የምላስ ወለምታ በቅቤ አይታሽም

✦

“A sprain of the tongue cannot be massaged with butter.”

Meaning

This proverb means that the damage caused by hurtful or ill-spoken words cannot be easily undone or soothed, unlike a physical sprain which might be treated with butter (a traditional remedy). It emphasizes the lasting impact of words and the difficulty of retracting them.
