ያልወለድኩት ልጅ አባዬ ቢለኝ አፌን ዳባ ዳባ አለኝ

✦

“A child I didn't give birth to called me 'Daddy,' and my mouth said 'Daba daba' (stammered/got confused).”

Meaning

This proverb illustrates the confusion and uncertainty of what to say or do when faced with an unexpected or surprising situation. Just as a man would be confused about what to say if a child he didn't father called him 'Daddy,' it signifies bewilderment in the face of an unforeseen event.

ይህ ምሳሌ የሚያመለክተው አንድ ሰው ያልተጠበቀ ወይም አስገራሚ ነገር ሲያጋጥመው የሚፈጠረውን ግራ መጋባትና ምን ማለት እንዳለበት አለማወቅ ነው። ያልወለደው ልጅ 'አባዬ' ሲለው ሰውየው ምን ማለት እንዳለበት ግራ እንደተጋባ ሁሉ፣ ያልተጠበቀ ክስተት ሲፈጠር ግራ መጋባትን ያሳያል።
