This traditional proverb offers advice on two different aspects of life: agriculture and marriage.

This proverb emphasizes that if one has effective communication skills or the ability to speak up, they can survive and thrive anywhere. It highlights that being vocal and persuasive helps a person find support, resources, and a place in society.

This proverb emphasizes the importance of timing and preparedness in agriculture and life.

This proverb is used to describe a person or a situation that is so accustomed to noise, chaos, or threats that they are no longer intimidated by them.

It implies that experienced people cannot be easily shaken by hollow threats.

This expression is used to suggest that some things are fundamentally flawed or permanently out of shape and cannot be used for a purpose that requires perfection.

This proverb is used to describe an immediate and inevitable consequence.

This proverb emphasizes the central role of a woman in managing a household and its prosperity. It means that if a wife is disciplined, hardworking, and manages the home well, the family's assets and livelihood (symbolized by the 'farm') will also be stable and successful.
