What is the difference between Muhavara (Idiom) and Lokokti (Proverb)?
Muhavara (Idiom) vs Lokokti (Proverb):
- Muhavara: Phrase or expression that conveys a figurative meaning distinct from its literal meaning; incomplete sentence that requires integration into a sentence (e.g., अंगूठा दिखाना, ९ दो ११ होना).
- Lokokti: Self-contained traditional folk saying reflecting collective community wisdom; complete independent sentence (e.g., नाच न जाने आंगन टेढ़ा).
