Dheeai gal


ਧੀਏ ਗੱਲ ਕਰ , ਨੂੰਹੇਂ ਕੰਨ ਕਰ
Dheeai (daughter) gal kar (you talk), noohai (daughter–in–law) kann (ear) kar. This one means literally that you speak to your daughter (get your daughter to talk of something) so your daughter-in-law will hear (and learn!). Its a way of bringing up a difficult subject in an indirect manner.

So for example: a mother may foster a conversation on the benefits of working hard with her daughter, so to encourage her idle daughter-in-law!
