معنی
Youthful learning is useful in old age.
زمینه فرهنگی
The proverb is often linked to the 'National Revival' period, where education was seen as the key to national survival. Slovaks use an almost identical version: 'Čo sa v mladosti naučíš, v starobe akoby si našiel.' There is a shared 'guild' history where apprenticeships in youth were the only path to a stable old age. The proverb is now used to encourage 'digital literacy' among all ages, but especially the young.
The 'Se' Rule
Always remember the 'se'. Without it, you are teaching someone else, not learning yourself!
Shortening
In a conversation, you can just say 'Však víš, co se v mládí naučíš...' and nod. People will know the rest.

Don't over-modernize
Keep 'v stáří' as is. Changing it to 've stáří' is grammatically okay but ruins the proverb's rhythm.
