ዘመደ ብዙ ጠላው ቀጭን ነው

✦

“One with many relatives has thin 'tella' (traditional beer).”

Meaning

This proverb highlights the potential burden or dilution of resources that comes with having a large extended family. While seemingly a blessing, having many relatives often means that resources, attention, or hospitality (represented by 'tella,' a traditional homemade beer which can be diluted) must be stretched thin among many. It implies that widespread family ties can sometimes dilute individual support or create numerous demands.

ብዙ ዘመድ መኖሩ የራሱ የሆነ ሸክም እንዳለው ያሳያል። ብዙ ዘመድ ቢኖረውም፣ ያለው ነገር ሁሉ ለብዙዎች መከፈል ስላለበት፣ እንደ ጠላ የመሳሰሉ ነገሮች ቀጭን ወይም ያነሰ እንደሚሆኑ ይገልጻል። ይህም በብዙ ዘመዶች ምክንያት ሀብት፣ ትኩረት ወይም እንግዳ ተቀባይነት እንደሚበታተን ያመለክታል።
