Diskussion:Lettische Sprichwörter

aus Wikiquote, der freien Zitatsammlung

Haben die in Lettland wirklich solche Sprichwörter? --Thomas 08:08, 18. Jan 2006 (UTC)

• "Für ein Lette der andere Lette ist das Leibgericht."

Na ja, diese Sprichworter habe ich nie im Lettisch gehört. Es ist doch wahr über den Lette als Leibgerich.

Daran habe ich keinen Zweifel... :-) Bloß kann nicht aller zeitgenössischer Volksmund als Sprichwort verkauft werden. --Thomas 23:06, 30. Jan 2006 (UTC)

Sorry for writing in english, but my German is very bad. I usualy laugh at what is passed of as Latvian proverbs and leave, but I acctualy like Wiki-sites to contain correct information. The proverbs in the article most likely are not Latvian proverbs, I even translated them to Latvian and tried to find them in proverb database but couldn't - Latvian proverbs are not philosofical, they are short and precise - time can't make beer, people do - so that they can be applied in variety of situations and we got proverbs about Latvians being favorite food of/wolves to other Latvians --81.198.247.88 14:55, 7.

Thank you for your comments - why don't you remove all proverbs that you do not consider authentic and add some wide-spread proverbs that really do exist? You can put in the latvian orgiginal with you own english translation, some wikignomes will surely translate them to German ;-)

If possible, also name a good reference for each prover, like a book about proverbs. --Hei ber 08:31, 8. Dez. 2007 (CET)
