the proof of the pudding (is in the eating) [also the proof is in the pudding] saying: said to mean that you can only judge the quality of something after you have tried, used, or experienced it.
با به‌كاری بهێنین یان با تاقی بكه‌ینه‌وه‌ ئینجا به‌دیارده‌كه‌وێت، له‌كاتێكدا ده‌توانی بڕیار له‌ جۆری شتێك بده‌ی پاش ئه‌وه‌ی تاقیت كردووه‌ یان به‌كارت هێنا.

A: This second-hand car does look a bit old – can you still drive it?
 ئه‌و ئۆتۆمبێله‌ به‌كارهاتووه‌ كه‌مێك كۆن دیاره‌ - ده‌بێ بهاژورێ؟
B: Well, why don't you test drive it? The proof is in the pudding.
ڕاستییه‌كه‌ی، بۆ تاقی ناكه‌یه‌وه‌ و كه‌مێك بیهاژۆی؟ بیهاژۆ به‌دیارده‌كه‌وێت.
