All Proverbs

ለብልህ ንገረው ምን ይስተው ብዬ ለሞኝ ንገረው ምን ይገባው ብዬ

✦

“Tell the clever one, saying 'What does he miss?' Tell the fool, saying 'What does he understand?'”

Meaning

This proverb questions the efficacy of giving advice when the recipient is at either extreme of intelligence. It suggests that giving advice to a clever person is redundant because they likely already know or will figure it out, and giving advice to a foolish person is futile because they won't comprehend or appreciate it, thus rendering the effort pointless.

ትርጉም

ይህ ምሳሌ ለአንድ ሰው ምክር መስጠት ምን ያህል ከንቱ ሊሆን እንደሚችል ይገልጻል። ብልህ ሰው ቀድሞውንም ሊያውቀው ስለሚችል ወይም በቀላሉ ስለሚረዳው፣ ሞኝ ደግሞ ምንም ያህል ቢነገረው ስለማይገባው፣ ምክር መስጠት ፋይዳ እንደሌለው ያሳያል።
