All Proverbs

ውሀ ለቀደመ ግዳይ ለፈለመ

✦

“Water for the first, prey for the one who first boils it.”

Meaning

It means "first come, first served." The one who arrives first has priority for the water, and the one who prepares the prey first has the right to it. It emphasizes that those who act first or take initiative have a rightful claim.

ትርጉም

ማንኛውንም ነገር ቀድሞ የደረሰ ወይም ጥረት ያደረገ ለሱ እንደሚገባው ያሳያል። ቀድሞ የመጣው ውሀውን እንደሚወስድ፣ አደንንም ቀድሞ ያበሰለው እንደሚወስድ ሁሉ ቅድሚያ የወሰደው የነገሩ ባለቤት ይሆናል ማለት ነው።
