The above lines are a translation of
a Swedish proverb.
Proverbs have been part of human culture for thousands of years. Some of
those from China, Africa, and the Middle East, for example, were first
coined long before the Roman Empire. Some proverbs from other countries may
sound familiar to you. It is common for countries to have their own versions of
a proverb.
Stylistically set apart from regular speech, they are often metaphorical
or symbolic in nature. Speakers can use proverbs to impart
knowledge, offer advice, teach or reinforce morals, make an argument, relieve
interpersonal tensions, aid in understanding, or to console or inspire others.
Proverbs serve as broad guidelines for moral and/or
proper behavior. Additionally, they tend to mirror the cultural beliefs of the society
or tradition from which they originate. Here in this context
Swedish (svenska [ˈsvɛ̂nːska]) is a North Germanic
language spoken predominantly in Sweden and in parts of Finland. It has at
least 10 million native speakers, the fourth most spoken Germanic language and
the first among any other of its type in the Nordic countries overall.
There are approximately 10.5 million speakers of Swedish
around the world, and more than 90 percent of them live in Sweden.
Swedish is a beautiful and melodic language with a unique
set of sounds and grammatical features. It is known for its relatively simple noun declensions and the use of
definite and indefinite articles before nouns. Swedish also uses the Latin
alphabet with a few additional characters like å, ä,
Some Swedish idioms are similar to our own, more or less, for example in
place of there's no place like home comes borta bra men hemma bäst (away is good but home
is best). But then there are beauties such as köp inte grisen i säcken – don't buy
a pig while it's still in the bag.
