Do you know the continuation of the proverbs? Full version of Russian proverbs.

Using well-known catch phrases, for example from literary classics or popular films, we often do not even finish them. First, most often we see from the face of the interlocutor that we read the same books with him and watched the same films, and it is clear to us that we understood each other. Secondly, many phrases are so recognizable by everyone that they have not finished speaking the other half for a long time. But another generation will come and think that all wisdom is only in this short phrase, not knowing about its understatement, losing its original meaning! This happened with many sayings and proverbs. We pronounce them, thinking that their meaning is clear to us from the cradle, but ... Apparently, our ancestors also did not bother to finish them off, leaving us only the first halves of them ...

Let's try to search for the original meaning, returning the endings to the proverbs. Let's start with the proverbs that have lost only part of their meaning: everything seems to be correct, but something is missing, something is unsaid.

Hunger is not an aunt will not bring a pie.

Do not open your mouth on someone else's loaf, get up early and start your own.

Take it out, but put it down; give birth, give it to me.

Small spool but precious; the stump is great, but rotten.

Young scold - amuse, and old people scold - rage.

Everything is clear with these proverbs - there is only some reticence in them, and the returned part reinforces the meaning folk wisdom... It is more difficult with those proverbs and sayings, the meaning of which has completely changed with the loss of their second part!

How often have we heard from adults in childhood: "V healthy body — healthy mind!» ? It seems that the meaning is beyond doubt, and we repeat the same to our children, for example, forcing them to do morning exercises. But initially it sounded like this: "In a healthy body, a healthy mind is a rare occurrence." This is how he wrote Decimus Junius Juvenal, Roman poet-satirist, in his "Satyrs". This is what it means to take words out of context, which is abused by many in our time. The meaning, it turns out, was completely different!

To a drunken sea knee-deep- it is clear that a drunk person does not care about anything, but in reality? To a drunken knee-deep sea and the puddle is head over heels.

The ward of the mind! Means very clever man, and his opinion is worth listening to. And if you return the ending? The ward of the mind, yes the key is lost!

Repetition is the mother of learning! Well, what other meaning could there be? And you ask Ovid, these are his words: "Repetition is the mother of learning and the refuge of donkeys (the consolation of fools). "

The meaning of many proverbs, without their lost part, is generally unclear! Why would it be said: " Lucky, as a drowned man". But if you restore the entire text, then everything will fall into place:

Lucky how Saturday to a drowned man - no need to heat the bath! So luck is only on the side of the drowned on Saturday - they will not have to heat the bathhouse, savings on the farm!

The chicken pecks by the grain - that is, every deed is done little by little , but bring back the ending and everything will appear in a different light ... The chicken pecks by the grain , and the whole yard is in droppings!

As soon as new bosses appear at work and begin innovations, someone will definitely say: "The new broom sweeps in a new way!" But the whole point is in the second half: "The new broom sweeps in a new way, but when it breaks, it rolls under the bench. "

When, for example, there are previously unfamiliar like-minded people who are passionate about one thing or people of the same profession, they say : "Birds of a feather flock together". But in fact it was: "Birds of a feather flock together, and therefore bypasses. " After all, where one is already fishing, the second has nothing to do!

V living speech, folk aphorisms are most often turned to not because of their aesthetic function, but as a pragmatic component, as if supporting their thought with the authority of folk wisdom. When resorting to a similar technique, it is very important to use the proverb to the place and understand its meaning precisely.

It is known that some folk expression much shorter today. As a rule, the main part of the proverb remains unchanged, and both options, full and short, have the same meaning. At the same time, the "lost" continuation of proverbs is sometimes so unexpected that it can serve as a counterargument to a more modern version.

Guided by the eternal desire to accommodate as much information as possible in as little volume as possible, in live speech, over time, preference is most often given to truncated expressions, which, in turn, is not a reason to forget the original versions of folk sayings. They are of interest not only as an object of linguistic research, but also as an integral part of the cultural and historical heritage.

For example, the expression "The road is a spoon to dinner", which is often used today in the form of a one-term composition, has a continuation: "The road is a spoon to dinner, and then at least under the bench." What is the meaning of the proverb?

The expression originated at a time when the spoon was, in fact, the only cutlery used common people at each hot meal, food was served to the table in one large dish (a kettle, pot, or on a wooden platter), and forks and personal plates were still the privilege of wealthy people. Naturally, without a spoon, getting your portion and not getting burned was quite problematic. The direct meaning of the first part of the linguistic aphorism is clear, but what does it mean, "and there at least under the bench"?

In Russian huts, oversized dishes (pots, cast iron) were stored in a special ship's shop, which ran from the stove along the side wall. The “china” shop differed from the rest of the shops in the house in its height and in the presence of shelves covered with doors or curtains.

Smaller kitchen utensils, mostly those that were used every day, including spoons, were stacked in a bowl - shelves located above the ship's bench. The space under the benches in the hut was called a sub-frame or a sub-frame. And although the counter had a useful function, for example, under the "men's" shop, the so-called "bunk", the owner kept tools (saws, axes, etc.), but due to its location, the counter, naturally, could not be considered a prestigious place in the house - all the rubbish accumulated there. One can judge about the status of the underframe in the hut by the following proverb: "A new bed from shelf to shelf, but it gets old - it piles up on the underfloor."

It is noteworthy that in Russia, sweeping the floor, all the garbage was swept under the bench in the "stove corner" most time doing housework. After the garbage was collected, it was burned in a kiln. It is interesting that from the tradition of leaving dirty linen in the house in order to burn it afterwards, a proverb-directive was born - “Don't take the dirty linen out of the hut, but under the shop mine”, which means: “don't gossip!”. Returning to the expression "The road is a spoon ...", the second part of the aphorism in a deliberately exaggerated, rude form expresses everyday observation - the need for spoons after dinner is small, having fulfilled their function, they become useless, therefore, they can be thrown under the bench, that is, forget about them ...

The figurative meaning of the proverb is as follows - the value of something, not only a thing, but also an idea, an action, is realized at the moment when they (a thing, service, thought, etc.) are needed and interested. In other words, what is received on time is valuable.

The aphorism is used not only in relation to people, but also objects, phenomena. The overvalue of timely assistance is especially acutely recognized when it comes to human health and life. Quite often, the dictum is used to condemn the belated actions or inaction of someone. For example, when the person to whom they turned for help refused, and then nevertheless expressed a desire to help, but his services were no longer needed. The famous saying has both Russian and foreign counterparts. In particular, the English have a popular expression that, translated into Russian, reads like this: "One stitch made on time is worth nine."

But, just as an excess of spices drowns out the taste of the main dish, so too much proverbial speech only causes irritation. In such cases, it seems that the interlocutor is unable to express his personal attitude to the subject of the conversation, hiding behind ready-made life formulas.

It is possible to convince with the help of folk wisdom only when it reflects not only a typical situation, but also the speaker's own thoughts and feelings.

Russian proverbs and sayings are centuries-old folk wisdom, sharply honed, sometimes even evil. It turns out that not all of them carry the grain that our ancestors put into them - either it is less or of a different kind. And all because of the lost ending!

Sometimes the meaning of such a truncated saying is not only lost, but completely incomprehensible. And the Russian people did not throw words in vain! It is only necessary to find and return these lost seeds of wisdom and understand all the charm and acuteness of the people's thought!

Let's try to search for the original meaning, returning the endings to the proverbs. Let's start with the proverbs that have lost only part of their meaning: everything seems to be correct, but something is missing, something is unsaid.

Hunger is not an aunt will not bring a pie.
