Shyleti idioms, phrases and proverbs.
«on:

Idioms, phrases and proverbs are the wealth of any language.
They make our expressions eloquent.
Though shyleti is a dialect, it
is very rich in all those jewels that were developed over time.
In fact, I heard that somebody
has made a book out of it.
My personal favourite is
"eki nachonya buri tar ufre paila dholor bari" ;D
Please post some more. For the benefit of the non shyleti viewers
why not give a English description or usage?

jaane na kuchiyar montro...haat dito jaay haafor gaato
[/quote]
Sounds like a proverb. It probably means that don't poke your nose in something you don't know.
Say for example,
Madon's father had a nice wall clock. One day Mandan volunteered to oil it. He opened the clock and ended up
with a hand full of gears. Then his angry father can say
jaane na kuchiyar montro...haat dito jaay haafor gaato
(He Who does not know how to handle a job should not emberk on it)

Nastya na janlay uthan tera
[/quote]
Meaning=Don't make excuses.
This one has found its place in mainstream Bengali too. Or it's the other
way round?
This has a Hindi equivalent too. I think the Hindi one is Nach na jane
aangan tera. Am I right?

Moraar uprya korar gha
[/quote]
Meaning: one trouble on top of another.
Used when someone already in trouble runs into some more trouble.
[quote author=Addabaz
link=board=0011&num=1070596338&start=0#2 date=12/05/03 at 19:22:19]
Rakhay krishna marya kay
[/quote]
Meaning=If you are lucky, nothing will happen to you.
or literally if God is protecting you, no harm will befall you
All three are very commonly used in Mainstream Bengali.

[quote] to koite tengra buze [/quote]
This phrase may be used to decribe somebody who just needs a hint to understand the whole matter.
It is like a complement. Means a smart guy.
I can say buzcho ni ba, assami fua dat re ba. He beta to koite tengra buze. ;D

Jate matal tale thik :
Peto kil mari pori thak : shut up
paya bhari : proud
sat kando ramayan poriya sita kar bap : asking a stupid queation
Mura muri kore , dhusu nusu kore (remember Mihir Dutta sir using this phrase?): hesitating
Dhoriya-i mot-tat: going to a very complex problem without touching simpler ones.
When my teacher started teaching me algebra, he skipped a few chapters
and went to a very comples problem. I can say that "tain to dekhi
dhoriya-i mottat korra"
Ustad er mair sesh ratre.

That makes sense. "Kotar bavon" means greedy? lobhi/petuk? what is Kota?
Sandipan,
I think meaning of "Sesh paise" is quite literal. |

The actual meaning of kotar bavon in written bengali (kelu) is agradani brahmin. Their task is to carry out a part of rituals (shradh) after a person dies. |
