Greek-Arabic Proverb Encounters

!مرحبا – Καλώς ορίσατε! – Welcome!

You’ve arrived at a crossroads of cultures, where every proverb is a bridge between Arabic and Greek hearts. Here, centuries of folk wisdom meet in one interactive space: little gems of laughter, caution, hope, and hospitality, spoken in two languages but understood by all. Whether you’re exploring “سو الخير وقطه بحر” or “Κάμε το καλό και ρίξ’ το στο γιαλό,” both of which mean "do a good deed and throw it into the sea," you’ll discover that kindness, patience, and courage know no borders. Dive into themes, share your own favorite sayings, and join our community of learners and storytellers. Together, let’s celebrate the universal power of a few words to connect us across the Mediterranean and beyond! 😄
