Saying是英語中的常用辭彙，兼具名詞與動詞詞性，發音為英[ˈseɪɪŋ]、美[ˈseɪɪŋ]。作為名詞時指代承載傳統智慧或生活經驗的諺語、格言，如"an old saying"和"common saying"；動詞則為say的現在分詞形式，表示"說""宣稱"等動作，常用於搭配如"saying goodbye"和"as the saying goes"。
其名詞內涵強調凝練語言形式的文化傳承性，多出現於口語及文學作品，通過簡明語句傳遞普遍真理或教誨；動詞功能涵蓋陳述觀點、說明事實等語境，在口語表達和書面引用中具有廣泛適用性。現代英語中兩類詞性形成互補，既可描述具體言語行為，也能特指文化固定表達。
該詞源自古英語secgan（"陳述"），經語言演變逐漸拓展語義範疇：動詞保留動作描述的基礎功能，名詞義項則從中世紀英語發展出獨立指代功能，最終確立為指稱諺語體系的專門術語。
