Signification
Hard work is the source of riches.
Contexte culturel
The proverb is often seen on the walls of schools and government buildings to promote a national work ethic. It reflects the 'Dehqon' (farmer) culture where manual labor in cotton fields was the primary source of income for generations. In Uzbek families, 'boylik' (wealth) is often shared. Working hard is seen as a way to provide for the entire extended family. Young entrepreneurs in Uzbekistan use this proverb to distance themselves from 'easy money' or corruption, emphasizing their 'halol' (honest) effort.
Use the full rhyme
To sound like a native, use the full version: 'Mehnatdan kelsa boylik, turmush bo'lar chiroylik'. It sounds much more poetic.
Respect the elders
This is a great phrase to use when talking to older Uzbek people; they will appreciate your knowledge of their values.
