Kasabihan: Filipino Sayings
The difference between a saying and a proverb? Not much. According to definitions in the dictionary:
A saying is an often repeated and familiar expression. Example of usage in sentence: That's an old saying we have here in the Philippines.
A proverb is an old and popular saying that illustrates something such as a basic truth or a practical precept. Example of an English proverb: “Slow and steady wins the race.”
Simply put, a proverb is a saying that is older and has more history!
