Miguel de Cervantes

Simplified Meaning:

To understand if something is good or effective, you have to try it out yourself. Imagine you see a cake that looks delicious, but you won't know if it tastes good until you actually take a bite. This saying means that instead of just judging things by their appearance or what others say, you need to experience them personally to see their true worth. For example, if you're thinking about buying a new gadget, you should use it first to see if it works well for you. In everyday life, this could mean trying out a new hobby to see if you enjoy it, rather than just assuming you will based on what you’ve heard.
