Sentences Example

Balinese

Ngrebutin balung tan pa isi.

English

Wanting a bone that is bare. [proverb] Ngerebutin means wanting more than your share; fighting for more than others. Balung tan pa isi, means a bone that is “empty”, i.e. has no meat on it. This is said about a person who fights long and hard to get more than his share of something, but ends up getting nothing. This is considered to be bad, and the Balinese criticize one who does it.

Indonesian

Peribahasa yang bermakna "mempertengkarkan sesuatu yang tidak berguna" Pada umumnya "balung" adalah tulang besar yang masih berisi daging. Biasanya balung ini digunakan sebagai bahan masakan kuah yang dipadukan dengan sayur nangka muda. Apabila balung ini sudah tidak berisi daging, maka tidak ada yang bisa dimakan lagi. Sehingga peribahasa "Ngrebutin balung tan paisi" secara literal berarti "Memperebutkan tulang tanpa daging" dan dimaknai sebagai sebuah peribahasa atas keadaan "Mempertengkarkan sesuatu yang tidak ada gunanya".
