Good afternoon dear friends. I wish you all a great Monday and the soonest warm days, and to pass the time, read a short story dedicated to Italian and Russian proverbs.
I know that among you there are connoisseurs and connoisseurs of the Italian language, so proverbs will be of interest to everyone.

I really like the Italian language, because it is similar to Russian in many ways: it is just as rich and beautiful. Russian has a very large number of borrowings from Italian, sometimes absolutely amazing words come across, for example “walled up”, muro in Italian means a wall. But proverbs are very different, even if they have the same meaning.

In Italy, the use of proverbs is not as popular as in Russia, but I have chosen for you a few of the most famous.

So, let's begin?
1. Abbondanza di bene non nuoce.
Translation: good abundance does not hurt.
Russian proverb: You can't spoil porridge with butter.

2. Bue vecchio, solco diritto.
Translation: the ox is old, the furrow is straight.
Russian proverb: An old horse will not spoil the furrow.

3. Cade anche un cavallo che ha quattro gambe.
Translation: even a horse that has four legs falls.
Russian proverb: even an old woman gets a hole.

4. Chi asino nasse, asino muore.
Translation: who was born a donkey, a donkey and will die
Russian proverb: Who was born a wolf, he will not be a fox.

5. Chi va a Roma, perde la poltrona.
Translation: whoever goes to Rome loses his seat in his chair.
Russian proverb: the priest got up, she lost her place.

6. Dimmi con chi va, e ti diro' chi sei.
Translation: Tell me who you're going with and I'll tell you who you are.
Russian proverb: tell me who your friend is and I will tell you who you are.

7.La notte porta consiglio.
Translation: night brings advice.
Russian proverb: morning is wiser than evening.

8. L'occasione fa l'uomo ladro.
Translation: Opportunity makes a man a thief.
Russian proverb: do not put badly, do not lead the thief into sin.

9. Nessuno nasce maestro.
Translation: no one is born a master
Russian proverb: learn from mistakes.

10.Non svegliare il cane che dorme.
Translation: don't wake a sleeping dog.
Russian proverb: do not wake famously while it sleeps.

And a few more exactly the same as ours.

1.A caval donato, non si guarda in bocca.
They do not look at a given horse's teeth.

2. Batti il ​​ferro finche e' caldo.
Strike while the iron is hot.

3. Anche I muri hanno orecchie.
Even the walls have ears.

4. Sfortunato nel gioco, fortunato in amore.
Unlucky in cards, lucky in love.

5. L'abito non fa il monaco.
Not every monk wears a klobuk.

Write if you liked the proverbs and want to continue. This week I am leaving home, but interesting stories from the rubric “traveling with Svetlana” are waiting for you, we visited one of the most beautiful places Sardinia - Capo Caccia cliff. And, literally today, they made a dangerous climb into the mountains in search of an ancient nuraghe. Don't miss out on new releases.
I wish you all a wonderful mood and send you sunny greetings.

As you know, proverbs and sayings are a reflection of how this or that people sees the surrounding reality, how it breathes and lives, a storehouse of folk wisdom, the experience of many dozens of generations. So let's look at some masterpieces of Italian ingenuity:

1) Altezza e "mezza bellezza- High growth is already almost beauty.
What can I say, the average height of Italians is lower than, say, Russians, so tall fellows and stately girls are very, very valuable here.

2) Chi beve birra campa cent "anni- Who drinks beer, lives up to a hundred years.
Men, this is for you, now you will justify yourself to your wives, quoting Italian folk wisdom to them. Preferably, in the original language, for the best effect)))

3) Non basta avere i soldi, bisogna anche saperli spendere- It is not enough just to have money, you must also be able to spend it.
With taste, that is. Note to new Russians and others like them.

4) D "agosto moglie mia non ti conosco- In August, dear wife, I do not recognize you.
The proverb has ancient roots and contains valuable advice for men: do not overwork on the marriage bed during the hottest time of the year. Believe the ancients, they know better!

5) Chi dorme non piglia pesci- He who sleeps does not catch fish.
Everything is clear here: a fisherman cannot oversleep a bite!

6)Chi va a Roma, perde la poltrona- If you go to Rome, you will lose your chair.
Chi va a Milano, perde il divano- If you go to Milan, you will lose your sofa.
Just don’t think that our furniture is being stolen here, it’s the Italians who warn that not all changes are for the better, and that once you start moving from your familiar place, returning, you can find it already occupied. A holy place is never empty, so to speak)))

7) Gli ospiti sono come il pesce, dopo tre giorni puzzano- Guests that fish - stink after 3 days!
This is what you need and honor to know. And it looks like such a hospitable nation)))

8) I parenti sono come le scarpe, piu" sono stretti e piu" fanno male- Relatives are like shoes - the closer, the more painful.
In Italian, stretti means both "close" (relatives) and "tight" (shoes).

9) Il diavolo fa le pentole ma non i coperchi- The devil makes pots, but not lids
This means that any lie will sooner or later be revealed.

10) Meglio un morto in casa che un marchigiano alla porta- Better a dead man at home than a resident of the Marche at the door
Meglio un morto in casa che un pisano all "uscio- Better a dead man at home than a Pisan at the door
Yeah, that's how they love their neighbors from the surrounding villages in Italy. This all comes from the Middle Ages, when cities competed / fought among themselves for the title of the very best ...

11) Un buon vino, un buon uomo e una bella donna dura poco- Good wine, a kind man and a beautiful woman do not last forever.
Very pessimistic, but true. Especially in this combination.

12) Peccato di pantalone trova presto la soluzione, peccato di gonna fa arrabbiar la Madonna- A sin of a man can be quickly resolved, a sin of a woman angers the Madonna.
They mean that a man can go to the side, but women - no, no ?! Somehow it doesn't work well! Not fair! Where is Madonna looking??!!

13) Trenta dì conta novembre con april, giugno e settembre, di ventotto ce n "è uno, tutti gli altri ne han trentuno. - In November, April, June and September - 30 days, one month, in which 28 days, and in the rest - 31!
This should be learned by those who all the time - like me - forget how many days are in a month.)))

14) Vecchiaia con pazienza prolunga l "esistenza- Slow old age is the key to longevity.
There are many centenarians in Italy - and for good reason: everyone here con calma(leisurely)!

15)La vita è come un albero di natale, c "è sempre qualcuno che rompe le palle.- Life is like a decorated Christmas tree, there is always someone who breaks the balls.
Again, a play on words rompere le palle in Italian is both "break balls" and "wind nerves" (literally: break ... sorry ... eggs)

Someday next time I will write about Italian curses, but for now I wish you that your life does not resemble a Christmas tree in any way))))

How can you find out how the people of Italy live? What does he love and what does he condemn, what is he interested in and what does he care about? What do Italians and Slavs have in common? And most importantly, how to find out all this without visiting Italy in person? Actually the answer is simple!

If you look at popular Italian proverbs, you will notice that there is a lot in common between Italians and Russians. And all why?

From these Italian proverbs and sayings, it can be seen that the inhabitants of Italy are hardworking and optimistic people who honor the value of the family.

This is reflected in local proverbs and sayings.
