seanfhocal Gaeilge Flashcards
Tús maith leath na hoibre
a good start is half the work
níl uasal ná íseal ach thuas seal agus thíos seal
there is no noble nor lowly but up for an while and down for a while
ní hé lá na báistí lá na bpáistí
the rainy day is not the children’s day
bíonn súil leis an bhfarraige
there is hope with the sea
aithníonn ciaróg ciaróg eile
one beetle understands another
is namhaid ceird gan chleachtadh
a craft without practice is an enemy
Mol an óige agus tiocfaidh sí
Praise the youth and it will come (flourish)
Níl bua gan dua
There is no victory with hardship
Níl saoi gan locht
There is no expert without blame
Téann focail le gaoth
words go with the wind
Is maith an scáthán súil charad
A friend’s eye is a good mirror
Ní mar a shíltear a bhítear
It is not how it is thought is how things are
Is maith an scéalaí an aimsir
Time is a good storyteller
ní neart go cur le chéile
There is no strength until we get together
Is fearr lúbadh ná briseadh
Solúbtha
Saileach
It is better to bend than to break
- flexible
- willow - sally
