Proverbs and sayings - it seems like something from deep childhood, from a colorful reading textbook for elementary school. And, at the same time, they remind you of themselves every day, even if no one says them. Because they are life itself, its reflection. If you want, “formulas” of life that explain: if you do this, it will happen like this, but this happened for some reason... After all, proverbs contain folk wisdom. The experience of generations, independent of the historical era, fashion, political and economic situation. The only thing this experience depends on is time, which enriches and fills it.

What is the difference between a proverb and a saying?

Proverbs can be called a storehouse of experience and wisdom in their purest form. This is a short saying, instructive in spirit and having a complete meaning. For example: “you can’t catch a fish out of a pond without difficulty.”

A saying is something else. Rather, it is simply a stable combination expressing some thought, concept instead of some word, or denoting a frequently repeated, recognizable phenomenon: “like two peas in a pod,” “out of the blue,” “neither thought nor guessed, I can’t describe it with a pen”...

This is how it was originally, this is how the most ancient proverbs and sayings appeared. After all, there were times when even books were a huge rarity, and all a person had was his own mind and speech.

Then, when literature, the press, even television spread, the storehouse of wisdom began to be replenished with “author’s” proverbs and sayings - catchphrases of heroes of favorite films, well-aimed phrases in the texts of books... But the meaning of proverbs and sayings in our lives remained the same: a hint at a crossroads, consolation in trouble, a reminder of what should not be forgotten...

In everyday life we ​​often get confused, calling sayings proverbs and vice versa. There's a lot between them similarities, but there is also differences. Short, apt sayings arose in colloquial speech, which in itself implies some freedom. Therefore, mixing these two concepts is not considered strict. And yet, in this article we will try to find out what is the difference between proverbs and sayings. This will be shown more clearly in the table.

similarities and differences

Proverbs	Sayings
A neat, short, apt saying. But sayings are usually shorter than proverbs.
They arose among the people, in colloquial speech.
Widely used.
Belong to the art of words.
Stable (reproducible unchanged).
A figurative saying (this kind of wording is often used in definitions).	Figurative expression.
A genre of oral folk art.	Turn of speech.
A complete sentence, a complete statement.	A phrase or phrase that does not form a complete statement.
An instructive, edifying saying.	It has no edifying meaning, but conveys an emotional attitude to what is being said.
Morality, morality, instruction	An eloquent expression that can be easily replaced with other words.
Independent offer.	They can be used as part of a sentence to give a bright emotional coloring.
A proverb contains a complete thought.	A saying is part of a judgment without a conclusion.
Rhythmic in form, sometimes rhymed.	The rhyme is not typical.
A saying that summarizes various phenomena of life. A proverb conveys a generalized idea.	Accurately defines any phenomenon of life.
If we draw a parallel with music, proverbs are complex, classical music, sayings are a light pop genre.	Well-known, common, accepted expression

Examples

Proverbs act as an independent sentence:

Don't have a hundred rubles, but have a hundred friends.
Whoever you hang out with, that's how you'll gain.
There is safety in numbers.
Not the father-mother who gave birth, but the one who gave him water, fed him and taught him goodness.
Speak, but don't talk.
The whole family is together, and the soul is in place.
Harmony in the family is wealth.

Proverbs are often used as part of sentences:

Will return the money when the cancer whistles on the mountain.
The boss is throwing up and rants today.
We've got a ball rolling in our refrigerator today.
I'm not good at mathematics.

Sayings can easily be replaced with other words:

“to be left with nothing” (to be left with nothing)
“not in the slightest” (doesn’t understand anything about this)
“tears and rushes” (angry, angry)
“at least roll a ball” (empty)
“when the cancer whistles on the mountain” (never)

Difference between proverbs and sayings:

Proverb: “Small is the spool, but dear.”; proverb: “Small, but bold.”
Proverb - “An empty barrel rattles louder.”, saying - “Like a dog in a manger”
Proverb - “If you don’t know the ford, don’t stick your nose into the water.”, proverb - “Stay with your nose.”

Who cares?

Thus, both in content, and in form, and in the features of application, proverbs and sayings differ greatly. Philological science clearly draws a line between a proverb and a saying, but recognizes that in living speech proverbs can transform into sayings, and a saying can grow into a proverb. Confusion of concepts especially often occurs on the Internet, where websites post sayings and proverbs under the heading “Proverbs” or only proverbs under the heading “Proverbs and Sayings,” thereby confusing honest people. Here, on the website “About Proverbs” you will find proverbs. And if there are sayings related to the topic, they will be indicated by a subtitle.

Phew, now it has finally become clear to both us and you, what is the difference between proverbs and sayings. We hope the article was useful to you, leave your feedback in the comments 😉
