Delete“Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth”
ReplyDeleteThis proverb means that you should be greatful for what you receive from someone, without trying to criticize it.
The idiom refers to a horse and its mouth because if a specialist looks at a horse’s teeth, he can find out the horse’s age. The same happens in other situations, where someone gives us something. If we analyse it, we could find something that isn’t alright or maybe we would just want something better than the thing we get. Although, we should be thankful and accept that thing. This way, we show that we’re nice people and that we appreciate everything, even if they’re little things.

ReplyDelete“Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.”
It is a ancient saying that was used for the first time in The Roman Empire and in latin sounds like this:”Noli equi dentes inspicere donati”. The meaning of it is that when you receive a gift you don’t act picky, you don’t try to find problems, but you are thankful because of it.
