Ukaenda kunzvimbo yausingazivi nezvayo unoita souri pakati pamasango. Nyangwe uri mungwaru wakadii haugoni kuziva nezvenyika isiri yako panguva yaunenge uchangosvika mairi.
English Translation
Anywhere that is not your own place is wild bush to you. In unfamiliar surroundings even a very clever person feels lost, because no one can learn a new place in the short time just after arriving.
Cultural Context
“Said of the bewilderment of a newcomer or stranger who has not yet found his bearings in an unfamiliar area.”
