KISWAHILI: KITENDAWILI  – TEGA

MUWA WA MPAKANI HUUKATI: – DADA YAKO

Chanzo cha kitendawili hicho chatokea kwenye ukataji wa muwa wa mpakani. Muwa huo ni kitambulisho cha pale ambapo mali ya mtu inaishia na pale inapoanzia mali ya mtu mwingine. Mtu akiukata muwa huo, maana yake ameiondoa alama ya kitambulisho cha mpaka huo. Ndiyo maana watu huambiana kwamba, ‘muwa wa mpakani huukati: mwingine hujibu – dada yako.’

Kitendawili hicho hulinganishwa kwa mtu ambaye hutaka kumuoa dada yake. Dada huyo ni sawa na muwa huo wa mpakani. Kumbe basi, mtu haruhusiwi kumuoa ndugu yake wa tumbo moja. Ndiyo maana watu huambiana kwamba, ‘muwa wa mpakani huukati: mwenzake hujibu, dada yako.’

Kitendawili hicho hufundisha watu juu ya kushika maagizo yaliyomema katika jamii, ili waweze kupata mafanikio mengi maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: I HAVE A RIDDLE – LET IT COME

THE BORDERLINE SUGARCANE THAT SHOULD NOT BE CUT:- YOUR SISTER.

The source of this riddle comes from cutting borderline sugarcane. Such sugarcane functions as an identification post that marks the end of someone’s property and the beginning of another one’s property. Cutting the borderline sugarcane means disturbing some other people’s possessions.

This riddle can be compared to someone who wants to marry his sister. The sister is likened to the borderline sugarcane that a brother cannot dare to cut it, which implies that a brother is not allowed to marry his sister.

This riddle teaches people to abide by societal principles that make them become good members of the society who are capable of nurturing their families in a morally accepted manner.
