This are just off my head.

Erry time I write something to /kc/ I always run into some idiom but now as I have to think of them I have a hard time recalling, and actual sayings are wanting to come up. Maybe those fit too.

itatja az egereket = give a drink to the mice; cries
én is azon járok = I walk on that too; when someone steps on your foot.
elhúzza a nótáját = to play his tune; beat someone up
benne van a pácban = he's in the marinade; he's in the trouble/fix, to be in the pickle
megy a lecsóba/levesbe = goes into the lecho/soup; it's done in the wrong way, failure, goes into the trash, will be thrown out, he/she/it dies

When peeps make an agreement to do something (liek drink a beer or do some kind of a work) but no actual plan is made, just generalities, they leave the decision to future occasion (depending on the level of relationship, it can imply it'll never happen):
- majd meglátjuk = we'll see
- a vak is azt mondta, azt mégse látta meg = said the blind as well, then he didn't

eb ura fakó = dog's master is dog (dog is the father of the dog); this was said by a Hungarian aristocrat, official, military commander after the Diet decided to dethrone the king in 1707, he said "dog's master is dog, Emperor Joseph isn't our king"; rarely this is used now without the actual context but I think I heard it last time when I was a kid
aki másnak vermet ás, maga esik bele = who digs a pit for someone will fall in it himself; I think this is self explanatory
bekanalaz = getting spooned in; in relation to the previous, this idiom means the one who stirs the shit a lot, he himself will be pulled into it by the spoon sooner or later
addig jár a korsó a kútra, míg el nem törik = the jug goes to the well until it breaks; someone does something regularly until he dun goofs

letesz valamit az asztalra = put something down onto the desk; having an achievement, used when boasting, or comparing oneself to others, or when you want other to shut up because you are the májer and he did nothing notable yet.
májer = major?; the best, the greatest, the boss etc.
nagy arcú = having a big face; someone who is boastful
bassza a csőrét = fucks somebody's beak; to be disturb by something
fingani a passzát szelet = to fart the passat wind

You know what's fucking my beak? That he plays the boss as if he had farted the passat wind. He should put something onto the table then he can have big face.

>>27561
*to be disturbed

>>27561
*fingani a passzát szelet = to fart the passat wind; to be the májer
fix'd that one too. And säging properly.

>>27564
I had the notion to combine these idioms of different origin together and use them. In English. Sounds fun and confusing.

>Lugar onde o vento faz a curva: "Where the wind makes a turn". A remote place.
ahol a madár se jár = where even the bird doesn't go. A longer use of this: where do you thread where even the bird doesn't?
az Isten háta mögött = behind God's back. A faraway place.
az Isten háta mögött, a béka segge alatt = behind God's back, under the frog's ass. A far faraway place.

Not an easy answer to the origin of our idioms. And not an easy find. I know books exist about this. Now I have relatively easy access to newspapers of any age, I could look around sometimes.

>>27564
no 31 comes from this

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abjad

In Britain and it's former colonies the expression "I won't pull the wool over your eyes" means "I won't try too fool you". There's a country (don't remember which) where they instead say "I'm not hanging noodles on your ears". Jag Bhalla wrote about this and many other idioms in his amusing book.
https://anonfiles.com/e2J7Rfwfnf/Bhalla_Jag_-_I_m_Not_Hanging_Noodles_on_Your_Ears_and_Other_Intriguing_Idioms_from_Around_the_World_mobi

P.S. There are free ebook readers for every mobile device. Check your app store.

One the Trudeau video made me remember of:
amit főztél, edd is meg = what you cooked, eat it too. You created the situation you're in, now suffer it through. There's a hint at the end that suffer it like a man but in most situation that layer of the meaning is dismissed and more of the gloating layer is the prevailing one.

傷弓之鳥

Impressing how local features, history, social structures, flora and fauna leave their mark on the formation of these idioms.
>Joanna I of Naples
How our countries are joined by the twisting twines of history.

szarkavarás = shitstirring; causing problems to others, usually done by in a "covert" way liek talking behind someones back

It's not really an idiom, rather case of an interesting way of creating a word.
magyaráz = making it Hungarian (I'm not sure how to translate it literally properly); translates to explain.

[i]Weder Fisch noch Vogel sein[/i] "To be neither fish nor bird" Making odd compromises or being indistinct
[i]Eulen nach Athen tragen[/i] "To carry owls to Athens" Useless and redundant activity
[i]Jemanden ins Pfefferland wünschen[/i] "To wish someone moved to pepper land" If you want someone to disappear or move far away (probably because India "pepper land" was one of the most distant regions people would think about)
[i]Die Flinte ins Korn werfen[/i] "To toss the musket into the grain field" To give up (soldiers who go AWOL are faster without musket)

>>28216
huh polish equivalents of some of those are very similar

uciekać gdzie pieprz rośnie - To run away where pepper grows

Didn't think that one would be universal.

