The culture of citing proverbs in any conversation is very common in the Bhutanese languages, mainly to convey a message with clarity by means of using examples. For instance, the current video says "before you cross the mountain and river". Though the sentencence seems incomplete, the meaning of the phrase means one should think before taking any action. One must think carefully and prepare before crossing a bridge or mountain, lest one make a mistake resulting in lateness or worse.
