Nicaraguan expressions often reflect the country’s resilient spirit. “Cada quien habla como le fue en la feria” (Everyone speaks according to how they fared at the fair) suggests that personal experience shapes perspective. “Donde manda capitán, no manda marinero” (Where the captain commands, the sailor doesn’t) respects hierarchy. “El que nace para maceta, no pasa del corredor” (He who is born to be a flowerpot doesn’t leave the corridor) comments on the limitations of destiny.
