PORTUGUESE PROVERBS - Donatas Činikas

"Mente sã em corpo são."

§ Translation in English: "A healthy mind in a healthy body"

§ Translation in Lithuanian: „Sveikame kūne – sveika siela“

§ Meaning: if you want to be healthy spiritually, firstly you must care about your body and keep it healthy. Also it could mean, that if you want live harmonious live you must be healthy both physically and spiritually.

"Na adversidade é que se prova a amizade."

§ Translation in English: "Friendship is proven in adversity"

§ Translation in Lithuanian: „Tikra draugą pažinsi nelaimėje“

§ Translation in Lithuanian: „Tyli kiaulė gilią šaknį knisa“

§ Meaning: it means that a person who talk less about his plans and methods of accomplishing something normally will reach higher results than one who only boasts and talks instead of doing his work.

In conclusion I want to say, that I was really surprised that Latin, English, Portuguese and Lithuanian languages have so much in common when talking about proverbs. So now I wonder which nation was the first to create those proverbs and which nations simply copied them.

PORTUGUESE PROVERBS – RINGAILĖ JUOZAPAVIČIŪTĖ

Proverb is a short pithy saying in frequent and widespread use that expresses a basic truth or practical precept.

"Cão que ladra não morde."

• Translation: „Barking dog doesn't bite“ or „Beware of the dog that does not bark“

• Lithuanian: “Daug lojantis šuo nekanda.”

"Diz-me com quem andas dir-te-ei quem és."

• English translation: "Tell me who you gather with and I'll tell you who you are."

A man is known by the company he keeps. People who are around you influence your behaviour. Mostly a man choose a friend who have the same attitude in the life.

"Vai muito do dizer ao fazer."

• English Translation: There's a long way from saying to doing.

• Lituanian: Lengviau pasakyti, nei padaryti.

When you face a problem many people tell you how to deal with it. But it's easier said than done. Dealing the problem require many efforts. In this process you may face other difficulties.

I choose these three proverbs because I really use them in my daily life. Doing this research I found many interesting proverbs from Portugal. Some of them are related with the culture of Portugal, like the sea, history. But most of them are international and many cultures use these sayings.

Portuguese Proverbs- Arminas Jurgaitis

• O barato sai caro. What is cheap is costly. Skūpus moka du kartus. The cheap things prove to be expensive at the end. If you buy quality, you only cry once. If you buy cheaply, you pay dearly.

• Mais vale tarde do que nunca. Better late than never. Geriau vėliau nei niekada.

Do what you got to do. Even if it's later than the deadline. Do it no matter how late are you. It won't be worse anyway.

Portuguese Proverbs - Grete Bruzaite

A proverb, (from the Latin proverbium), is a simple and concrete saying popularly known and repeated, which expresses a truth, based on common sense or the practical experience of humanity.

Proverbs are often borrowed from similar languages and cultures, and sometimes come down to the present through more than one language. These are three Portuguese’s proverbs which equivalents I found:

1. "Uma desgraça nunca vem só."

English translation: A misfortune never comes alone

Lithuanian translation: Nelaimės po vieną nevaikšto

This is usually said when some bad things happened in short period of time.

2. "Não ponhas a carroça à frente dos bois."

English translation: Don't put the cart before the horse

Lithuanian translation: Nestatyti arklio pirma vežimo.

Don't put the cart before the horse" (proverb) says be sure to do things in the proper order, ie. the first thing first, the second thing second, etc. Example: "Hey! First we attatch it, then we put on the chains. Don't put the cart before the horse."

3. "Mais vale tarde do que nunca."

English translation: Better late than never

Lithuanian translation: Geriau vėliau negu niekada.

Better late than never means that it is better to do something late than to never do it at all. Also it is often used as a polite way to respond when a person says "sorry" for being late or that even if you are going to be late, you should still go ahead and do the thing, because it is better to do it late than to never do it at all.

PORTUGUESE PROVERBS – Tomas Nagelė

O amor é cego (eng. Love is blind, liet. Meilė akla).