>>28371
Another one in the same vein as the second one is "carroça vazia faz muito barulho" = "an empty wagon makes a lot of noise."

>>28491
There is the same proverb in Armenian.
Interesting to note, many other European languages have a similar proverb about barrels.

>>28492
Barrels?
Such as?

>>27823
>Quem não tem cão caça com gato
I've heard it was originally
"Quem não tem cão caça COMO gato"
Meaning "A houndless hunter hunts like a cat", as in, stalks his prey, which makes more sense to me.

>>28565
What everyday context can be that used as an idiom?

>>28566
It's used when you need to improvise. When you need to o something but don't have all the means/tools for example.

O olho do dono é o que engorda a vaca: "the owner's eye is what fattens the cow". Business proverb: profit only comes with intense managerial effort.

>>29427

Boiar/viajar na maionese: "floating in mayonnaise". Being distracted and/or detached from reality. Devised in prisons in Rio de Janeiro in the 70s as a replacement for escorregar no quiabo ("slipping in okra"), which had a similar meaning but came to be used for prisoners who made effeminate gaffes.

Don't let people think you're using standard italian.

Баба с возу - кобыле легче. "A female out of cart - [its] easier for the [female] horse."

basically its an ancient way to say "fuck off normies" and its only used in female variant or towards females (but has more general meaning).

>>32257
>basically its an ancient way to say "fuck off normies"

It's more like "oh, then fuck off, we'll be better without you".

>>32293
it can be used as in "good riddance", but here its more complex than just that

for example theres only female version of this idiom (and its normally used in somewhat female context, although rarely can be used for males too but normally shouldn't) and actually the female here that gets fuck-offed is an archetype for a normie or some useless retard (a ballast that makes the horse's life (and everyone's else) needlessly more complicated and increase hardship) (all females are normies especially the rural ones where its more endemic)

the female there is a kein bernd if you like, everyone is happy when it goes back to facebook even the horse

>>32296
Why does the horse have to be female? Is it like "this is kind of a 'girls' night' we're having, but between that girl and the horse the horse is actually invited"?

>>32301
no, the horse is actually 'female' because such was the word choice
i wanted to add a remark/explain this but i thought it would be too autistic or confusing

the fact that the horse is 'female' doesn't add any special sense or meaning to it but for some reason its a female horse

there are 3 kinds of horses
кобыла - female horse
конь - male horse
лошадь - any horse

for some reason they choose 'кобыла' (female horse), its not even that common because usually we call a random horse - 'лошадь' (any horse)

>>32257
>>32293
Oh I get it.
"Get out of the coach/cart - it will be easier for the horse to pull - the coach/cart will run easier/better"

>>32301
The word for the horse in the idiom is a mare.

>>32302
кобыла - mare
конь - stallion
лошадь - horse

>>32257
Poland has the same - "Baba z wozu, koniom lżej"

aranyköpés = golden spit; a funny saying, sometimes pseudo-wise (sometimes intentionally to make it funny), a wisecrack. At times unintentional, the one who says it does not aware of the humorous side of it, due to naivety (like children) or stupidity.

"Хоть горшком назови, только в печь не ставь" - even call me a pot, just don't put me in oven.

That means that words matter much less than actions.

>>32940
Elegant.

>sataa kuin Esterin perseestä
"It rains as if from Esteri's asshole"
It rains very heavily. Esteri is a woman's name and probably implies and older woman, but it's hard to say with such an old idiom.
I think Finnish has a lot of these pretty weak idioms where you just add dirty ideas to everyday occurrences, instead of saying something clever or timely. I'm pretty bored with them so I haven't developed a good memory for such things.

But then we also have words like "a reindeer's pissening" which is just the measure of land for how far reindeer will walk between two piss-breaks.

>>32964
>a reindeer's pissening
>how far reindeer will walk between two piss-breaks.
Would fit right in the imperial system.

I want to ask to the hues, how is Xiiiiiiii pronounced?

>>34271
That x at the beginning of the syllable is the same phoneme as ch (chamada, chapéu). The rest of the expression is just a matter of emphasis and intonation. Context and the ellipsis it's invariably paired with mean you'll fade out as you progress among the is.

>>34241

Conscription is a big thing here, especially when you want to avoid it, because army sometimes looks like prison here (although this isn't always that bad).

