This expression is used to describe a contribution or an addition that is so insignificantly small compared to the vastness of the whole that it makes no difference at all. It is similar to the English idiom 'A drop in the bucket'.

This expression is used to describe a redundant or futile action. Just as the ocean is the source of all salt and already contains it in abundance, offering salt to it is pointless.

This expression is used to describe something that is completely insignificant or trivial in comparison to the vastness or magnitude of a situation. It implies that an action or contribution is so small that it makes no noticeable difference at all.

This expression is used to describe something that is wasted or goes unappreciated. Just as moonlight in an uninhabited forest has no one to admire it, and rain falling into the vast salt-water ocean adds no value, an action or resource spent where it isn't needed or recognized is considered a waste.

This expression is used to describe someone who waits for the perfect, trouble-free moment to start a task, which never actually comes.

This proverb is used to describe a person with a narrow perspective or limited knowledge who thinks their small world is everything. It highlights how someone with restricted experience cannot comprehend the vastness or complexity of the real world, much like a frog that believes its well is the entire universe.

This expression is used to describe an action that is insignificant or has no noticeable impact on a vast situation. It refers to a task that is so small compared to the scale of the problem that it makes absolutely no difference, similar to the English idiom 'a drop in the ocean.'

This expression is used to describe an action that is completely futile or a resource that is wasted because the scale of the problem is too vast.
