Bhojpuri Sayings
Sayings pack advice into one short line, often with paired जइसन ... ओइसन.
How It Works
कहाउत are short, fixed sayings. They carry the common sense of a village in one line. Speakers use them in conversation to make a point.
| Saying | Meaning |
|---|---|
| जइसन करनी, ओइसन भरनी | you reap what you sow |
| जइसन देस, ओइसन भेस | do as the locals do |
| घर के जोगी जोगड़ा, आन गाँव के सिद्ध | people undervalue the talent close to home |
| नाच ना जाने, आँगन टेढ़ | a poor dancer blames the floor |
जइसन ... ओइसन pairs two kinds, like जइसे ... ओइसे pairs two ways. Learn each saying as one piece. Tone matters: sayings can sound sharp, so use them with people you know well.
