બેઠક Bethak

પરણ્યા નથી પણ જાને તો ગયા હઈશું.

paraṇyā nathī paṇa jānē tō gayā haīśuṁ.

Literally
We are not married, but surely we must have gone in the wedding procession.
What it means
Even if one does not have direct personal experience of something, they still possess general knowledge or observation of it.

Also said as

  • પરઘેર જમે, તે બહુ બહુ નમે.
ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1923) · 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.
