FAQ

Q: Please translate me Latin proverb / locution to English (or vice versa)...
A: Please do not expect from me to find you the translation of proverbs/locutions (or vice versa), especially the rare ones. I am not very good in Latin at all, and this page was from the beginning meant to be only my personal Latin proverbs and locutions' collection! Only huge response from readers made me to expand this humble project a bit.

Q: The proverb/locution on your page is originally Greek...
A: I am very probably aware of that. However (a) I do not know any old Greek and (b) Most probably Latin translation is better known than its Greek original. Why don't you start your own Greek proverbs' and locutions' page?
