Download or read book 2000 English Turkish Proverbs Idioms written by Osman Delialioglu and published by . This book was released on 2012-02 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Turkish language reflects one of the richest cultures in the world; it has given rise to an almost uncountable number of proverbs and idioms. Proverbs and idioms are a vital part of a country¿s culture which passes on from generation to generation. Proverbs arise from the past experiences of a society through a process of cultural accumulation; they provide a bridge between a society and its forefathers by reflecting past experiences in the present. Ignoring these proverbs will isolate new generations from their descendants; whereas, engaging with them will establish roots from the present to the past. Proverbs were first used by our forefathers after a long period of observation and experience; since their formation they have been used through the generations to explain or clarify specific and complicated situations. Idioms and terms explain a situation; they have their source in proverbs and stories. This book, in which I have arranged the proverbs and idioms alphabetically, has taken about six years to complete. However, I do not regret spending such a long period of work if it will be of use to linguistic students and to anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of either the Turkish or English language.

Download or read book 365 Proverbs and Proverbial Quotes and Idioms written by Aimee Kathartt and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-28 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the first 50 Days of a journal with 365 proverbs and proverb-like quotes and idioms for you to read every day and then practice their wisdom in your own way. The overall aim of the journal is to keep you focused, in a fun way, on what really matters in your life. We are both individuals and social beings, so our interaction with our peers matters as much as preserving our identity. The images accompanying the bits of timeless wisdom are meant to help you link the literal and metaphorical meanings of the pithy strings of words. Thus, you can further understand the ramifications of LOA, the almighty law governing the whole Universe. (Yes, opposites attract, but like attracts like, since the law of attraction is much more than a regular magnet, with plus attracting minus!) The quotes belong to famous authors, like Shakespeare; having been used alone so many times, they have become emblematic of daily life, regardless of period, hence their proverbial value. Please note that some of these witty sayings contain the original gender references: he. However, they refer to all people - that is, to both genders. You can start this 365-day journey at any time. Read the proverb or proverbial quote/idiom of the day and let yourself be inspired by it. If its subtle meaning is not very clear to you, feel free to seek more information from external sources. In this way, its true power will penetrate the conscious fabric of your mind, sinking deep down into your subconscious self. Afterward, in the allotted box, write down three words that come to mind in relation to the proverb or quote of the day. Don't interfere in any way with the process of assimilating both the form and the meaning of the proverbs. Their wisdom has passed the test of time - so much so that they have been on the lips of so many generations, mantra-like. Consider them powerful affirmations and let them permeate through your conscious ground. If you feel like it, you can write more than three words to personalize each proverb. In case you find new words or phrases, you can look them up in a dictionary, and then write their meaning in the box. In fact, you can write anything your heart dictates - there's plenty of room in the boxes. Also, you can read the whole journal like any other book, from beginning to end. Or you can pick any number you want, from 1 to 365 (Book 1, from 1 to 50), and use only that proverb as the perfect guidance for the day. This book is yours to play with in any way you like - listen to your heart! Whether you are a language learner and want to practice your English in a fun way, or you are a native speaker, this book may be what you are looking for to preserve your greatness in the midst of your everyday life.
