Pix & Proverbs!

[EmpanadaRica]

I thought it might be nice to make/have a thread to practise our knowledge of proverbs/ sayings/ expressions (proverbios/dichos/expresiones) in English and Spanish.:)

You can use the proverb of the language you like to practise, just mention in your post whether it is a proverb in English or Spanish (or both, because many times similar proverbs exist in both languages ;))

Just post one or two pix to symbolize the proverb/saying/expression. Other people can then try to guess which proverb it is you had in mind. You can give hints (dar pistas) also if you like.

The person guessing it right can post a new proverb/saying and so on. :)

Hope you'll enjoy this game! :p


I'll go first with hopefully a not too difficult proverb/expression which exists both in English as in Spanish, but it's slightly different (though meaning the same). :)

The bird in the hand means piece.

Os doy una pista, si no os lo dais cuenta del respuesta

Ahorrar ->Ganar
Save->Earn

A penny saved is a penny earned?

Es un centavo ganado un centavo ahorrado (?)

I'm thinking the saying in English, in Spanish the images should be complitely different.

Yes :p
In spanish I think it is: "Al que madruga Dios lo ayuda."

[bobjenkins]

:thumbsup: :p

Hmm puede ser, ¿' Silence before the storm' ? :confused:

¿No sé si hay un dicho o proverbio parecido en español?

Tal vez podría ser ' Cuando hay tormenta, con Dios se cuenta.' .. :thinking:
Pero no veo 'dios' en las fotos.. :D :p

Es la calma que precede la tormenta:) The calm before the storm:)

Es la calma que precede la tormenta:) The calm before the storm:)

Yes I knew tormenta but I couldn' t find a proverbio matching it :confused:

I translated the Dutch version it seems because we say 'silence ' (stilte) instead of 'calm' .. :D

[EmpanadaRica]

Ok nuevo proverbio/dicho. ¡Esto es en español! :p

:thinking:Hmm necesito una indirecta:D. Pero esas tortas me quedan hambre!

[chileno]

English: ' A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush'

or :

Spanish: 'Más vale pájaro en mano que ciento volando' :)



Question: In Dutch is it a hundred flying about or two in the bush, or maybe something else...? :)
