Hu ragel akbar minnek u mhux zaghzugh jixba' minnek. Marry a man older than you and not a younger man, who will tire of you. When the husband is a hen and the wife is a cock, the house is topsy-turvy. A neck without a head, buttocks without a hole and a girl without shame are not worth admiring or marrying. Iz-zwieg laghqa ghasel, bittija mrar.
Marriage is a lick of honey and a barrel of bitter.
The wagtail hops and flaps its wings, but the male dove feeds and coos. Mara sa dahket bix-xitan . A woman has even cheated the devil. Long skirts carry dust, but short skirts carry away souls. Mara ghandha sebat erwieh .
