Usage notes
The Russian terms погово́рка (pogovórka) and посло́вица (poslóvica) both translate to proverb or saying in English, but have subtly different usage in Russian:
- погово́рка (pogovórka) is a concise descriptive phrase, usually not forming a complete sentence, which may hint at a lesson but does not state it explicitly; e.g. во́ду в сту́пе толо́чь (vódu v stúpe tolóčʹ, “to plough the sand, to waste one's time”, literally “to grind water in a mortar”).
- посло́вица (poslóvica) is a complete sentence communicating an explicit lesson or an important truth; e.g. во́ду вари́ть — вода́ и бу́дет (vódu varítʹ — vodá i búdet, “if you waste your time, you will achieve nothing”, literally “if you boil water [with nothing in it], you will get water”).
