Sentences Example

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.
