I am sorry the context in which I used them did not help to understand their meaning. I wish some others on goanet could help out before I give my answer. But proverbs are to be understood only through their contextual usage. It is quite possible that all proverbs are not current in all parts of Goa. I can only say that I did not invent it!

I do know konkani rather well, love proverbs or Opar as we in Salcete call them but am totally confused by these two. Are these Bardez Proverbs, in what context are they used? Whenever we have carpenters at home a famous proverb is " Bot gattlear hat galcho podda" and one is aware what it means, but these two have me foxed. Would someone be kind enough to enlighten me.
