Guatemalan Spanish proverbs often reflect the country’s Mayan heritage and rural traditions. “Cada chuj con su nagual” (Each person with their spirit animal) respects individual differences. “El que nace para tamal, del cielo le caen las hojas” (He who is born to be a tamale, leaves fall on him from heaven) suggests that destiny plays a role in one’s life. “No hay mal que por bien no venga” (There’s no bad that doesn’t bring good) finds optimism in adversity.
