Proverbs: Translation, Meaning And How To Use Them. by dokkyelele(f): 7:44pm On Nov 28, 2011
Hello peeps
This is another learning thread. All you need to do is to write a proverb in your language, translate it in English then explain the meaning and how it can be use in situations.
Example;
Proverb.
'Kokoro tin jefo, ara efo lo wa'
Translation.
'The inset that is eating a vegetable, it is in the body of the vegetable'
Meaning.
If something is happening to someone let say a problem, the proverb is saying that the people around that person is the cause of the problem.
Thank you for reading and writing.
