   Answer

Proverbs and sayings are a real storehouse of wisdom of the Russian people, which has been tested not only by many centuries, history, but also by ordinary life through the experience of our ancestors, passed down from generation to generation. One proverb or saying can simultaneously express sadness with joy, anger with grief, hatred with love, and, of course, humor with sarcasm. Proverbs and sayings were able to summarize a wide range of phenomena of reality surrounding us, helping to understand the history of the people. That is why a literate person who loves his country always listens and reads... After all, what is in the texts, what is in colloquial speech, these linguistic phenomena play a special role: They enhance expressiveness, Make the content deeper, Give spice, At the same time, they help to find the way to the reader’s heart.

Proverb, is that you?
People don’t like terms, but they are the ones that help us understand a phenomenon and look inside it!

Proverb is a rhythmic and short figurative saying that is stable in speech. This is a national treasure that contains judgment or advice on a certain situation.

Indeed, a proverb is one of the most curious folklore genres, which, although studied by linguists, linguists, and philologists, remains a mystery, since it is not a saying of one person, but a folk assessment that can best reflect spiritual image, human aspirations with ideals, to demonstrate clearly judgments about all phenomena. What is not accepted by the majority simply will not take root. The proverb lives and can live only in speech, acquiring completeness and clear meaning in it. It can be said with absolute certainty that sayings and proverbs have supported lifestyle, strengthened faith in the future, becoming a kind of commandments, on the basis of which life was regulated ordinary people. A proverb may not always be edifying, but it is always instructive! It is necessary to draw a conclusion from them, regardless of how old you are, what social status We are currently occupying.

Proverb, sister of the proverb?
Sometimes we simply don’t understand what the differences are between proverbs and sayings, since they are traditionally put on the same page. To figure it out, and this is necessary, we suggest that you get to know the proverb better and understand what it is.

Proverb - This figurative expression, which is also widespread, and it aptly and succinctly defines a phenomenon in life.

If you compare a saying with a proverb, then there is no teaching in it. Only a figurative, sometimes metaphorical expression. For example, “easy on the face” or “careless.” No complete judgments, but what a great opportunity for language to have a means of conveying an emotionally expressive assessment. In other words, the proverb was “born” to express the feelings of the person who uses it. Of course, we cannot say that proverbs and sayings are the same, since they have obvious differences. The proverb has two important features: Completeness, Didactic content.

As for the saying, its properties that you will definitely notice after studying the content in this section: Inferences are incomplete, Emotional, Lack of instructiveness.

However, sometimes it is quite difficult to distinguish “who is who”, since the genres are still adjacent, and sayings border on proverbs. There are often cases when, by adding a word to a saying, a proverb is obtained, and sometimes an ordinary inversion (rearrangement of words) is sufficient. As for oral speech, then here quite often sayings are transformed into proverbs, and proverbs - on the contrary, into sayings. The people themselves say: “A saying is a flower, a proverb is a berry” (this, by the way, is a proverb), demonstrating that the saying has some incompleteness. Therefore, the proverb, having formalized the thought completely, becomes a berry.

Where did proverbs and sayings come to us from?
Oh, how difficult it is to say, since when did sayings and proverbs begin to circulate among the people, when did these short sayings and apt definitions that make speech richer and simpler at the same time. With all this, we can say with absolute confidence that this happened a long time ago, in ancient times, accompanying the people throughout their entire development since then. A saying could develop into a proverb or saying only when it was 100% consistent with the way of life and thoughts of the mass of people, and then exist for thousands of years. Behind every phrase stands the centuries-old authority of generations of our ancestors. You need to understand that the people who created proverbs and sayings for the most part were illiterate; they simply did not have another method to summarize their experience and knowledge. As a result, proverbs and sayings very accurately characterize the mentality, clearly demonstrating such parameters as: Folk features, As already noted, way of life, Moral standards.

Is it any wonder that they are often contradictory? After the baptism of Rus', proverbs and sayings began to amazingly intertwine pagan elements with phenomena new faith. Proverbs and sayings that describe interaction with feudal lords also very clearly confirm the stated idea. peasant labor, dependence on the weather, the patriarchal way of life, and so on.

Studying proverbs and sayings means understanding life
In no case should we neglect the “world” of these linguistic phenomena, because it reflects not only reflections from external environment, but also in privacy, in family. For every occasion there is a saying or proverb, whether it is about a wedding, theft, illness... However, we must not forget that there is a special “squad” of proverbs and sayings that migrated to us from outstanding literary works. Griboyedov is a leader in this direction. What are they worth? " Happy Hours They’re not watching.” And how many such expressions were created by Krylov, who is always in his creative activity relied on colloquial, often using sayings and proverbs in fables. True, this direction is usually referred to as aphorisms, and for them there is a whole section on our website, which we also recommend that you get acquainted with it in order to be more educated, to understand the world in which we live, to make your speech diverse, colorful and expressive!

This process drags on and it is difficult for a person to stop; he wants more and more money.)

What is written with a pen cannot be cut out with an axe. (The proverb means: if what is written on paper (law, order, complaint, etc.) has come into force or has been read by other people, then it is very difficult to correct, change or cancel it.)

What goes around comes around. (A famous Slavic proverb. It means: how you treat a task at the beginning is what you will get in the end. If you tried and did well, then the result of any undertaking will be good. If you did something poorly, poorly, or did it incorrectly, then the result accordingly it will be deplorable.)
