SPANISH PROVERBS

Dime con quien andas y te diré quien eres

Dime = tell me (decir = to say/tell)
Quien = who
Andar = to walk (to go out with)
Literally translated: Say with whom you walk and I will tell you who you are

This is similar to the English saying:
A man is known by the company he keeps

Perro que ladra no muerde

perro (= dog)
ladrar (= to bark)
morder (= to bite)
Literally translated means “Dog that barks doesn’t bite.”


This is similar to the English saying:
A barking dog doesn’t bite.His bark is worse than his bite.


This is used when someone makes a lot of ‘noise’ about being a certain way (like a barking dog pretending to be a lot tougher than it really is).
When someone is ‘full of hot air’ and doesn’t carry out the threats that they make.



This is my handsome dog Thomas, a cute 3 year old Yorkshire :)





No todo lo que brilla es oro

todo = all
oro = gold
brillar = to shine/glitter/sparkle

The English version of this is: “No all that glitters is gold.”

Means: Some things are not what they appear to be. Something may appear perfect and beautiful but that perfection is only appearance and the reality may be different and not so beautiful.
