Plum has nothing to do with it, it's just that this word is consonant with the name of the city of Siruela in the Spanish province of Badajoz, Extremadur, where this proverb came from. Its origin is associated with a certain school teacher from this city who did not have a school to teach.

[A-B-V]

In one of the last courses, a Spanish teacher gave us a large list (la lista) of proverbs and sayings (refranes y sabiduría popular).

I remember that I was completely amazed then that we could not find equivalents to these proverbs in Russian. But we could not do this, not because our memory is short, and we do not remember any Russian proverbs, but simply because they do not exist. That is, we, the Russians and the Spaniards, pay attention to different situations.

I also wanted to add that in general it is quite difficult to understand foreign proverbs or sayings right away (having read it once), because they represent the quintessence of folk wisdom. These phrases have been in circulation for more than a decade, therefore, over time, they gradually got rid of all unnecessary "details" and the form that we have now is sometimes so short that you don't even know which side to approach it from.

Donde las dan, las toman

By las we mean estas cosas, i.e. literally where they give, they take away there.

And in Russian - as it comes around, it will respond. Or a more modern version - whatever hello, this is the answer.

I analyzed this proverb in detail just yesterday. But in Spanish there is still a third part: y callar es bueno, which is used to make the saying more emotional, and it is pronounced either by the one who suffered, or by a third person who knows about what happened.

Quien a buen árbol se arrima, buena sombra le cobija

letters. whoever leans against a good tree is protected by a good shade

The point is that if you communicate with the “right” people (smart, influential, etc.), then the future awaits you enviable, that is, firstly, you will become like them (take good qualities from them) , and secondly, if you have a good relationship, they will be able to help you in a difficult situation (if you did not have such acquaintances, you would have to extricate yourself)

si quieres tener un trabajo mejor dentro de una oficina, vas a estar bien con tu jefe - porque te va a dar seguridad laboral y posibilidad de crecimiento.

A río revuelto, ganancia de pescadores

When the water in the river "boils", it is very good for the fishermen, because in this case, much more fish gets into the nets.

Also in life, when there are changes (cambios) around, disagreements (desavenencias) and the like occur between partners, there will always be people who can take advantage of such a situation.

Estos días ha llovido en muchos lugares de la península ibérica y en algunos sitios (en comarcas leonesas, sevillanas, malagueñas, etc.) ha caído una fuerte granizada que ha causado desde daños materiales (miles de coches convertidos en chatarra, in gara , etc.), cosechas perdidas y animales muertos, hasta muchos heridos y contusionados e incluso, lo peor de todo, muertes humanas.

Como suele suceder, siempre hay vivales que se aprovechan de ese tipo se situaciones para entrar a robar en las tiendas, comercios, casas, coches, que han resultado dañados. Este lamentable hecho puede ser expresado con la frase: A río revuelto ganancia de pescadores.

Tanto va el cántaro a la fuente, que al final se rompe

got into the habit of walking a jug on the water, and then lay down his head (I know this proverb in Russian only because we have analyzed it more than once at the university; I myself never say that. Do you?)

In Russian, you can also say “to be on the rampage” (it turns out three times shorter;). The point is, it's not surprising that you end up getting in trouble if you constantly take risks (at work, for example).

Also, the Spanish sources indicate the following meaning: there is no need to test the patience of other people, because someday it will end.

All these proverbs are "popular" and are used by modern Spaniards.

Quien mucho abarca, poco aprieta- letters. the one who covers a lot, has little time, in Russian - you will chase two hares, you will not catch a single one.
