អន្ទង់វេងកុំបាចរកឆ្នាំងវែង
[antong veng kom bach rk chhnanng veng]
You don’t need to look for a long pot for (to cook) a long eel.
Initially I understood this as about thinking outside the box, or looking for creative solutions to problems. But it is used more for partnerships, or relationships.
Not so dissimilar to opposites attract, but more like saying you should look for a partner who has skills, characteristics or personality different to you. Someone who will complement you and not a duplicate of you.
