መልክ ስጠኝ እንጂ ሙያ ከጎረቤቴ እማራለሁ

Meaning

This proverb humorously (or cynically) reflects a common human tendency to prioritize superficial qualities over practical skills. It suggests that if one has beauty, skills (like 'muya' - practical abilities or craftsmanship) can always be learned from others, implying that beauty is a more fundamental and less attainable gift. It can be a critique of valuing appearance over substance.
