Is é seo Seanfhocal an Lae:
Today's Proverb is:
Tógfaidh dath dubh ach ní thógfaidh dubh dath.
Seo ciall an tseanfhocail:
The translation or meaning is:
A coloured cloth will take a black dye but a black cloth will not
take a coloured dye.
(Easier to blacken a reputation than to restore it.)
An bhfuil a mhalairt de thuairim agat maidir le ciall an tseanfhocail seo, nó ar mhaith leat an t-aistriúchán s’agatsa a roinnt linn? Déan caint ar seo thíos.
