A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

In my culture we have a proverb: "Vodka without a beer is just a waste of money".
I am intrigued. Most of the cultures I'd expect to have that proverb have neither definite nor indefinite articles in their language.
Not sure what you're talking about. I'm Ukrainian. Was born in the Soviet Union.
Was expecting it to be "vodka without beer is just waste of money", in that case.
Looking it up, most sources seem to have it the other way around - "beer without vodka", as in there's no point wasting money on drinking unless you're going to do some hard drinking?
Unless I'm misunderstanding, you add those when translating so you don't get broken English?
