PROVERB

Well guys, now i wanna explain for you about proverbs. As we know that, proverb in Indonesian the name is peribahasa. Generally. They used proverb when study in the school, give advice, and other conditions. I hope my posted very useful. thanks

Proverbs are popularly defined as short expressions of popular wisdom. Efforts to improve on the popular definition have not led to a more precise definition. The wisdom is in the form of a general observation about the world or a bit of advice, sometimes more nearly an attitude toward a situation. A proverb is a simple, which expresses a truth, based on common sense or the practical experience of humanity. A proverb that describes a basic rule of conduct may also be known as a maxim. If a proverb is distinguished by particularly good phrasing, it may be known as an aphorism.
Proverbs are often borrowed from similar languages and cultures, and sometimes come down to the present through more than one language. Both the Bible  and medieval Latin have played a considerable role in distributing proverbs across Europe, although almost every culture has examples of its own.
