The protagonist of this week is certainly Serie A : Cagliari fans know it well, with the return of the rossoblùs to the top division. And for this reason the weekly appointment with idioms is dedicated to idioms in the Sardinian language with the letter A :
- «A cardaxu mannu, linna meda» (For the large cauldron, lots of wood). A way of saying that refers to the fact that a lot of fire is needed to cook many dishes. A metaphor to also indicate that large projects need a lot of money to be implemented.
- «Acciùngiri linna a su fogu» (Add wood to the fire). A saying that is used to indicate those people who, instead of reconciling two friends who are arguing in an animated way, throw wood on the fire, discord and further incite the protagonists of the heated dispute.
- «Andai sémpiri fraga fraga» (Always go to smell). A saying that refers to people who gossip and are constantly looking for gossip.
- «Ancu t'arruint is barras» (May your jaw drop). More than a saying, this is a "frastimu" (curse in the Sardinian language) that can be used when someone raises their voice too much.
- «Arrìu chi cùrrit no pudèscit mai» (Flowing river does not become putrid). A way of saying that refers to those people who are clear and transparent in everything they do. An honest man is always transparent, he is always clear and limpid in everything he does.
