冷ひや酒ざけと親おやの意い見けんは後あとできく

expression, godan verb (-ku)

you will appreciate your parents' advice as you grow older, just as it takes time to feel the effects of unwarmed sake

Proverb comparing the delayed appreciation of parental advice to the slow onset of cold sake's effects. Often used to remind young people that their parents' words will make sense later in life.

• 若わかいときは親おやの言いうことがうるさく感かんじるが、冷ひや酒ざけと親おやの意い見けんは後あとできくというから、いつかわかる日ひが来くるだろう。

  When you're young, your parents' words feel annoying, but as the proverb goes, 'cold sake and parents' advice are appreciated later,' so the day will come when you understand.
