બેઠક Bethak

વેગાની વાણી, તે તાણી તોડીને આણી.

vēgānī vāṇī, tē tāṇī tōḍīnē āṇī.

Literally
Words spoken in haste are stretched, broken, and forced.
What it means
Said of speech delivered impulsively, which ends up distorted and unnatural.

Also said as

  • વેળાએ મળ્યાં તે કળાં.
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.
