ውሀ በእሳት ሰስ በዳገት

✦

“Water in fire, mud on a slope.”

Meaning

This proverb signifies two extremely difficult and seemingly impossible situations. Just as water cannot stay in fire, and soft, muddy ground (mire) cannot remain stable on a steep slope, it is used to describe a situation that is exceedingly difficult or impossible to achieve. It is particularly said when circumstances are very challenging and everything seems to go wrong, indicating incompatibility or inherent problems.
