معنی
Prevention is better than cure.
زمینه فرهنگی
Malayalis are known for being highly cautious and skeptical, a trait sometimes called 'Malayali common sense.' This proverb is the ultimate expression of that cultural DNA. In the 'Tharavadu' (ancestral home) system, the Karanavar (elder) would use this to instill discipline and risk-awareness in children. With the rise of digital literacy, the Kerala Police uses this proverb in memes and social media posts to warn against cyber-crimes. The Motor Vehicles Department of Kerala has this proverb permanently painted on many 'accident-prone zone' signboards.
The 'Ennanallo' Trick
Always add 'ennanallo' (as they say) after the proverb to sound like a wise native speaker.
Don't Overuse
If you say it for every tiny thing, you might sound like a 'pessimist' or too fearful.
