Seanfhocail Flashcards
As the proverb says…
Mar a deir an seanfhocal…
There’s no place like home
Níl aon tinteán mar do thinteán féin
Experience is the best teacher
An chiall cheannaithe an chiall is fearr
You can’t put an old head on young shoulders
Ní féidir ceann críonna a chur ar cholainn óg
Nothing lasts forever
Níl in aon rud ach seal
The far-off hills are green
Is glas iad na cnoic i bhfad uainn
Time will tell
Is maith an scéalaí an aimsir
Health is better than wealth
Is fearr an tsláinte ná na táinte
You can’t please everybody
Dá mbeadh soinneann go Samhain bheadh breall ar dhuine éigin
Nobody’s perfect
Ní bhíonn saoi gan locht
Laziness is a heavy burden
Is trom an t-ualach an leisce
Things aren’t always as they seem
Ní mar a shíltear a bhítear
A good start is half the work
Tús maith leath na hoibre
Easy come, easy go
An rud a fhaightear go bog, caitear go bog
It’s an ill wind that doesn’t blow good for somebody
Is olc an ghaoth nach séideann do dhuine éigin
People live in each others’ shadow
Ar scatha chéile a mhaireann na daoine
There are two sides to every story
Bíonn dhá insint ar gach aon scéal
Life is strange
Is ait an mac an saol
When the cat’s away the mice dance
Nuair a bhíonn an cat amuigh bíonn na luacha ag rince
Mind your own business
Ná bac le mac an bhacaigh is ní bhacfaidh mac an bhacaigh leat
