ተማሪ ዘኬ ለቃሚ

✦

“A student (is) a gatherer of 'zeke' (leftovers/scraps).”

Meaning

'Zeke' refers to leftovers or discarded items, often in the context of food or small scraps. This proverb means that a student (especially one struggling or dedicated to learning) must be humble, diligent, and willing to seek knowledge or resources from whatever source, even if it means gathering small, seemingly insignificant pieces of information or assistance. It can also imply that students often have to make do with little, or collect whatever they can to learn.
