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. |
