ተለጣጭ የጎረቤቷን ድልህ አሟጣጭ

✦

“A sticky person (or one who is always present), finishing off his neighbor's 'dilih.'”

Meaning

This proverb describes a parasitic or freeloading neighbor (or person) who is always present, intruding, and taking advantage of others' resources, specifically consuming their food ('dilih' - a spicy ground mixture). It criticizes those who exploit the generosity of others, sticking around to benefit without contributing.

ትርጉም

ይህ ምሳሌ የጎረቤቱን 'ድልህ' (የተፈጨ ቅመም ያለበት ምግብ) እየጨረሰ የሚኖር 'ተለጣጭ' ሰው (ሁሌም ቅርብ የሆነ ወይም የሚያስቸግር) ይገልጻል። በሌሎች ላይ ጥገኛ የሆኑ እና የሌሎችን ሀብት የሚበዘብዙ ሰዎችን ይተቻል።
