It’s week three of “Found in Translation”, the section of Newsnibbles where we work with our friends at Ammy’s Delight to learn a Dutch saying, and if it has an equivalent in English. It’s fun to learn what we all have in common, so if you have a version in your language, let us know, either in the comments, on Facebook or Twitter.
So, this week’s saying is:
De hond in de pot vinden
Which literally translates as:
Find the dog in the pot
But, used in context means:
All the food is gone
And of course, in English we say:
The cupboard is bare
What do you say in your language?
Hahhaha like the dutch one better. Thats more funnier then the English one
My cupboard is bare too :(( Would love to hear translations from other languages too!
