprocessed).”

Meaning

This proverb implies that a student might endure hardship and humble living conditions, but their knowledge and future contributions (or their legacy) become valuable and honored later, much like a chicken which is often less valued alive but becomes valuable as food after death. It speaks to enduring hardship for future reward or recognition.

ይህ ምሳሌ ተማሪ በህይወት ዘመኑ ብዙ ችግር እና የረሀብ ወቅት ሊያሳልፍ ይችላል ነገር ግን እውቀቱን ተምሮ ሲጨርስ ወይም ሲሞት (ለሀገር ጥቅም ሲውል) ዋጋው ይታወቃል። ዶሮም እንዲሁ በህይወቷ ብዙ ነገር አትሰጥም ስትሞት ግን ለምግብነት ትጠቀማለች።
