Significado
Good deeds are eventually rewarded.
Contexto cultural
In villages, this proverb is linked to the 'clacă' tradition, where neighbors help each other for free, knowing the favor will be returned. Modern Romanians use it to express hope in a fairer society, often in contrast to political corruption. The phrase is equally popular in the Republic of Moldova, often used with a slightly more archaic or religious tone. For Romanians living abroad, this phrase is a way to maintain their cultural identity and 'omenie' in a foreign environment.
Use it as a 'Thank You'
If someone refuses payment for a small favor, say this proverb to show you appreciate their character.
Don't over-explain
Proverbs are most powerful when said briefly. Don't say 'Because the proverb says...'. Just say the phrase.