This expression says, that when person falls in love with another person, he doesn’t notice things, that may annoy him. It means that you are attracted to a person and some of his manners or habits, which shade others. Also this means, that you do everything to know this person, don’t take attention to things going around you, even some stupid things.

O fruto proibido é o melhor (eng. Forbidden fruit is the sweetest, liet. Uždraustas vaisius yra skaniausias).

It means that if you forbid someone to do something, that person will want to do it even more. It is just like with children, then you forbid them to eat sweets, they want them even more. This expression is come from the Bible, then Adam and Eve were banished from heaven, for eating the forbidden fruit.

Na hora da necessidade é que se conhece o amigo (eng. A friend in need is a friend indeed, liet. Tikrą draugą bėdoje pažinsi).

This expression is usually used, then you want to separate real friend from friend, who is just using you, or who just pretend being your friend. It means, that real friend will always help you, when the help is needed, he will never turn a back on you. Also you can count on him.

Portuguese have lots of different expressions and I don’t think, that Lithuania have that much. It is good, then you can enrich your speech with proverbs, because the speech then is more live and involving. In Portugal there are a lot of proverbs, that is not used in Lithuania and this is more interesting to learn about other culture.

Portuguese proverbs - Donata Garliauskaitė

Proverb is a simple and concrete saying widely known and repeated, expresses a truth, based on common sense or the practical experience of humanity. Normally they are metaphorical. Proverbs are often borrowed from similar languages and cultures, and sometimes come down to the present through more than one language. Frequently they have different phrase but the meaning comes down the same. For example:

• Antes tarde do que nunca. Better late than never. Geriau veliau negu niekada.
It means that it is better to do something later than not to do it at all. Also, it is often used as a polite way to respond when a person says "sorry" for being late.

• Nem tudo o que reluz é ouro. All that glisters is not gold. Ne viskas auksas, kas auksu žiba.
The expression, in various forms, dates from at least as far as the 12th century. It is a well-known saying, meaning that not everything that looks precious is precious. This means that appearances can be deceptive and things that look or sound valuable can be worthless.

• Aquele que me tira do perigo, é meu amigo. A friend in need is a friend indeed. Draugą pažinsi nelaimėje.
A version of this proverb was known by the 3rd century BC. Quintus Ennius wrote: 'Amicu certus in re incerta cernitur'. This translates from the Latin as 'a sure friend is known when in difficulty'. On the balance of varienty evidences, nowadays the meaning of this proverb is „A friend, when you are in need, is someone who is prepared to prove their friendship by their deeds”.

All these three proverbs have a different meaning but proclaim the same truth in real life. They are not published first time. They are using in a daily life by thousands of people and passing on from one generation to other. It is interesting that in three different language (portuguese; english; lithuanian) these proverbs have similar translation and they are easy using and understanding for people from different countries and cultures.

Portuguese proverbs - Kristina Prancikevičiūtė

Nothing defines a culture as distinctly as its language, and the element of language that best encapsulates a society’s values and beliefs is its proverbs.
1. Antes que cases, vê o que fazes.English translation: Before you marry, watch what you do.
Lithuanian translation: Prieš darant pagalvok. (Think before doing.) Devynis kartus pamatuok, dešimtą – pjauk. (Nine times mesure, then cut).
This proverb is very useful not only before the wedding when you are in love and you think that the life is and will be perfect with your partner but also, in general, before doing something. In french, a very similar proverb exists: “L’amour est aveugle, le mariage lui rend la vue”, a film about this proverb has been created also.
2. Junta-te aos bons e serás como eles; junta-te aos maus e serás pior que eles.
English translation: Go with the good and you'll be like them; go with the evil and you'll be worse than them.
Lithuanian translation: Su kuo sutapsi, toks pats patapsi.
This proverb means that you should care with who you go around with, who is your friend. It’s true that the people with who you spend your time influence your behavior so, for this reason, you should be careful.
3. Não deixes para amanhã o que podes fazer hoje.English translation: Don’t leave for tomorrow what you can do today.
Lithuanian translation : Nepalik rytojui to, ką gali padaryti šiandien.
This proverb means that you shouldn’t leave the work for an other day if you can do it today. Especially, it’s a very good advice for students because many of them do their homework’s at last minute and the quality not always is very good.
Portuguese language is very rich in proverbs and some of them are very original, for exemple:
Lisboa é praça de armas, Coimbra dos estudantes, Porto dos mercadores, Vila Real dos amantes.
English translation: Lisbon is square of weapons, Coimbra of the students, Porto of the merchants, Vila Real of the lovers.
Se a vida lhe der um limão, faça dele uma caipirinha.
English translation: If life gives you a lemon, make a caipirinha out of it.

