Saro-Tiavina Toa Landy Mohaka

This proverb means that some people can be difficult to love despite their pleasant appearance. Moha silk or wild silk is beautiful and luxurious but can be challenging to handle. Similarly, a person may seem attractive and charming, but their true nature can be complex and hard to accept. An equivalent proverb in English would be ‘Don’t judge a book by its cover’, illustrating the idea that appearances can be deceiving and that love can be complicated.
