What is this somali proverb

[bluebird]

This has been bothering me all day, but there was some maah maah that means something along the lines of don't expect fruits if you didn't plant the tree? Or don't expect good outcomes if you didn't put in the work.

 

[Dalmoor]

Is it this one "Nimaan shaqeysanin shaah macabo" kinda close

 

[Suldaanka]

How bout this one?

"Qof aan dhididin ma dhego"

It means you have to work to get your fill. (A person who doesn't sweat, doesn't get his/her fill)

Similar to this one "Nimaan shaqysanin shaah macabo/ waa ka xaaran"

I think I tried @SilverL

My favourite one is

Nimanka somaliyeed, waxay kuugu imaanayaan been. Waxay kula nool yihiin runta

Which translates that Somali men will bring you in closer with lies and they will live with you with the truth

I’m sure all the Somali single mothers will know what this means

It is “Naag Been baa lagu soo xero galiyaa, Runtana waa lagu dhaqaa”

Oh so you Somali men know about the saying and you still behave the way you do.

My Somali is poor but I’m very proud of that.

Have you heard about this one.

Naag waa kubbad oo kale, ama goal ku dhali ama ha lagaaga dhaliyo.

I heard this maahmaah in Gaalkacayo. It roughly means;

Women are like a soccer ball, you either score a goal with them or a goal scored against you.

It doesn't make sense in English. Ask @Crow
