জোৰ যাৰ মুলুক তাৰ
Proverb: Strength and Land
জোৰ যাৰ মুলুক তাৰ means “whoever has the strength, the land is his”.
How It Works
The proverb is built on the frame যাৰ … তাৰ “whose … that one’s”. The thing named after যাৰ belongs to the person named by it. In this proverb the thing is জোৰ “strength”.
| Word | Meaning |
|---|---|
| জোৰ | “strength, force” |
| যাৰ | “whose, of the one who” |
| মুলুক | “land, country” |
| তাৰ | “that one’s” |
In plain words: যাৰ বল বেছি, সেইজনেই বেছি পায় “the one with more strength is the one who gets more”.
The proverb states a hard fact about power. It does not give advice by itself. Because it has no verb, the listener adds “belongs” or “gets” in their head.