>kopasz = "bald/baldie"; fresh conscript

There is a pretty strict hierarchy, although it is changed when 2 years of conscription reduced to one, but it still works, and everyone know this hierarchy, even those who didn't experience army at all. It is dukh (spirit, smell) -> cherpak (dipper) -> ded (grandpa) -> dembel (demobilized), going by time of service. Some variation exists with intermediate rankings, but last two are required. Term "dedovschina" ("rule of deds") is used very often and has negative connection with army. For example, "ded" rarely does any cleaning work or something like this.

There also a large amount of army idiomatic expressions, mostly about stupidness of rules and stupidness of officers. For specific reason. army command thinks that free conscript is dangerous person, for outsiders and himself, so conscript always does some work to be tired. That works is often very stupid, from making square snowbanks, painting the grass in green (especially when high command visits) etc.
It is hard to write all these expressions, there are many, and they also often untranslatable because they contain wordplay to show low intelligence and bad style of commanding officers. Like "dig trench from fence to the dinner" ("to/until"), "you living like pigs in bear lair" ("pig" means dirty person), "soldier, your boots is your face" (about cleanliness of uniform), and many more.

>>34327
Was similar here. It was abolished before my turn to vacuumed in, but had relatives and pals who were conscripts and told a few anecdotes. Also read two "army reports" (of a blogger and a reader of his) which were full accounts of their time in the Defence Force, kind of a memoirs.
After WWII when the People's Army was organized three years were service at least for two decades maybe for 25 years. Then it was reduced to two years. Then 1.5 probably after the regime change then 1, then to 6 months. Was abolished around 2002-03 I think. There's always some talk to bring it back but nothing that can be taken seriously.
It could be useful. One could learn (beside how to handle a gun) teamwork, responsibility for oneself and for others, order, discipline, leadership skills, handling unexpected situations and some more, even a trade (like mechanic, accounting, chef, etc.) if it was properly done. But never ever had been done properly, so mostly it was a waste of time and unnecessary stress which quite a few can't bear and quit via self-headshot during standing on guard with live rounds in their mags.
Yeah, doing empty, useless and meaningless work is very typical and our soldiers too created their idioms: "clean this window until you see to home / until you see the horse on the roof", "this is the Hungarian Defense Force, we carry what is round and roll what is square". Ofc these seemingly pointless exercises do serve a purpose, they train soldiers to execute orders which might seem nonsensical to them, instead of questioning and hesitating. On the field, where orders come on the radio, and no time for explanations, and the soldiers shouldn't even know the background info which led to the decision upstairs, it is very useful.

>>34327
Conscripts were divided into three orders:
kopasz = bald, whom we already met.
gumi = rubber, in the midterm, I read somewhere that they could held the ends of their trousers to their boots with a rubber band, instead of tucking them into the boots, and this is the origin of the term, but basically it meant they could get away with some liberties. Mostly they were those who bullied the baldies.
öreg = old, in third term, waiting to be discharged. They didn't give a shit anymore.

The military university published a collection of the military slang. The author even wrote a little study about the topic, how the slang originates and differs from the jargon, how the words were created or where were they loaned from, etc. Throughout the whole dictionary he points out the wordplays and gives longer examples for the context.
I give the link even tho one needs to know Hungarian ofc, but it can serve as illustration.
http://mnytud.arts.klte.hu/sorozat/katszl/index.html
For the unexpected Hungarian visitors I upload the pdf maybe someone will be interested.

>>34350
I'm thinking of collecting a couple of expressions which I could present in a meaningful way (not based on wordplay etc). Good example:
aladin = Aladdin; the soldier in the upper bunk at the door who is the closest to the switch of the magic lamp, and whose job is to turn off the light at sack time.

>>35008

Russian part is mostly correct, although there are small inaccuracies. Like "white crow" is not "a rare find", but mostly about person who is too different from others, often slightly negative. Like "black sheep". And "led to white knee" is wrongly translated, original is "white heating" (like overheat metal), that form of "heat" sounds almost like "knee" - (до) каления / колена.

>>35008
No Hungarian. Who would have thought.

Huh I totally forgot about this: >>34350
gempa, kotu = every meal served in the Hungarian Defense Force. It's gibberish but if I really wanna translate it, it means dirt. Something awful and disgusting.
Typical use:
- What's for lunch today?
- Gempa with kotu.
- And tomorrow?
- Kotu with gempa.

>>35008
Not a lot here.

Sames here.

