Proverb: Strength and Land

Level 6Sounds Like jōra yāra muluka tāra

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”.

WordMeaning
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.
