3: Proverbs/Sayings Flashcards
Kawia ufike
Better late than never
Maji yakimwagika hayazoleki
Don’t cry over spilt milk
Mkuki kwa nguruwe, kwa mwanadamu uchungu
Do unto other, as you would have done to you
Haraka haraka haina baraka
Haste makes waste
Mtoto wa nyoka ni nyoka
Like father like son
Wapishi wengi huharibu mchuzi
Too many cooks spoil the broth
Elimu haina mwisho
You’re never too old to learn
Penye nia pana njia
Where there’s a will there’s a way
Usichague mchumba siku ya Idi.
Don’t judge a book by its cover
Aliye juu, mgoje chini
What goes up, must come down
Usitupe jongoo na mti wake
Don’t throw out the baby with the bathwater
Riziki ni kujaribu
Sustenance is to try
Ahadi ni deni
A promise is debt
Damu nzito kuliko maji
Blood is thicker than water
Debe tupu haliachi kuvuma
An empty pot makes the loudest noise
