A1 Proverb フォーマル

Sok lúd disznót győz.

Strength in numbers.

意味

Many small forces can defeat a large one.

🌍

文化的背景

Geese were historically kept by almost every household. They served as 'watchdogs' because they are loud and aggressive toward strangers. The proverb is often associated with the 1848 Revolution, where poorly armed peasants and citizens stood up against the professional Austrian army. The 'disznóvágás' (pig slaughter) is a major social event in Hungary. The pig is a symbol of wealth and abundance, making its defeat by 'lowly' geese even more symbolic. The story of 'Lúdas Matyi' (Matyi the Goose-boy) is a national classic where a poor boy outsmarts a wealthy landlord, perfectly embodying this proverb.

Don't say 'liba'
