Bëj vrimë në ujë Explanation: This may not be an absolutely exact equivalent, but I can't think of anything closer. The English phrase means to do something unnecessary (because Newcastle has a lot of coal in the ground), while the Albanian phrase means to do something pointless - not quite the same thing, but pretty close I'd say! By the way Anila, if you can think of something better, please let me know at [email protected] because I'd be most interested! |
