  1. This proverb says that there is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out: because not knowing something is normal, but when you don't know something, you should try to find out what you don't know, but if you don't know something and you don't try to find out it becomes the real shame.

  2. The proverb "There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out" means that there is no shame in not knowing something. There is shame if you don't find out what you don't know. Trying to find out what you don't know is not shameful.

  3. First, I guess that this Russian Proverb says that not knowing something is not shameful or problematic because it’s ordinary, normal and human. Indeed, we are not able to know absolutely everything. Furthermore, it’s a new occasion to learn and to enrich our knowledge. Because before knowing we must necessarily ignore and then learn to finally know. Therefore it’s not a shame to admit that you don't know.
    On the contrary, this proverb says that the shame lies in not finding out, in not seeking to learn. In fact, not trying to learn is more shameful that don’t know because if you do not try you will never know, whereas if you don’t know but you choose to assume it and to learn you will know next time.
    Finally, I totally agree with this proverb because I believe that admitting that we ignore and wanting to learn is honorable and not shameful at all.

  5. This Russian proverb simply means that we are all human beings and that we are all destined to be ignorant in many areas. As the Greek philosopher Socrates says: what I know is that I don't know anything. ”There is no shame in not knowing things, it is normal.
    On the other hand, not discovering is something different. If you don't make the effort to find out what you don't know, that means you aren't making the effort to move forward or evolve and that's where it gets shameful. What I remember from this proverb is that you should not be discouraged if you do not know things but that you have to make efforts to find out, discovery leads to success.

  6. The proverb says at first that not knowing something is not a shame because the human being does not have the infuse science; it is therefore normal not to know everything.
    Then, the proverb says that it is the one who does not seek to learn who should be ashamed because it is a behaviour that leaves us in ignorance, and ignorance leads us more to shame.
    I conclude then that we must always ask questions, be curious in order to grow and know as much as possible.

  7. This proverb shows that shame is not not not to know something because it is normal not to know everything but when we do not make efforts to discover something or to try to know more about certain things and well this is what we can call the shame

  8. I agree with this Russian proverb. Indeed, if a person doesn't know something, it is not a problem because we are not machines. We are here to learn and learning is first of all giving ourselves the envy, or else it doesn't work. Also, it is the fact of sharing our knowledge to each other. While, the shame it is the fact not to give ourselves the possibility to discover new things.

  10. This Russian proverb explains that knowledge is not acquired at birth, so we should not be ashamed of this ignorance. On the other hand, we must enrich our knowledge because the one who remains in ignorance is the one who should be ashamed.

  11. This Russian proverb is very interesting. It means that it's not a problem when you don't know something, because it's normal not to know everything. But it also implies that when you don't know, you can't do anything. You have to look for what you don't know. It's a sort of life lesson, a way everyone should act.