No equivalent in Lithuanian J

I was really surprised that there are so many similar proverbs in Portuguese, English, French and Lithuanian. But I found also a lot of proverbs which I didnt hear before, Portuguese language is very rich of different kind of proverbs.

PORTUGUESE PROVERBS - Goda

1."A fruta proibida é a mais apetecida."- The forbidden fruit is the most desired.

The proverb depicts the idea about people’s desires. Things which are elementary available for them is not interesting or attractive. While the ones they can not get so easy are very exciting, beautiful and they want to get it without thinking about consequences.

"A fruta proibida é a mais apetecida" proverb has it’s prototype in Lithuanian culture. The prototype is ‘’Uždraustas vaisius – saldžiausias.‘‘

2."Mais vale tarde do que nunca."- Better late than never.

Better late than never means that it is better to do something late than to never do it at all. For example, many people, who have not finished university, find it really difficult to come back after some years. But it is better to finish university later than never.

This proverb has equivalent in Lithuania ‘’Geriau vėliau, negu niekada.’’

3. "O dinheiro não nasce nas árvores."- Money doesn't sprout on trees.

It means that you have to work in order to get money. Many people say money doesn't grow on trees, because typically trees are abundant, and the things that grow on trees are easy to get.

Equivalent in Lithuania - ‘’Pinigai ant medžių neauga.’’

All in all, it was very interesting for me to find out that so many proverbs have equivalents in different languages. The equivalents of proverbs suggest that people are similar in the different parts of the world.

Portuguese proverbs by Mante Makauskaite

Portuguese: quem nasceu para burro nunca chega a cavalo.

English: who was born to be a donkey never makes it to horse.

Lithuanian: asilu gimęs, žirgu netapsi; ar taip asilui dėsi kepurę, ar kitaip - vis tiek ilgos ausys matyti.

Meaning: it is impossible to hide the nature.

Portuguese: vale mais um burro que nos leve que cavalo que nos derrube.

English: a donkey that carries you is better than a horse that throws you to the ground.

Lithuanian: geriau asilas, kuris neša, negu arklys, kuris numeta; geriau žvirblis rankoj, negu erelis danguj.

Meaning: modestly, but safely; it is better less than nothing.

Portuguese: a cavalo dado não se olha os dentes.

English: don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Lithuanian: dovanotam arkliui į dantis nežiūri; arklį gavęs, gaidžio negeisk.

Meaning: don't be too choosy when something comes to you without effort.

It was always interesting for me, why there are so many proverbs about donkeys and their foolishness, because they are really cute animals, in my opinion. Now I found that the same situation is in portuguese. What a pity! J

PORTUGUESE PROVERBS – Rasa Mikulevičiūtė

Portuguese: zurros de burro não chegam ao céu
English: a donkey's cries don't reach heaven
Lithuanian: šuns balsas į dangų neina
Meaning: say no more silly things, I'm not even listening

Portuguese: para lá do Marão mandam os que lá estão
English: beyond the Marão, it's those who are there are in charge
Lithuanian: kieno vežime sėdi, to ir giesmes giedi
Meaning: you must heed local rules

Portuguese: o barato sai caro
English: what is cheap is costly
Lithuanian: skūpas moka du kartus
Meaning: the cheap things prove to be expensive at the end


As I was always interested in sayings, it was very useful to get known with some of them in portuguese. But all in all the only conclusion, which I have made, is that almost all proverbs and sayings are the same in every language. (:
