Proverbs

These proverbs are rough equivalents and are not direct translations.


Familiarity breeds contempt

Shiddat il'ulfa tusqit ikkulfa


You can't escape fate

'Illi min naSi'bak yiSi'bak


The only thing constant in the world is change

'Iddunya ma'hish dayma


We all have our ups and downs

Yo'm lak wi yo'm 'ale'k


To err is human, but forgiveness is divine

'Ahl issama'H mila'H


Spare the rod, spoil the child

'Iksar lil 'ayyil Dil' yitla' lu tne'n
