This phrase is used to indicate that the frequency of something, rather than the quantity or intensity, is what really matters or has an impact. It's often used to refer to habits, actions or situations that might seem small or unimportant but can become significant when they happen regularly over time.
Examples
- Spanish: No te preocupes si solo puedes ahorrar un poco cada mes, recuerda que 'no es lo mucho sino lo seguidito'.
- English: Don't worry if you can only save a little each month, remember 'it's not about the amount but the consistency'.
