description	This paper examines how the Javanese views the concept of water. Water is one of the natural elements whose existence is essential for humans. This study examines Javanese proverbs containing the word “water” or banyu in Javanese through a qualitative paradigm and a cognitive linguistic approach.

The proverb contains metaphors so that in examining it, this research uses conceptual metaphor theory. Metaphor is not simply a language feature; it is also an embodiment of human nature.
