Shona Definition
Nyaya iri yose inotonzi itaurwe kwete kuita zvokurwa. Munhu anoda kupedza mhosva yake nokurwa anonzi akundikana papfungwa dzake.
English Translation
Every dispute is meant to be talked through, not fought out. Reaching for violence to force a settlement is itself an admission that one has lost the argument.
Cultural Context
“Used to call disputants back to negotiation, especially as a rebuke to elders whose quarrelling sets a bad example for the young.”