>>35756
>Saint Hilari
Don't know, but I found this https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sant_Hilari (it's not in english but here's the hungarian page https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szent_Hil%C3%A1r_(egy%C3%A9rtelm%C5%B1s%C3%ADt%C5%91_lap) )
>Sames here.
Yeah, I've also heard it in spanish guess it's a common phrase arround european languages

>>35756
>>35757
It's also in English.

>>35757
Sadly no answer in those articles. Hoped for performing some miracle, or being a drunk (tho one needs to perform lots of miracles to counterbalance drunkness if one aspires to sainthood), or tortured to death with lots of water (similar to that oil torture you mentioned).
Found something else. It's unofficial, but why not.

Chutar o pau da barraca: "To kick the camp tent's pole". To lose one's temper.

Dar o braço a torcer: "To give one's arm up to have it twisted". To admit one's incorrectness. Frequently used in the negative to describe obstinate people.


>>35752
Catalan sounds weird. Oftentimes I can see how a word is related but only after being given a translation.
>A cavall regalat, no li miris el dentat
This one is universal. Cavalo dado não se olha os dentes.

>>35794
>Chutar o pau da barraca
Kek, I like that.

>>35794
Yeah there are some words that are more similar in portugesee than castilian.

ráfázik = to be cold onto ("he is cold onto", "he was cold onto", "he feels/felt cold onto"). Wooo, hard to translate, the meaning is to suffer the consequence for one's own action, taking a knock. It has quite a few variation, ráfarag (to carve onto), ráfizet (to pay onto), rábaszik (to fuck onto).
a fagyi visszanyal - the icecream licks back. Similar to the above, but has the implication of payback. It's more karmic.
For example, one can be cold onto when doing something illegal and get caught by the police, also one can torment a cat but it scratches its tormentor. From these two situations only for the second can the "icecream licks back" be used.

>>36756
The English phrasal verb 'to upend' is a better analogy.
anyway you are bad and you should feel bad for spreading our language
you also use the term karma
karma comes from India which means it's a gypsy term
you are a gypsy
you are the worst thing that has ever happened to endchan
Hungarians shouldn't feel good about themselves
only suffering Hungarians are real Hungarians
this is even worse than when you talked about the Hungarian word 'szerszám' being special
must be a STEMcel
I know that the humanities were murdered in this country decades ago. But still man, cringe.

or oh God, what if you're not even a STEMcel but a... gasp worker!

>>36781
I'm not sure you are being serious.
On one hand you write a load of bollocks, memes:
>karma comes from India which means it's a gypsy term
>Hungarians shouldn't feel good about themselves
>only suffering Hungarians are real Hungarians
On the other you appear to be arguing which means you want to be taken seriusly:
>The English phrasal verb 'to upend' is a better analogy.
>szerszám is not special
And not to mention the name calling and ad hominems you are directing toward me. This also begs the question why do you even come back if you can't stand me?
So all in all I think you just memeing here.

>>36785
I'm mentally ill bro.
I only noticed it just now that it's an idiomatic expression thread.

The Hungarian is a sanguine nation, not melancholic. Magyar tűz, szalmaláng (= Hungarian fire, flames of hay). Deep emotions, but passing fast, and changing. But since these are strong emotions it is easy to believe they are the standard.

>>35752
How could I forget the most used one!

-No hi han moros a la costa "There are no moors in the coasr"; comes from the reconquista and the moor raids, it means that ceirtan place is free from unwanted agents

Slovo za slovo, huem po stolu - word for word, dick hit the table

Used to describe the escalation of a conflict, namely the transition from verbal disagreement to physical

kilóg a segge a gatyából = his ass is hangin out of his pants. He is poor. it can be used to anyone, me, you, us, etc.

leesik a tantusz = the token drops. Realizing something suddenly, usually something obvious, or The Truth. Tantusz was used for public telephones, when the Tantusz dropped made a noise signalling the connection was established. I think.

And now I'm gonna tell Bernd what noises various animal species make in Hungarian.
dog - vau-vau
cat - miaú
mouse - cin-cin
horse - nyihaha
donkey - iá
pig - röf-röf
hen - kot-kot-kotkodács
rooster - kukurikú
chicken - csip-csip
sheep - beeee
cow - múúú
goose - gá-gá
bird - csip-csirip
frog - brekeke
Something.

