Mot à mot




Turkish saying: “Çocuk oyuncağı!”

Direct Translation: “Kid’s toy!”

What it really means: “Easy as a pie!”

Mot à mot translations are fun, especially if you see me translating my Turkish proverbs and sayings into English.

My keen interest in proverbs and sayings comes from two facts: First, each one is, in itself, a short story. Second, their impact is instant; a cartoon cloud pops up containing a colourful image to tell that story.
