Translation of Tatiana Schnayder

Studying a foreign language, it is very important not only to know the words and the basis of grammar, but also to be able to apply your knowledge in a conversation. Your vocabulary will be much richer if you own not only bating phrases and words, but also by phraseologists, slang or proverbs.

In previous articles, we have already written about and. It is important to know, not only to enrich your own language, but also in order to explain with foreigners. After all, often in a conversation you can hear the use of phraseologism (for example, BąDź MąDry I Pisz Wiersze) or slang (Siema - Redfish. From Paul. Jak Się Masz? - How are you?) And then, even knowing the literal translation, you can not understand the essence of the said. That is why it is important to enrich your knowledge of a foreign language and constantly improve them.

This article is devoted to Polish proverbs. Like every people, the Poles have their own "piggy bank" folk wisdom, whose phrases still use. The proverb is a small form of folk creativity, the author of proverbs is usually unknown. Often this is a short rhythmized expression, which carries some generalized instructive thought or conclusion.

Proverbs usually have a didactic (instructive) bias and carry a certain hidden moral meaning. Very often in proverbs, metaphors, comparisons, allegories and other methods, with the help of which, actually, is served this instructive meaning.

Scientists argue that proverbs are not only instructive sentences. With the help of them, you can learn a lot about the people to whom this proverb owns, about his mentality and about certain national features. Thus, the ethnographers and folklinists are trying to determine the relationship between the content of proverbs and the national character; Psychologists are investigated in the process of creating proverbs, certain features of human thinking.

People have long loved to use proverbs in relevant situations, with which it was possible to briefly convey some instructive message. Even in medieval Europe there were whole collections of proverbs. About three dozen such handwritten collections drawn up in the XIII - beginning to this days. XV century Some proverbs even became the plots of the famous Western European artists of Peter Bruegel of the Elder and El Greco.

"Flemish Proverbs"Peter Bruegel Elder, 1559

Based on proverbs wrote whole works of art, put theatrical ideas and filmed movies. For example, a well-known comedy play of the Ukrainian playwright Mikhail Staritsky "For two hares" (1883) or the famous novel of Panas Peacemary "Does the wheels are roar when Nursery is full?" (1875).

In Polish, the term proverb - "Przysłowie" - introduced Angei Maksymilian Fredo (Andrzej Maksymilian Fredro) - a philosopher, nobleman, held the positions of Lviv Castelana (from 1654), Podolsky Governor (from 1676) and Marshal Seimas Commonwealth (from 1652). Fredo used the term "przysłowie" as the translation of the Latin word "Prurbium" and in 1658 amounted to the collection "Przysłowia Mów Potocznych".

Angei Maximilian Fredo

However, this was not the first Polish assembly of proverbs. For forty years earlier, Fredo, in 1618, Solomon Rusinsky (Salomon Rysiński) was a collection of Polish proverbs "Proverbiorum Polonicorum", which was compiled on Latin and polish.

"PROVERBIORUM POLONICORUM" (1618) - the first Polish assembly of proverbs
