معنی
Persistence leads to results.
زمینه فرهنگی
Slovaks often use this proverb with a slight shrug of the shoulders, implying that while finding something is possible, it requires 'robota' (work). It's a very pragmatic culture. In the broader Austro-Hungarian context, this proverb is part of a shared 'work ethic' where persistence is valued over flashiness. Even though Slovakia is a traditionally Catholic country, this proverb is used by everyone, including atheists, as a secular piece of wisdom. On Slovak social media, you might see this used ironically when someone finds 'dirt' or 'cringe' content on someone else's profile.
Use it for encouragement
This is your go-to phrase when someone is frustrated. It sounds very natural and supportive.
Don't overdo it
If someone has been searching for 5 hours and is angry, saying this might annoy them. Use it when they are still in the 'trying' phase.
