We often use numbers in our lives. They can be found on

shop windows, hear about them from the media.

The numbers tell us how much a particular product costs or

thing, what age is the child and when is his birthday,

date and time. We learn all this and much more thanks to numbers. But we meet with numbers not only in mathematics lessons, but also in other lessons, for example, reading.

Our ancestors came up with many proverbs and sayings. Proverbs and sayings with numbers occupy a considerable place among them.

Knowledge of proverbs and sayings makes us wiser, warns against mistakes. In proverbs there is always a conclusion that is useful for everyone to remember. Many actions of people can be interpreted in accordance with proverbs. If a person and proverbs are interconnected, then proverbs play an instructive role in a person's life. Proverbs and sayings contain rich experience and wisdom of the people.

The use of numbers in sayings and proverbs reflects the development of digital counting in humans since ancient times. Often proverbs with numbers have special meaning, since each number previously denoted a certain sacred concept, for example, the unity of God, two opposite principles, the “magic” seven, etc. Proverbs can contain the most different numbers, but most often the numbers from 0 to 9 appear.

And although, according to scientists, the main word in the proverb, and not the numbers that are used in it, the numbers act as symbols.

All sayings with numbers are folk wisdom. The numbers of the Russian people mean action, movement. This means that you need to think, move forward, do not sit still. Overcoming laziness is the survival of man at any time. That is why the wisdom of our ancestors is modern today.

Cut down one tree, plant ten.
Tenth water on jelly.

The culture of our people includes many elements that differ from each other in their structure and construction. These include songs, fairy tales, riddles, as well as proverbs and sayings. The latter are short and capacious oral sayings that should be understood not literally, but figuratively.

Types of proverbs

Over the centuries, many proverbs and sayings have been formed related to different topics. Some refer to natural conditions, others describe the nature of the situation, others are associated with animals, the life of people. There are proverbs and sayings regarding the definition of weather in different days. A proverb with a number is one of the most common expressions and can refer to a wide variety of categories. At the same time, it can be distinguished into an independent category.

The use of numbers in sayings and proverbs reflects the development of digital counting in humans since ancient times. Often, proverbs with numbers have a special meaning, since each number previously denoted a certain sacred concept, for example, the unity of God, two opposite principles, the “magic” seven, etc. Proverbs can contain a variety of numbers, but most often numbers from 0 appear up to 9, for example, proverbs and sayings with the number 7.

Proverbs with a unit

Sayings containing the number 1 are quite common. Their meaning can be very different and characterize conflict situations. A typical example is the following saying: "one man is not a warrior." It shows that no matter how skillful and strong man, he can only deal with the problem with the help of someone else. The next proverb with the number 1: "one foot here, the other there." This expression figuratively shows that a person moves very quickly, did not have time to leave this place - as he had already returned. Most often, this proverb is admonished, if necessary, so that the time of absence is minimal.

Another expression containing a unit is “one broken is better than two unbeaten”. It means gaining experience that will help in the future to cope with difficulties, while those who have not received experience - "unbeaten" may not be able to cope with the situation. And such a saying as “one field of berries” speaks of the similarity of two people or that a person is well suited for something.

Proverb with number 2

The deuce gets into short sayings no less often than one. One of the well-known expressions can be called "chasing two hares - you will not catch one." The meaning is interpreted in such a way that one should not do two things at once - each of them can turn out badly in the end. Therefore, it is worth doing one thing, and then moving on to another.

"Two boots of a pair" - this can mean that two people are well suited to each other, they have a similar opinion and act in a similar way. “Like two drops of water” - they talk about something that has a strong resemblance. It could be like inanimate object, and Living being or a person.

Proverb with number 3

The number 3 is as popular as being used in short sentences. One of them is "to get lost in the three pines". This means getting confused in a simple situation, not finding a way out where in fact everything is simple. “They have been waiting for the promised three years” - the number 3 shows that it will take a very long time to wait for something, or it will not work at all.

“From three boxes” means a lot, most often they say this about a lie. The number 3 usually means a large number of something, since when the account appeared at first there were only one and two, the three appeared much later.

Sayings with the number 4, 5,6

The most famous sayings with the four can be called: "sit in 4 walls." It means being isolated from other people, not seeing anyone, being constantly alone. “To all four directions” means anywhere, when someone is driven, or, conversely, they let go and do not want to know where the person will go.

Sayings with the number 5, the most famous of which is "like the back of your hand." It means to know something well, thoroughly. “Like a dog’s fifth leg” is an unnecessary element that you can do without. These number expressions are not as common as proverbs with the number 7.

The number 6 is found in various folk sayings much less frequently, and they are less well known. An example is "bast shoes were lost, they searched the yards, it was 5, it became 6." The meaning of this proverb may indicate inaccuracies in the conduct of any business.

The popularity of the number 7

Proverbs and sayings occupy a special place among others. The number 7 has always been given an important sacred meaning, even in the Biblical texts you can find numerous references to this number. It is not surprising that proverbs with the number seven are so numerous.

A vivid example is "measure seven times - cut once." This is perhaps one of the best proverbs with a number. Its meaning implies careful thought before making a final decision. “Seven miles of jelly to sip” is very far, a long distance that can be overcome in vain. “One plows, and seven wave their hands” - in the team only one person (or a minority) works effectively, the rest do not bring any benefit.

“Seven do not wait for one” - it is understood that one person should be guided by the others, not delay them and not force them to change plans because of him. Proverbs with the number 7, of which there are many, reflect a person's attitude to this number, which was previously considered sacred, mysterious and mysterious.

Proverbs with other numbers

As for other numbers in sayings, there are fewer of them than with one, two or seven. Yes, most famous expression, containing the number 8, can be called "spring and autumn - on the day of weather eight." It refers to the variability of the weather during these transitional seasons, when warm and sunny can quickly change to cold and overcast.


The number 9 is even rarer. An example is "nine people - it's the same as a dozen." The same expression can serve as an example of a proverb containing several numerals.

Other proverbs and sayings with numbers are those with references to the numbers 10, 25, 40, 100, 1000. It is these meanings that can be found in sayings. “One smart man drives ten crazy people”, “forty years is a woman's age”, “hands will overcome one, and knowledge - a thousand” and others like them. In addition, there are proverbs containing several numbers at once, as well as proverbs with the number 0, 33, 12. Other numbers in proverbs and sayings are very rare.

Action of sayings

Overcoming laziness is the survival of man at any time. That is why the wisdom of our ancestors is modern today. There are proverbs that were born in the age of the Internet. They are no less interesting, each with its own story. But the main thing is the action.
