Takeaways

• 😀 Another example of *babasan* is 'gede hulu' (big head), which refers to someone who is arrogant, not someone with a physically large head.
• 😀 *Paribasa* (proverbs) are fixed sentences in Sundanese that offer wisdom or life lessons, often relating to human behavior.
• 😀 One *paribasa* is 'adat kakurung ku iga', which refers to a person whose bad behavior is hard to change, likened to a nature wrapped in ribs.
• 😀 *Paribasa* also includes comparisons or lessons, such as 'anjing ngagogo gan kalong', meaning to desire something impossible.
• 😀 Proverbs are categorized into three types based on meaning: leisure proverbs (common experiences), commands for good behavior, and prohibitions against bad actions.
• 😀 An example of a *paribasa* that commands good behavior is 'kudu babalikpikir', which means we must change from bad habits to good ones.
