Nepalese (उखान तुक्का) idioms and proverbs in English

A word for word translation of Nepalese (उखान तुक्का) idioms and proverbs into English

खाई न पाई छालाको टोपी लाई

 Eating not getting, putting leather cap

 घाँटी हेरी हाड निल्नु
 Look at the neck and swallow the bone

 एक कान दुई कान मैदान
 One ear two ear, playground

 अछ्यु खाए बछ्यु खाए, झुसे बारुलो
 Hornet ate bachhyu ate, hairy wasp

 काग कराउदै गर्छ पिना सुक्दै गर्छ
 Crow crying, pina drying

 चिन्नु न जान्नु घचेडी माग्नु
 Don't know don't know push and beg

 भाग्यमानी को भूतै कमारो
 Lucky person has ghost servant

 म पनि खान्दानी को छोरा हो
 I am also a son of Tiffin Carrier

 कहिं नभाको जात्रा हाँडीगाउँमा
 Nowhere festival in pot village

 नखाँउ भने दिनभरिको शिकार, खाउँ भने कान्छा बाउको अनुहार
 If no eating whole day's hunting, if eating face of uncle

 हात्ती आयो हात्ती आयो फुस्सा
 Elephant coming elephant coming, phussa becoming

 केटा केटी आए, गुलेली खेलाए, गुच्चाको नास
 Boy girl come, play slingshot, loss of marble

 जब भयो राती, तब बुढी ताती
 When it becomes night, wife becomes hot.

 कस्लाई के को चिन्ता, घर ज्वाइँलाई खानाको चिन्ता
 Who what tension, who what tension, house son-in-law eating tension.

 कस्को बाउको के तागत, म पनि खान्दानको छोरा हुँ
 Whose father, what vitamin I'm the son of Tiffin Carrier

एकै दयाँङका मुला
radish of the same plot
