As surprising as it may seem, Tatar and Russian proverbs and sayings are not much different from each other. I remember there was an incident. The daughter was seven years old, and the son was nine. She decided to write a poem. Walks, puts words into rhyme. Here the son caught fire and began to compose something too. And he repeated some of her phrases. She will scream: “Are you writing my poems!” I'm reading Tatar proverbs and sayings - and I’m surprised: how similar they are to our proverbs! The words are different, but the meaning is the same.
