Proverbs

Just a few more fun proverbs from the area....


Ní hé lá na báistí lá na bpáistí
A rainy day isn't a day for the children

Go n-ithe an cat thú is go n-ithe an diabhal an cat
May the cat eat you and the devil eat the cat

Aithníonn ciaróg ciaróg eile
A beetle recognises another beetle

Coimhéad fearg fhear na foighde
Beware of the anger of a patient man

Maireann croí éadrom i bhfad
A light heart lives longest

And the best one so far:

Tír gan teanga, tír gan anam
A country without a language is a country without a soul!
