A1 Proverb خنثی

Тише едешь — дальше будешь

тише едешь дальше будешь 1

Slow and steady wins the race

معنی

Patience leads to success.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

The proverb reflects the 'yamshchik' (coachman) culture of the 18th-19th centuries, where horse endurance was the only way to survive the vast Russian distances. This phrase was used in industrial safety posters to prevent accidents in factories caused by trying to over-fulfill quotas too quickly. Today, it's often used ironically to describe the terrible traffic in Moscow or the slow pace of government bureaucracy. It is one of the first 'wisdom' phrases children hear from parents when they are being too hyperactive or careless.

🎯

The Power of the Dash

When speaking, emphasize the dash with a slight pause. It makes you sound much more like a native speaker who understands the rhythm of Russian folk wisdom.

⚠️

Don't over-conjugate

Never change 'едешь' to 'едете' or 'еду' when saying the proverb. It is a fixed formula. Even if you are talking to a group, keep it as 'едешь'.
