Kandiro kanoenda kunobva kamwe.
- Translation
- “A small plate goes where another came from.”
- Meaning
- Kindness is returned. Help those who help you, and good deeds will come back to you.
Notes
Neighbours traditionally share food by sending a dish over. The plate is returned with something in it, never empty.
