My knowledge of English Mahawray is limited. For example, some of ones that I have heard are:
“The best defense is an offense”
“Don’t get mad, get even”
These mahawray are fun to use. So enligten me. What do you call “mahawra” in English. What are some of the most commonly used ones that you have heard. Give me examples.
