ሽታና ግማት ላልሰማ ማውራት

✦

“Speaking of smell and stench to one who hasn't smelled.”

Meaning

This proverb means that it's futile to try to explain a concept or experience to someone who has no prior knowledge, direct experience, or understanding of it. It implies that certain things can only be truly grasped through direct experience, and attempting to convey them to an uninitiated person is a waste of effort.
