Proverb: If You Are Good, The World Is Good

Level 6Sounds Like āpōna bhālē'i jagata bhāla

আপোন ভালেই জগত ভাল means “if you are good yourself, the world is good”.

How It Works

WordMeaning
আপোন“oneself, own”
ভালেই“being good” with the focus ending
জগত“world”
ভাল“good”

The saying has a longer form with two halves: জী ভালেই জোৱাই ভাল, আপোন ভালেই জগত ভাল “if the daughter is good, even a bad son-in-law can be made good; if you are good yourself, the world is good”.

In plain words: যি মানুহ নিজে ভাল, তেওঁ আনকো ভাল দেখে “a person who is good himself sees others as good too”.

The ending -েই on ভালেই stresses the word before it. The verb “is” is left out.

  2. জী ভালেই জোৱাই ভাল, আপোন ভালেই জগত ভাল।

    If the daughter is good, even a bad son-in-law can be made good; if you are good yourself, the world is good.

    The longer form pairs two halves with the same shape.

    A person who is good himself sees others as good too.
