All Proverbs

ድሀና ሹም ተሟግቶ ድንጋይና ቅል ተማትቶ የማይሆን ነው ከቶ

✦

“A poor person and an official arguing, a stone and a gourd fighting – it is impossible/it won't happen.”

Meaning

This proverb emphasizes the futility and inherent unfairness of a conflict between parties of vastly unequal power. It suggests that just as a stone will inevitably crush a gourd in a fight, a poor person cannot win an argument or dispute against a powerful official. It highlights the vulnerability of the weak against the strong and the injustice of such imbalances.

ይህ ምሳሌ የሚያሳየው ያልተመጣጠነ ኃይል ባላቸው አካላት መካከል የሚደረግ ውጊያ ወይም ክርክር መጨረሻ ላይ ደካማው ወገን ተጎጂ እንደሚሆን። ልክ ድንጋይ ቅልን እንደሚያሸንፍ ሁሉ፣ ድሀም ባለስልጣንን ሊያሸንፍ አይችልም።
