Persische Sprichwörter

This volume explores the wealth of Persian proverbs and is therefore helpful for anyone deeply engaged with the Persian language and culture. In everyday Persian, there are numerous proverbs, sayings, and idiomatic expressions, some of which are derived from classical literature and originally represented verses and half-verses of poetry. Some entries correspond in meaning with German proverbs, sayings, or idiomatic expressions; others express similar thoughts, but without full content alignment. The entries are presented in Persian script, transliteration, and with their German and English equivalents. In cases of content discrepancies, a literal translation of the Persian original is sometimes provided in German. For literary entries, the respective source is cited.
