意味
Things get worse before they get better.
文化的背景
In the highlands, the rainy season (Kiremt) turns all rivers brown. People know they must wait for the dry season for the water to clear. This seasonal cycle is the root of the proverb. The 'Jebena' (coffee pot) must be allowed to sit so the grounds settle. This 'settling' is a daily lesson in patience for every Ethiopian child. The idea that suffering leads to purification is central to the Ethiopian Orthodox faith, making this proverb resonate on a spiritual level. In the fast-growing capital, this proverb is used to justify the constant construction and traffic jams—the 'muddiness' of progress.
Use it for empathy
This is the best phrase to use when you don't know what else to say to someone in a mess. It shows you believe in their future.
Don't use for death
As mentioned, avoid using this during funerals. It's for 'fixable' messes, not permanent losses.
