Sentences Example
Balinese
Paribasa: Cotek masambung layur
English
-
Indonesian
Cotek bersambung layur; Peribahasa artinya: sesuatu hal yang kecil dibesar-besarkan
Balinese
PROVERB: Cotek sambungin layur
English
Sambung= add, join; Cotek: common very short fish; Layur: common much longer fish. So the meaning is that something short becomes something much longer. It is used sometimes to mean that as gossip spreads the story gets bigger and more impressive, and the subject gets exaggerated out of all proportion compared to the original.
