A1 Proverb رسمی

Ona suti - shifo

Mother's milk is healing

معنی

The importance of maternal care and nature.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

The concept of 'Halol sut' (honest milk) is vital. It's believed that if a mother eats 'harom' (forbidden) food, her milk will negatively affect the child's character. Mothers are often called 'The Second Creator' in poetic contexts, and this proverb is the linguistic foundation of that respect. The proverb aligns with the religious view that breastfeeding for two years is ideal, as mentioned in the Quran. Despite the rise of formula, this proverb is used by modern doctors to combat the 'Westernization' of infant feeding.

💡

Use it for praise

If you want to compliment an Uzbek person's manners, mentioning their 'ona suti' is a very high compliment.

⚠️

Don't over-medicalize

It's a proverb, not a prescription. Don't use it to argue against necessary medical treatment.
