બેઠક Bethak

આજકાલના કીકા, તે ડહાપણમાં ડુલી ગયા.

ājakālanā kīkā, tē ḍahāpaṇamāṁ ḍulī gayā.

Literally
Infants of today are steeped in wisdom.
What it means
Said sarcastically of young, inexperienced people who pretentiously act like elders or experts.

Also said as

  • ધરડાપા કરે છે.
ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1921) · read from the scan by machine — the Gujarati itself is unchecked · English is machine-made and nobody has checked it yet

Heard it differently, or know we've got the sense wrong? Tell us — that is exactly the kind of correction this needs.
