a Russian phrase about "sleeping on it"
// updated 2025-05-25 13:43
"Утро вечера мудренее" is a Russian folk idiom that encourages one to sleep on it because "the morning is wiser"...
Translated nearly word-for-word, it implies "morning [than] evening [is] wiser":
- утро (utro) = "morning"
- вечера (vechera) = "[rather than] evening"
- мудренее (mudren-e-ye) = "[is] wiser"
If, in the evening, we can't figure something out, maybe sleep on it so that the "morning" will provide a better solution?
