Say Your Favorite Proverb In Your Mothers Tongue
« on: November 17, 2007, 02:52 PM »

Wanted you to drop a few lines of wisdom in your mother tongue. and say its meaning for all to understand

my favorite's this:

Oke soro ngwere ma nmiri, mmiri ko ngwere ogaha ko okey

meaning when a rat swims with a lizard when the lizards body gets dry, the Rat's own wont
