Proverbs and idioms are the richnesses of language that host the subtleties of words’ meanings in themseles at the same time as containing within their essential state the experiences of a nation that are its cultural heritage. Some words can also be forgotten with time as certain new words spring up; only the preservation of proverbs and idioms allows us to minimize this forgetting. Additionally, even if the meaning of some words are forgetten, if these words live on in a proverb or idiom, the meaning of these words can also be remembered and regained to these words with time by virtue of the intimacies intoned in these proverbs and idioms. One example of these intoned particularities, “Eski çamlar bardak oldu.” which is used these days in the sense of ‘times have changed and old attitudes don’t retain their value,’ is the preservation of the subjected meaning of the word bardak in its meaning from the phrase ‘water jug made from pine.’ However, any proverb or idiom is able to fulfill the intimacies it posseses only as long as it is used. Therefore, studies should be perfomed on not forgetting proverbs and idioms and also on having their usage become more widespread. In this sense, one of the most momentous studies that need to be perfomed today on the issue of proverbs and idioms also would redound works written in the past in this area to our day. In fact, works written in the Ottoman period have been intoned as resources in many a study, and independent studies have also been performed on a portion of these works. Atalar Sözü Mecmuası, the work of Çelebioğlu Abdülhalim Hakkı and the subject of our study, although being catalogued in several reference lists, has unfortunately been deprived of this interest. This study focuses on the some of proverbs and idioms contained in the Atalar Sözü Mecmuası that have not yet been found in reference lists on proverbs and idioms but that have been recorded in various forms from what is in available sources.
