«طَاطِي لْهَا تْفُوتْ»

The saying advises meeting an unnamed misfortune or hostile moment, with the 'it' left implied, by lowering oneself and letting it sweep past rather than standing upright against it. The image is of someone ducking so that a blow or gust goes overhead, leaving them unharmed once it is gone.

More broadly it voices patient endurance: many troubles are temporary, and quiet yielding often costs less than defiance. Depending on speaker and situation, it may be heard as sensible restraint or as counsel to submit to wrongdoing. It implies that pride or stubborn resistance can turn a brief hardship into a lasting injury.

Suitable when urging someone to stay calm and avoid confrontation during a passing difficulty, such as a superior's anger, a family quarrel, or bad luck, on the view that resisting only prolongs it. Less fitting where injustice clearly demands a response, since it can sound like advice to submit.
