બેઠક Bethak

ગાંડા લોક તે ગામડે વસે, ને ખાસડું મારીએ તો ખડખડ હસે.

gāṁḍā lōka tē gāmaḍē vasē, nē khāsaḍuṁ mārīē tō khaḍakhaḍa hasē.

Literally
Foolish people live in villages, and if you hit them with a shoe, they laugh out loud.
What it means
Ignorant or simple-minded people do not understand insults and may react with amusement even when mistreated.

  • ગાંડી ઘોળે, ને ડાહી કુંડાણાં કરે.
  • ગોંદરા ગામમાં ન હોય.
