I thought this might be a good idea to learn some stuff. Some literary (not literal) translations of commong phrases English: The pot calling the kettle black | ||
Another one for the list: English: It's a small world | 1 | |
Curiously, in Mexican Spanish we would say "el comal le dijo a la olla" (closer to the pot and kettle) | 2 | |
There is a Ghanaian proverb similar to the pot calling the kettle black: The warthog doesn't laugh at his mother's teeth (Do ba laara o ma niene) | 3 | |
