What does ukhan tukka mean?
Ukhan tukka (उखान टुक्का) is the Nepali term for proverbs and idioms. An ukhan is a complete saying that carries a lesson; a tukka is an idiomatic phrase that completes its meaning inside a sentence.
How do I suggest a correction or add a meaning?
Email info@sangamadhikari.com with the proverb and what you know. Most of the collection still has no English meaning, so additions are welcome.
