Funny and famous Armenian sayings

In all languages, including Armenian, idioms (sayings) are expressions that reflect the wisdom, humor, and culture of a nation. These idioms are widely used expressions containing a figurative meaning that differs from the phrase's literal meaning. They often convey moral lessons, practical advice, or witty observations about life. Some of these sayings are very old and have been passed down from generation to generation, while others are more modern and reflect the changing times. For foreigners, in most cases, these sayings sound funny, and they just love it. Here are some examples of Armenian sayings and their meanings:
