In this sense, language can be described as “a material and spiritual bridge that transmits spiritual values to future generations.” The capabilities of each language are determined by its vocabulary. Proverbs are one of the ways to increase the vocabulary. They are the verbal forms of our worldview, values, traditions and beliefs. Proverbs reflect the centuries-old experience, judgments and recommendations of the nations. Proverbs play an important role in the formation and perpetuation of spiritual values.
