水滴石穿

Re: 水滴石穿

Oh and I think 水滴石穿 may be... “constant dripping wears the stone”... believe me, I know what you mean.

That's what it literally means, but it's a proverb or saying or one of those types of phrases. Maybe the word is 'metaphor'?

I agree it is a metaphor, and I think we all understand the basic meaning about persistence.
I just posted it because the translation hadn't yet been listed.
