Transcript of “A Turkish Fava Bean Proverb”
I found another Turkish proverb I really like that translates as a fava bean doesn’t get wet
In somebody’s mouth. Can you guess what that means? I don’t know what that means. It means
If you tell this person a secret, they will tell it to others. I think they’re running their mouth
So much that the bean can’t even get wet.
It dries out.
I like the way you phrased that.
I found another Turkish proverb,
Like you’re the kind of person
That goes out hunting Turkish proverbs.
That is because I am the kind of person
That says, oh.
Martha’s collection of Turkish proverbs
Is well known in these parts.
