KISWAHILI: AKILI HAZIONGEZEANWI.

Chanzo cha msemo huo chaangalia akili za mtu. Akili hizo huwa kichwani mwake mtu alizopewa na Muumba wake. Kwa hiyo basi, mtu akikosea neno fulani, huonywa na wenzake ili ajifunze.

Lakini akikosea tena mtu huyo maana yake, akili zake hunesha kwamba, zimekomea hapo, wao hawawezi kuziongeza. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, ‘akili haziongezeanwi.’

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hukosea mara kwa mara, maishani mwake. Mtu huyo huwasumbua wenzake kwa sababu ya akili zake hizo, ambazo humsababisha kutendo maovu. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, ‘akili haziongezeanwi.’

ENGLISH: INTELLIGENCIES DO NOT ADD TO EACH OTHER.

The essence of the above saying looks at one’s intelligence.  Intelligence is considered to be in one’s head as given by his/her Creator. If someone fails to do something someone else can help to correct it with the aim of making him/her learn. But, if it happens that that person keeps on repeating the same mistake then the conclusion is that his/her intelligence ends up there. He/she cannot stretch it further. That is why people can describe this scenario using the saying that ‘intelligencies do not add to each other.’

The saying can be compared to a person who repeatedly makes mistakes in his/her life. Such a person can bother others who witness those mistakes. He/she appears to justify that his/her capacity in thinking has ended and no one can add more to what he/she has in mind.

The saying teaches people about having patience in living with others with different capacities and personalities.

Hunagwene umunhu ng’wunuyo, agayombaga giki, ‘nakakumbulaga akanigo kane.’

Akahayile kenako kalanga bhanhu higulya ya gushosha wangu iginhu ijo bhalanda ukubhinikili, kugiki.bhadule gwikala halumo bho bhutogwa na bhichabho, umuwikaji bhobho.

This person, because of extreme joy, may overfeed thus, instead of making people continue enjoying the event they end up getting a new and tragic story of someone who suffers from overfeeding.

The saying teaches people to stop making derogatory remarks. This will enable them to have good life people around them.

ENGLISH: THE POOL IS DRY.

The source of the above saying comes from the dried pool that was a source of life of acquatic organisms such as frogs, fish, etc. The drying of the pool means death to these organisms.

This saying can be compared to rich people who tend to help others to make their ends meet. If it happens that the rich person dies or runs bankrupt it means that those who depend on him/her suffer miserably. That is why those people say ‘the pool is dry’ to communicate the suffering they undergo after their benefactor having either died or run bankrupt.

The saying teaches people to do their jobs they can for their own needs. They should’t depend so much on fellow human beings rather be independent. In so doing, they won’t have worries in life.
