Ishi no Ue ni mo San-nen

Ishi no Ue ni mo San-nen

Today I would like to introduce a Japanese proverb, 'ishi no ue ni mo san-nen' (石の上にも三年).

Imagine the true meaning of the proverb from its literal meaning.

Since 'ishi' (石) means "stone," 'ue' (上) means "on," 'san' (三) means "three," and 'nen' (年) means "year," the literal meaning of 'ishi no ue ni mo san-nen' is "three years on a stone."

Even if a stone is hard and cold, if you sit on the stone for a long time, such as three years, it will become warm.

Therefore, this proverb means that perseverance and patience will always bring good result one day.

石の上にも三年

今日は日本のことわざ「石の上にも三年」を紹介します。

文字どおりの意味から、ことわざの表す本来の意味を想像してみてください。

「石」は "stone"、「上に」は "on"、「三」は "three"、「年」は "year" を意味するので、「石の上にも三年」の文字どおりの意味は "three years on a stone" となります。

硬く冷たい石であっても、三年も座り続ければ暖まってきます。

このことから、このことわざは「辛いことも我慢強く辛抱していれば、いつか必ず報われる」ことを表しています。
