Teny Miakatra Ifampierana Teny Midina Ifampifehezana
This proverb emphasizes the importance of speech and communication. When words are spoken with authority (descending), they are accepted without question, particularly if they come from someone of high status or power. Conversely, when words come from a person of lower rank (ascending), they must be contested and debated to be accepted. This reflects the notions of hierarchy and respect within the society. The equivalent in English could be: ‘The commander’s words must be obeyed while the proposer’s words must be discussed’.
