બેઠક Bethak

ઊંધું બોલ્યે કાંઈ દહાડો વળે છે?

ūṁdhuṁ bōlyē kāṁī dahāḍō vaḷē chē?

Literally
Does speaking perverse nonsense ever make the day turn out well?
What it means
Speaking untruths or acting stubbornly against reason achieves nothing good.
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.
