ዘር ልትበደር ሂዳ እህል ሲሸት መጣች

✦

“She went to borrow seeds and came back smelling of grain.”

Meaning

This proverb implies that someone went for one purpose (to borrow seeds) but returned with something else, possibly more advantageous or unexpected (smelling of grain, implying they acquired grain rather than just seeds). It can suggest someone getting more than they asked for, or perhaps getting involved in something else while pursuing their original goal, sometimes with a hint of being opportunistic.

አንድ ሰው አንድ ነገር ሊወስድ ሄዶ ሌላ ነገር ሲያገኝ ወይም ከሄደበት ዓላማ ውጭ የሆነ ጥቅም ሲያገኝ ያሳያል። እህል ሲሸት መምጣቷ ዘር ለመበደር ሄዳ ሌላ ትርፍ ይዛ መምጣቷን ያሳያል።
