意思
Small savings or efforts add up.
文化背景
In Azerbaijan, this proverb is often used by grandparents to teach 'qənaət' (frugality). It's not just about money, but about not wasting anything, including food and time. The Turkish version 'Damlaya damlaya göl olur' is so similar that it's often used in joint cultural projects between the two nations to show their 'One nation, two states' bond. Similar proverbs exist in Uzbek and Turkmen cultures, reflecting the shared nomadic heritage where water management was a community effort. In Baku's business world, this phrase is used to describe 'Compound Interest' or incremental growth in marketing strategies.
Use for Encouragement
This is the best phrase to use when a friend is about to give up on a long-term goal.
Don't over-conjugate
Keep it as 'olar'. Changing it to 'oldu' (became) or 'olacaq' (will become) makes it sound less like a proverb and more like a literal observation.

It is a proverb, so it is inherently formal/wise, but it is used in very casual settings too.
