This blog will discuss the meaning of the word Gobó.

What is gobó?

It has many meanings, but we discuss two here.

First

Gobó is a noun that refers to bodies of water (sea; river; lake; tributary). The word is expected in the dialect and can be used to ask where the sea or river is.

It’s also used as an adjective meaning “of many colours” (e.g., “gobó biyen”). This can mean either:

  • A colour like a turmeric or orange-red; or
  • Something with multiple colours; for example, artworkfeaturing several shades of purple hues would be described as gobo biyen (or “many-coloured”).

Second

The word ‘Gobó’ comes from the Tzotzil language, which the indigenous people only spoke of Guatemala in the past. It is the word for knowledge, but it was first used in the 16th century to refer to bodies of water. The word is most commonly used in the Tzotzil language to describe a body of water and any shellfish found in rivers, lakes and oceans.

Example 1 – Where is the sea? – Gobó nara nahin

In this example, gobó is used as a question. The sentence can be translated as “Where is your house?” or “Where are you going?” In both cases, the answer would be that it isn’t there.

Gobó can also be used as a statement: “My friends and I went swimming in the sea.” Here, gobó means “in” or “on.”

If something were to go swimming in the sea, it would mean it was underwater (because nothing sinks). In this case, gobó connects two clauses: one clause says what something’s location is (wherever it may be), while another describes how we got there (swimming).

Example 2 – River – Gobo Maharaj

The Gobo Maharaj is a river in the south of Madagascar. It flows into the Mangoro and two tributaries: the Betsiboka and Tsiribihina.

The Gobó is a famous river for canoeing because it has plenty of rapids, but if you are not experienced with canoes or rafts, it could be dangerous to go on this trip alone.

Example 3 – Lake – Gobó tsirika

Gobó tsirika means lake, but in the context of gobó tsirika Nahin (where is the lake), it refers to any place where there is a body of water.

So if you were asking about your neighbourhood park and someone told you it was a good place for fishing, they would use gobó tsirika nahin.

Example 4 – Tributary – Gobo Naura

The Gobo Naura is a tributary of the river Gobo Maharaj. It runs through the village of Jharkhandi and joins with the mainstream at Rupa Taluka in Chandrapur District, Maharashtra. It has a length of 60 km long, starting from its source near Rupa Taluka (Chandrapur district) up to its confluence with Gobo Maharaj River at Patgola village, which is some 10 km away from Bhivpuri town on National Highway No.9

Gobó is a common word in the dialect that refers to bodies of water, such as rivers and lakes. For example, gobó Nara means where the sea is.

Gobos are also common nouns used to describe things like:

  • a lake or river that cuts through your town/city;
  • an area where there are lots of people who fish at night;
  • an area with many boats on lakes and rivers at night (for fishing).

Inanwatan is a word that signifies a way of knowing or deep knowledge. This deep knowledge is what we call gobó. Gobó is thought to constitute the fundamental reality of being and experience an essential knowledge of nature and the universe.

This deep knowledge can only be acquired through practice, which requires exposure to all aspects of lifestyle for them to become integrated into one’s being; this process requires time and patience, but it results in the wisdom that becomes more fully realized with each passing day.”

Gobó is a concept that cannot be translated into English. It is an essential part of Inanwatan culture and has many meanings, but it is difficult to explain this concept in words. The best way to understand gobó would be through experience and reflection on your own life.

In the following section, we will try to explain what gobó means briefly:

  • Gobó is about being and experiencing reality as it exists;
  • It refers to ancestors who have passed away;
  • And land which connects us with our origins

Gobó is very difficult to translate into English because it is an essential idea for Inanwatan people with no precise English equivalent.

Gobó is a concept that has no precise equivalent in English. It can be translated as “being-in-the-world”, but this is not quite right; it’s more like being present without focusing on what you are doing or thinking about.

Inanwatan people talk about gobó all the time, but if you ask them what it means, they will say something like: “I was just thinking about my work today” or “I was reading this article on the internet while I was waiting for the bus“.

Gobó is thought to constitute the fundamental reality of being and experience an essential knowledge of nature and the universe.

Gobó is a deep knowledge of nature and the universe. It is a deep knowledge of the world around us, our place in it, and what we can do with this knowledge. Gobó is not simply an understanding based on personal experience or scientific evidence; it’s more like an intuition from a very ancient lineage.

The word “gobó” comes from the word gubón (pronounced gobo). In the Tzotzil language, this means shellfish; but in Spanish, it means “knowledge” or “wisdom.”

Gobó is also about our relation to ancestors and land, and this relation comprises reciprocity with the place and people.

Gobó is also about our relation to ancestors and land, and this relation comprises reciprocity with the place and people. The land is our mother, our ancestor; it gives us life, food, and identity. It is where we live, work and plays.

God has given the land to all the generations before us who have lived on her soil — thus, she must never be harmed or destroyed by any human being or nation of men (Genesis 9:3). So why do we destroy what God gave us? Because we think that if we take something away from nature, there will be less suffering in society, but this does not make sense because humans are part of nature too!

We should respect nature as much as possible so that it can continue giving us everything good without any harm done to present or future generations; otherwise, how could they ever know what love means?

All aspects of human life rest upon a fragile balance of relations maintained morally coherently through the practices of knowing and acting inspired by gobó.

  • The Inanwatan people’s relationship with their land: “The land is our mother; we must protect her.”
  • The Inanwatan people’s relationship with their ancestors: “We respect the dead because they were once alive like us.”
  • The Inanwatan people’s relationship: “We all share this world; it’s not just mine or yours.”

The Inanwatan word “üñtet” (to know) conveys its meaning most exactly when the prefix “not-” is added, as in “it-üñtet”, which refers to a profound knowing or understanding, deep knowledge acquired from experience. This deep knowledge is what we call gobó.

Gobó is the Inanwatan word for deep knowledge and understanding. It is acquired through experience, not from books or courses.

This deep knowledge emerges from the context of everyday life, which is why we call it gobó. Gobó is often defined as the place where deep knowledge and understanding reach their fullness, but this definition does not capture the essence of this state of affairs; it would be more accurate to say that at its core lies a sense of peace and stillness—a feeling that everything has been understood fully while yet somehow remaining alive within one’s being.

Although deep knowledge, like the emergence of wisdom through education, can be acquired anywhere, the place where it emerges and reaches its fullness is referred to as “gobó”.

Although deep knowledge, like the emergence of wisdom through education, can be acquired anywhere, the place where it emerges and reaches its fullness is referred to as “gobó”.

The first step in acquiring gobó is to understand what it means. We should not think that gobó refers only to those who have gained wisdom through education or experience alone.

Instead, gobó also includes those who acquire their insights through these methods and others, such as reflection or prayer.

All humans are born with some degree of understanding about how things work; therefore, they will develop this understanding naturally over time through their interactions with others around them—especially family members who provide nourishment for growth in one’s mind (see “Nurture”).

Conclusion

We hope this article has provided insight into the concept of gobó. Gobó is a difficult concept to understand, but you mustn’t let the complexity of this idea prevent you from understanding how everything we do depends on our relationship with the world and the people around us.

Inanwatan people believe that all aspects of human life rest upon a fragile balance of relations maintained morally coherently through the practices of knowing and acting inspired by gobó.

The most common usage is to refer to bodies of water like rivers and lakes, but gobó NARA nahin means where the sea is. This shows how flexible gobó can be when describing where something is located on earth or in the sky above us.
