All Proverbs

እኔ ሙቼ እኔው ቄስ ጠርቼ

✦

“I died, and I myself called the priest.”

Meaning

This proverb is a humorous and ironic way of describing a situation where someone is forced to do everything themselves, even things that are logically impossible or that others should do for them. It expresses the absurdity of having to arrange one's own funeral, metaphorically speaking, because no one else is helping or taking initiative. It implies being burdened with all responsibilities.

ትርጉም

ይህ ምሳሌ አንድ ሰው ሁሉንም ነገር በራሱ እንዲሠራ መገደዱን በአስቂኝ ሁኔታ ይገልጻል። በተለይ ሌሎች ሊያደርጉለት የሚገባውን ሥራ ጭምር ራሱ ሲያከናውን ያለውን ከንቱነትና ሸክም ያሳያል።
