意味
Quiet people can be powerful.
文化的背景
Slovenians often value 'skromnost' (modesty). Being loud is sometimes seen as 'bahavost' (bragging). This proverb validates the quiet, hardworking lifestyle. In mountain cultures, the power of water is respected and feared. This proverb reflects the geographical reality of erosion in the Alps. In Slovenian companies, the most influential person is often not the one shouting in meetings, but the one observing quietly. In villages, a 'tiha voda' is someone who might be keeping secrets or working on a big plan without telling the neighbors.
Use it for Introverts
It's the best compliment you can give to a quiet person who just did something impressive.
Don't over-literalize
If you talk about a flood, don't use this. It's almost always about people.
