The word "Sustainable" comes from "Susta":
"Sleepiness, fatigue whereby one feels the need to lie down on the bed and rest. Lack of desire to do and the consequent lounging."
The dialect of my region, as it is often the case with dialects, includes peculiar sentences that package dense predefined semantics.
One such expression is"t' jambarà, t' ja perd[e]", which literally translates as "I will teach, I will lose you".
The expression is used in my region when A is trying to teach something to B, and A notices that B has little chances to master, or even grasp the basics, of what they're trying to teach.
It's kind of a warning from A to B: "put some good will and energy into this, or you won't learn anything".
