IDIOMS

A little bird told me that...
Un pajarito me contó que

...
Mon petit doigt m'a dit que...

Don't push your luck!
No te pases! / No tientes a la suerte!
Faut pas pousser mamie dans les orties!

Stop spinning yarns / Stop making up stories
Deja de soltar cada historia
Arrête de raconter des salades

I call a spade a spade
Al pan pan y al vino vino
J'appelle un chat un chat

    Hi Alia. Are these " official" equivalent idioms? If you kinda know what I mean ...?

    @Alia 알리아 🤔 let me think about those. A little bird told me that... “주워들었다” when you don’t need to tell who tells you. Don’t push your luck. “나대지 마라” or as a proverb “벼는 익을수록 고개를 숙인다.”- As cereal becomes more ripe, the head hangs down I call a spade a spade. As a Korean chengyu, “호부호형” : 아버지를 아버지라 부르지 못하고 형을 형이라 부르지 못하랴. - I think this can be quite different in cases. 😁

    Stop spinning yarns. : 뻥치지 마라. (no exaggeration) I don’t know why I can think almost slangs about those in Korean. Maybe it can be negative? 😊 And thank you a lot for sharing it.

    @Paul Hi🙋🏻! Official, as in from the dictionary? I think so. I used crowdsourced glossaries and friends /family to double check😉

    @Ludmila 루지 Really😍?! Yayyy🥳. I don't get as many opportunities to practice Portuguese as I would like to so this is great news 🙏🏻👍🏻😁

    @Son JH Great, these are fun to learn😃! “주워들었다” yes👍🏻, in English in this case you can also say "I heard it through the grapevine". “나대지 마라” sounds a bit more general but I can see how it could apply. I like the proverb “벼는 익을수록 고개를 숙인다.”: the nobler, the humbler. I like it better in Korean😍 What is a chengyu? I am wondering if 아버지를 아버지라 부르지 못하고 형을 형이라 부르지 못하랴. has the same sense.🤔 감사합니다 ^^🙂🙂🙂

    @Mok @Son JH 🙂 Ok yes, let me try and explain these. I could try in Korean but I think I will make plenty of mistakes😥. Here goes in English🙂. A little bird told me that... (I was told something that may be true) Don't push your luck! (You were already doing well enough, don't get too cocky or you may lose what you've already achieved) Stop spinning yarns / Stop making up stories (Stop lying / Stop gossiping) I call a spade a spade (I say things in a straightforward way)

    @Alia 알리아 A little bird told me that~ (I have heard about something but I don't want to say who told me, 그냥 주워들었어, 누가 말했는지 목에 칼이 들어와도 말 못해, 안 알려줌) Don't push your luck(운만 믿고 까불지 마라, 운을 과신하지 마) Stop spinning yarns, etc.(말 좀 지어내지마, 거짓말 좀 하지마, 구라치지마, 화제 거리 만들지마, 구설수 만들지마) Call a spade a spade(할 말은 해야겠어, 소신껏 말하다, 있는 그대로 말하다.)😊
