Shona Definition
Vanhu ndovokuudzana zvokuita. Kana une chaunoda kuziva, zvinobatsira kuti upiwe mazano navamwe vano ruzivo. Ukavimba noruzivo rwako chete, kazhinji unozoona kuti unokundikana.
English Translation
A sensible person never treats his own word as the last word, whereas a fool digs in and insists he is right. People are meant to advise one another, and leaning only on your own knowledge usually ends in failure.
Cultural Context
“Used to commend a readiness to learn from others and to rebuke someone who refuses advice.”
