Dichos in green from

www.pe.com/2018/01/06/mexican-dichos-are-wise-old-sayings-with-moral-lessons-for-all/

“Cada maestrillo tiene su librillo.”

“Each person has his own way of doing things.”

“Nadie se va de este mundo vivo.”

“No one leaves this world alive.”

“Las palabras vuelan; los escritos quedan.”

“Words fly, writings endure.”

“No des tu brazo a torcer.”

“Don’t give up.”

DICHOS

Talking Points: Dichos are common sayings. They are typically short sayings which have an underlying meaning and are used to impart wisdom or guidance. As you can see above, sometimes dichos can be straightforward, like those in the green boxes. But sometimes, like those in the blue boxes, they hide a deeper meaning.

“Hay mas tiempo que vida” CSU 4-H Specialist, Ruben Flores describes this as one of his favorites used by his mom. He says, “It reminds us that time goes on so we should slow down and enjoy life.”

(Hand out Appendix H - Dichos) Choose one of the dichos in the handout to add to your weaving. Or you could choose a common saying from your own family. Sayings like “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush” and “Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth” are just a couple. Think about how these sayings might come across in a translation. Do you think they could be easily interpreted, or would it take more context to understand?

When you’re done, don’t forget to revisit the journal entry.
