I think it would be useful to have a topic on proverbs, they are an interesting aspect of the lanuage. Post here the ones you find interesting, or you want to learn the meanings.

it ürür, kervan yürür.

My favorite. "Great enterprises are not deflected by the yips and yaps of petty critics."

Literally -- "Dogs bark, the caravan moves on."

Eski hamam, eski tas.

(Same old bathhouse, same old water bowl.)

(( damlaya damlaya gul olur))

tear plus tear will make a lake
thanks

Alyaa, that proverb is actually 'Damlaya damlaya göl olur'. The meaning is correct, but gül means rose, lake is göl

(( iyi dost kara gunde belli olur))

good friend will be discovered in the black day.
thanks
