The previous post with Serbian proverbs and sayings covered letters from A to Đ, and now we continue from E to Ž:
E
1. E, darovnome konju zubi se ne gledaju (Don't look a gift horse in the mouth) - nowadays we tend to say "Poklonu se u zube ne gleda" (obviously the word "horse" is omitted, which makes this modern version a bit funny, but it's widely used)
2. E, da sam juče umro ne bih to danas čuo
(literally: If I'd died yesterday I wouldn't hear it today)
(literally: If I'd died yesterday I wouldn't hear it today)
3. E, dok jednom ne smrkne, drugom ne svane
(the death of the wolves is the safety of the sheep) -here's the fun definition
(the death of the wolves is the safety of the sheep) -here's the fun definition
4. E, dok se čovek dima ne nadimi, ne može se ogrejati.
(you must take the rough with the smooth)
(you must take the rough with the smooth)
Ž ( Ж is my favourite letter in the Cyrillic script)
1- Žena muža nosi na licu, a muž ženu na košulji
(literally: "A wife wears a man on her face, and a husband wears his wife on his shirt", which obviously mean that one can judge how a husband treats his wife by looking at her face, while one can judge how a wife takes care of her husband by looking at his shirt)
(literally: "A wife wears a man on her face, and a husband wears his wife on his shirt", which obviously mean that one can judge how a husband treats his wife by looking at her face, while one can judge how a wife takes care of her husband by looking at his shirt)
2. Žedna preko vode prevesti
(pull the wool over sombody's eyes)
(pull the wool over sombody's eyes)
3. Žena će samo onu tajnu sačuvati koju ne zna
(a woman can keep only the secret which she doesn't know)
(a woman can keep only the secret which she doesn't know)
4. Ženi sina kad hoćeš, a ćerku kad možeš
(Marry your son when you will, your daughter when you can)
(Marry your son when you will, your daughter when you can)

Recently my son showed me his newly bought booklet with numerous proverbs, adages, tongue twisters and riddles called "Vukova crtanka" (Vuk's Colouring Book). Let me list my favourite ones:
A - Ako je neko lud, ne budi mu drug.
Ako hoćeš koga da poznaš, podaj mu vlast.
B - Bez alata nema zanata.
Bolje umeti, nego imati.
V - Videla žaba gde se konj potkiva, pa i ona digla nogu.
Veselo je srce golemo blago.
G - Gladnog ne teši, već nahrani.
Gde je stida, tu je i poštenja.
D - Delo čoveka hvali.
Dogovor kuću gradi.
Đ - Đe (gde) je obraz tu je i duša.
Đe će kruška no pod krušku.
Q-A:
Pitao sin oca, kad je po svetu hteo poći:
- Od šta mi se valja najviše čuvati ?
- Od tuđe muke.
Tongue Twisters: (audio)
Pitala metla metlu, gde je metla metlu; Metla metla metlu iza vrata.
Čokančićem ćeš me, čokančićem ću te!
Cvrči, cvrči cvrčak, trči, trči trčak; trči, trči trk! Trčak trkom trči, crni cvrčak cvrči!
