All Proverbs

ለሞኝ ንገረው ምን ይሰማ ብዬ ለብልህ ንገረው ምን ይሳተው ብዬ

✦

“To the fool, I said, 'What will he hear?' To the clever, I said, 'What will he miss?'”

Meaning

This proverb implies the futility of explanation or teaching in certain situations. It's pointless to teach a fool because they won't understand, and it's also unnecessary to teach a clever person because they will grasp it quickly or already know. It highlights that efforts to impart knowledge can sometimes be unproductive due to the recipient's capacity or existing intelligence.

ትርጉም

ይህ ብሂል አንድን ነገር ለማስተማር ወይም ለማስረዳት ሲሞከር ሊያጋጥም የሚችለውን ከንቱነት ይገልጻል። ሞኝ ሰው ቢነገረውም ሊረዳው ስለማይችል ማውራት ትርጉም የለውም፤ ብልህ ሰው ደግሞ በራሱ ስለሚረዳው ወይም በቀላሉ ስለሚቀበለው እሱንም ማስተማር አያስፈልግም ማለት ነው።
