A PEAR DROPS TO THE BOTTOM  OF ITS OWN TREE

 

​The saying "Armut, ağacın dibine düşer," which best translates to "A pear drops to the bottom of its own tree" is basically the Turkish equivalent of the English idiom "a chip off the old block" and refers to the generalization that children usually turn out like their parents.

An expression used of people who closely resemble their parents in some way: “Mark just won the same sailboat race his father won twenty years ago; he's a chip off the old block.”

Example: Just like his father, he plays football very well, either he falls to the bottom of a pear.
