Paraguayan Spanish, often mixed with Guarani, has unique proverbs. “Mboriahu memby rembiapo” (The work of poverty’s child) describes someone who works hard due to necessity. “Ñande jára ndojapo vaíri mba’eve” (Our Lord doesn’t do anything wrong) expresses faith in divine plan. “Yvytu ome’ẽ, yvytu ojapyhy” (The wind gives, the wind takes away) reflects on the unpredictability of life.
