Mageria nomo, mahota.

Trials mean success.

The traditional proverb and the postproverbial differ in that the former is generic and metaphorical, and the latter is specific and straightforward. In the postproverbial, success is depicted as a direct outcome of successive trials.

• Postproverbial: Mageria nomo, macokaga kũhotithia mũndũ.
  Translation: Trials eventually make a person to succeed.
