The creakings of the door deprives me of no sleep. What beats you is what teaches you. Msitukane wakunga na uzazi ungalipo. Mtaka cha mvunguni sharti ainame. A vessel running aground has no captain. He who stays to the side will not be hit by a falling tree.

Maelezo ya Methali za Kiswahili | Text Book Centre

A brother is as useful as a cooking pot and a neighbour is as useful as a cooking pot lid. Masikini haokoti, akiokota huambiwa kaiba. Njia ya mwongo fupi. Kwenye miti hakuna wajenzi. Mlaji ni mla leo; mla jana ni kalani?

Kamusi ya Methali maana na matumizi

Do not pretend to be a white fowl important person. Mtupa jongoo hutupa na mti wake. Serve even an unbeliever to attain your own ends.

Out of sight out of mind. He who slaughters does not hesitate skinning it. Kupanda mchongoma, kushuka ndio ngoma. Usisahau ubaharia kwa sababu ya unahodha. Dalili ya mvua mawingu.

A stranger is like a white fowl noticeble Mgeni njoo mwenyeji apone. One who keeps silent, endures. Mwenye kelele hana neno.

That which is written is the way it was is. Nia njema kammusi tabibu, nia mbaya huharibu. Water follows the current. Hakuna msiba usio na mwenziwe. He who fights with a wall will only hurt his hand. Moses declared himself to be a prophet, but Pharaoh declared himself to be God. Kipendacho moyo ni dawa. One who has kamussi does not need to be told to look.

When the cat’s away, the mice do play Paka hakubali kulala chali.

kiswaahili The skin of yesterday’s sugarcane is a havest to an ant. Swim with the current Maji huteremka bondeni hayapandi mlima. He who dips his finger into honey does not dip it once.

What has no end, will end itself. Kafiri akufaye si Isilamu asiyekufa.
