Aate naal ghun vi pisda hai (ਆਟੇ ਨਾਲ ਘੁਣ ਵੀ ਪਿਸਦਾ ਹੈ) literally means the weevil is ground up along with the flour. It is a Punjabi saying (akhan) about company: a good person who stays with bad companions gets harmed, and gets judged, along with them. ## Meaning, word by word Aata is flour, ground from wheat, and in this saying it appears as aate, with. A ghun is the small weevil that lives in stored grain and flour. Pisda hai means is ground. At the mill, nobody can pick one tiny weevil out of the grain, so whatever sits with the grain shares the grain's fate. The saying takes that kitchen and mill picture and applies it to people and the company they keep. ## How is aate naal ghun vi pisda used? Elders use it as a warning, most often to the young, about choosing companions. If your friends get into trouble, being beside them can be enough for the same blame, the same punishment or the same bad name to reach you, even when you did nothing yourself. Lists of Punjabi sayings also record a longer form that adds a second picture, lakad naal loha bhi tarda hai, but the flour and weevil half is the form heard on its own in everyday speech. The lesson is about sangat, the company a person keeps, which Punjabi teaching has always treated as something that shapes a life. ## What does ghun mean in Punjabi? A ghun is a weevil: a tiny insect that infests stored grain and flour. In the saying it stands for the small, unwanted thing, or by extension the person, that cannot be separated from the bulk it sits in when the grinding starts. ## Is aate naal ghun vi pisda about flour or about people? It is about both. Literally it describes flour milling, where the weevil in the grain is ground along with it. Figuratively, and in almost every real conversation, it is about people: the company you keep decides how you are treated and how you are judged. ## Related words [ਸੰਗਤsangatCompany; a congregation](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/sangat/)[ਕਣਕkanakWheat; Punjab's staple grain](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/kanak/) Sources (3) 1.
