Proverbs in Mandinka

Audio14 min Brikama, West CoastMandinka

Forty sayings, with the situations that call for them.

A proverb without its situation is a decoration. Each of the forty is recorded with the circumstance in which it would actually be used.

Several are corrective, and would be said to someone rather than about them.

Translations are human-checked and deliberately literal, with a note where the literal fails.
