意味
The basic rule of Nepali social etiquette.
文化的背景
This proverb is the basis for the 'Saino' system, where every person you meet is addressed as a relative (Dai, Bhai, Didi, Bahini) based on their age relative to you. In Newar culture, specific ceremonies like 'Janko' celebrate reaching old age, reinforcing the 'Thulalai Adar' aspect of the proverb. In the mountains, 'Adar' often translates to listening to the wisdom of elders regarding weather and trails, which is vital for survival. While traditional, this proverb is now used to promote anti-bullying in schools (Maya for the younger students).
Use it to apologize
If you accidentally offend an elder, mentioning that you are still learning to 'Thulalai Adar' will instantly soften their heart.
Body Language
Adar isn't just words. It's a slight bow or using two hands when giving something to an elder.
