Here are some proverbs taken from class notes from E. Jaiher's Patouà class of 1979.
La gialina chë cianto l'e chëllo cha fait l'öu.
'The chicken that sings is the one that lays the egg.'
~~
La maire e la filha
lâ bövën lu vin bun
e la pauro noro,
cuiccui l'eitupun.
'The mother and the daughter drink the good wine and the poor daughter-in-law sucks the cork.'
~~
La maire e la filha
l'az àn d'bèlli foudiël
e la pauro noro
i porto lu mantiël.
'The mother and the daughter have beautiful aprons, and the poor daughter-in-law wears a table cloth.'
