===In conversation===
Proverbs are used in conversation by adults more than children, partially because adults have learned more proverbs than children.<ref name=":3">{{Cite book |last=Experts |first=Disha |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BuFgDwAAQBAJ&dq=Proverbs+are+used+in+conversation+by+adults+more+than+children,+partially+because+adults+have+learned+more+proverbs+than+children&pg=PA53 |title=Olympiad Champs English Class 8 with Past Olympiad Questions 3rd Edition |publisher=Disha Publications |isbn=978-93-88026-46-8 |pages=53 |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":4">{{Cite book |last=Experts |first=Disha |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YmVgDwAAQBAJ&dq=Proverbs+are+used+in+conversation+by+adults+more+than+children,+partially+because+adults+have+learned+more+proverbs+than+children&pg=PA105 |title=Olympiad Champs English Class 7 with Past Olympiad Questions 2nd Edition |publisher=Disha Publications |isbn=978-93-88026-45-1 |pages=105 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Brien |first=Terry O' |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=PEmuoQEACAAJ |title=English Proverbs |date=2011-01-07 |publisher=Rupa |isbn=978-81-291-1808-0 |language=en}}</ref> Also, using proverbs well is a skill that is developed over years.<ref name=":4" /> Additionally, children have not mastered the patterns of metaphorical expression that are invoked in proverb use. Proverbs, because they are indirect, allow a speaker to disagree or give advice in a way that may be less offensive.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Ross |first1=Rosetta E. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=C4tCCwAAQBAJ&dq=%22Proverbs,+because+they+are+indirect,+allow+a+speaker+to+disagree+or+give+advice+in+a+way+that+may+be+less+offensive%22&pg=PA24 |title=Unraveling and Reweaving Sacred Canon in Africana Womanhood |last2=Amenga-Etego |first2=Rose Mary |date=2015-12-15 |publisher=Lexington Books |isbn=978-1-4985-1822-2 |pages=24 |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":3" /><ref name=":4" /> Studying actual proverb use in conversation, however, is difficult since the researcher must wait for proverbs to happen.<ref>Elias Dominguez Baraja. 2010.
