I will be posting Panjabi Proverbs, Muhavare, Sayings etc. They come to mind through the day and may interest others. The proverbs convey something of the language and culture of Panjab, and are also often entertaining! There are sound files included for those who want to listen to these pearls of wisdom!

Eccau hutti
ਇੱਕੋ ਹੱਟੀ ਸੋਈ ਕੁਪੱਤੀ ਮੁੜ ਘਿੜ ਜਾਣਾ ਓੁਸੇ ਹੱਟੀ
Eccau (one only) hutti (small shop) sauee (that is) kopatti (bad mannered or hot tempered ) morrh morrh (again and again) janna (to go) oussai (same) hutti (small shop).
When there is only one small shop in a village, even if the shop keeper is not good to the customers there is no choice but to frequent it.
Meaning, when parents have only one child it is important to keep good relations with it, even if the child is difficult!