Looks very close to Russian version, but some differences exist. I don't know how to transliterate everything properly to latin script to preserve sounds though:

dog - gav-gav (гав-гав)
cat - miau (мяу)
mouse has no specific sound, just squeak
horse - igogo (игого)
donkey - ia (иа)
pig - khryu-khryu (хрю-хрю)
hen - kud-kud-kudakh (куд-куд-кудах), or just kud-kudakh
rooster - kukareku (кукареку). Hard to miss this word in Russian internet for specific reasons.
chicken also has no specific named sound
sheep - beee (беee) or meee (меее). Both sounds may be used for goats, some people think that beee is for goats and meee is for sheeps, but there is no strong rule.
cow - muu or moo (му)
goose - ga-ga (га-га)
bird - chick-chirick (чик-чирик), depending on bird, crows have different sound (kar-kar)
frog - kva-kva (ква-ква)

Thank you for humoring me, maybe the others will join.
>dog
It's literally v and not u, right?
>khryu
Sounds Japanese.
>rooster - kukareku
I think I knew about this one.
>Both sounds may be used for goats
Sames, but we have a specific for goat (which I forgot to add): mek-mek-mekeke (it can be just mek-mek, at the hen that can be just kot-kot too).
>cow - muu or moo
No surprises there.
>crows
Forgot about that. Sames kár-kár otherwise.
Also owl - hu-hú (hu-huu).
Maybe eagle/other predatory birds - víj (viij or viiy if I want to favor English way of thinking of pronunciation).

These simple things may be more serious than expected, they show subtle differences in languages and phonetics. Animal sounds are same everywhere, but for phonetical reasons in different languages they are described by different-sounding words.

It is related to way how language adopts foreign words too. For example, some variations of English sound "w" in Russian is "not so comfortable" for speakers, and speaker tend to use "v" instead. This may be seen in foreign words that were taken long ago and transformed, like Washington -> Vashington (Вашингтон), Watson - Vatson (sometimes people try to write Uotson instead to preserve original).

>It's literally v and not u, right?

It is written as "v", but may be pronounced close to "u" and to "f" (see above). Maybe often it is "f".

Russian "в" sometimes transliterated as "f", like in "Smirnoff", because otherwise English speakers say very different sound.

>Also owl - hu-hú (hu-huu).

Owl is "угу" (ugu) or "ух" (ukh).

The differences are minor: dog - au-au, cat - miau, rooster - cocoricó, pig - oinc oinc, frog - croac, bird - piu piu and so on. In IPA many are likely identical.
The guineafowl's sound is tô-fraco, I wonder how many European languages even have the onomatopoeia for it.

>guineafowl
It's csip-csirip too. Actually that has domesticated version, so the hen says kot-kot.

>>46108
I meant Numida meleagris, with its very distinctive noise:

I wonder how many Europeans know what guineafowl is.

>>46109
Looks liek an ostrich

That's definitely csirip-csirip.

Here they kept in hen yards of cloisters since 13th century. But peasant-farmers only keep them since the late 19th so they weren't a widespread staple food ofc.
Here's a website of a guineafowl farm:

They also offer advice on how to prepare them:

It's definitively tô-fraco.

Now it must be "beep-beep" for sure.

Guineafowls exist here in farms from 18th century (as wiki says, it was used first as decorative bird in royal zoos, so it is called "cesarka" from "tsar"), and now there even local breeds of them and meat production. I've hear about them sometimes and know that this bird exists, but their meat are rare and sold as high-priced product.

So I guess it is relatively unknown for general population.

>>46131
Sometimes I hear from an acquaintance or another that they keep guineafowls. They are just called "pearl hen" here so what I'm not sure is that people know it's a different bird than chicken.

>>46131
>>46138
It's a common peasant bird and the sound evokes rural nostalgia for many. Most probably don't think in terms of species but are still aware of its significant differences in taste and behavior from regular chicken.
Tô-fraco is a biased interpretation because it also means "I'm weak" and onomatopoeia directly corresponding to real sentences seem to be more effective in becoming the standard, even when they're not the closest to the real sound. A famous example is the bem-te-vi:

But no way it's csirp-csirp. There are a lot of othe ways to word it besides tô-fraco, but in any case you need at least two vowels.

Just had to post this

cigányútra ment = went on the gypsy way; used when gulped something into the wrong pipe and got coughing fit.

Poste mijando no cachorro: "Lamppost peeing on the dog". An absurd, outrageous situation, an inversion of the proper moral order.

Heh, that's a good one and can be incorporated into similar Hungarian sayings. We have "the rabbit's holding the hunting rifle" or the "the canned fruit preserves the granma in the mason jar". But basically any situation - or idioms - can be transformed to create this type of saying. Liek, the "coloring book is tearing apart the retard kid" the original saying/threat is: I'm gonna tear you apart like retard kid the coloring book!
Oh, in Hungarian:
a nyúl viszi a vadászpuskát
a befőtt teszi el a nagymamát
But
