ጠላትህን ውሀ ሲወስደው እንትፍ ብለህ ጨምርበት

“When water takes your enemy, spit and add to it.”

Meaning

This is a very harsh proverb that expresses extreme animosity towards an enemy. It means that when your enemy is in trouble or facing ruin, you should not only refrain from helping them but actively contribute to their downfall, even with a seemingly small, symbolic act like spitting.

ትርጉም

በጠላት ላይ ከፍተኛ ጥላቻን የሚገልጽ አባባል ሲሆን፣ ጠላት ለችግር ወይም ለጥፋት ሲዳረግ ምንም አይነት ርህራሄ ሳይደረግበት ይልቁንስ ለጥፋቱ መጨመር እንዳለበት ያመለክታል።
