सानालाई माया ठूलालाई आदर

सनलई मय ठललई आदर

Love young respect old

The basic rule of Nepali social etiquette.

🌍

문화적 배경

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.

Yes, but more as a general philosophy of mentorship rather than a strict rule.

Proverbs often omit verbs to make them punchier and easier to remember. The verb 'garnu' (to do) is implied.
