ድሀ ሲናገር ሬት ኮሶ ሀብታም ሲናገር የማር በሶ
✦
“When the poor speak, it's bitter 'ret' and 'koso'; when the rich speak, it's 'mar besso' (honey paste).”
Meaning
This proverb highlights social inequality and bias in how people's words are perceived based on their economic status. It means that the words of the wealthy are often received positively, pleasantly, and with respect (like sweet honey bread, 'mar besso'), while the words of the poor, even if they contain truth or wisdom, are often dismissed, considered unpleasant, or bitter (like traditional bitter medicines, 'ret koso').

ይህ ብሂል የህብረተሰቡ አድሎአዊነትን ያሳያል። የሀብታሞችና የባለስልጣናት ንግግር ሁልጊዜ ጣፋጭና ተቀባይነት ያለው (እንደ ማር በሶ) ሲሆን፣ የድሆች ንግግር ግን፣ እውነት ቢሆንም እንኳ፣ እንደ መራራና የማይረባ (እንደ ሬትና ኮሶ) ተደርጎ እንደሚወሰድ ይገልጻል።
