Power Point of Proverb
Proverb (Pepatah)
A proverb is most often a phrase or saying that gives advice in obscure way. The phrase usually has a message behind that when first we heard may seem a little ood.
Based on expert definition
Mieder has proposed the definition
“a proverb is a short, generally known sentence of the folk which contains wisdom, truth, morals, and traditional views in a metaphorical, fixed and memorizable form and which is handed down from generation to generation.”
Miguel de Cervantes
“a proverb is a short sentence based on long experience”
Role of Proverb
The most common role that a proverb plays is to educate. It is as advice in conversation, to educate people on what might happen if they do something.
The other one is to sharing a culture on many works from famous writers in the world. For example J.R.R. Tolkien in his novel “The Hobbit” and “ The Lord of the rings”.
Not only on a novel or a books but proverbs use in drama and films. For example is Forrest Gump.

Differences of idiom and proverb :
HapusProverbs have a meaning that is greater than Idiom that is the meaning of the individual words put together, but in a different way than idioms. The literal meaning of an idiom usually doesn’t make sense, and idioms can be almost impossible to understand unless you have learned or heard them before. But Proverb is popular to hear and easy to understand and use.
ci, is proverb in english and bahasa same? i mean if we use bahasa proverb to speak with native. do they understand?
BalasHapusIts depend on the structure of we use.
HapusYou can use the proverb from bahasa and you translate into right structure of it, perhaps they will understand of yours.
For example :
Love is blind = cinta itu buta
