Archan Idioms and Sayings

Pieces of wisdom of the Archan people

Special thanks to Rosana Dos Santos Pinto for writing the introduction and the sayings for this article

Introduction


""

Small in size but with deep meaning, popular sayings do their job of teaching about ethics, morals, philosophy, and depending on the context, religion. Once rooted in the local culture, these sayings are passed on, taking their lessons to those who would hear them. Repeated often and occasionally by reflex, the sayings break the barriers of time by creating roots in the listener's head.

It is no different with the Archan people: some were born in the kingdom itself in an attempt to bring hope and comfort in times of desperation, while others came with immigrants along with their stories and cultures. However, some were born from unusual situations and became popular for the joke factor that accompanies them.
