Sayings

[jadore-vin.livejournal.com]

Is there an equivalent Russian saying to the English one "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach"?
Or if any other common sayings come to mind (especially pertaining to love/relationships), could you please share them here, with literal/figurative translation.

Yes. The direct equivalent is "Путь к сердцу мужчины лежит через его желудок".

Dear fellow Russians,

I would love to remind that there are many people in this community who still cannot understand your jolly chatter, though they definitely would like to.

This is why the working language of this community is English, and if you comment in Russian, you are expected to translate your comment to English as well.

I didn't know that the working language of this community is English, so i'm sorry for the usage of Russian :-)

So you never bother yourself with such boring stuff like the rules of the community you join (http://community.livejournal.com/learn_russian/profile/), don't you? ;-))))

But anyway and anyhow, thanks for the correction

I always used to think that it _was_ a Russian proverb :)

Other common sayings...
Милые бранятся - только тешатся /When two sweethearts have quarrel they only have fun/
Бабы каются, а девки замуж собираются /~ Women, they feel sorry, but girls, they want to marry/
С милым рай и в шалаше /With the dear one, a hovel turns into a paradise/ - probably there is an English equivalent to that, but I do not know it yet
/a bit rude but very common one.../ Любовь зла, полюбишь и козла /Love is evil, you might fall in love with a billy-goat/

С милым рай и в шалаше
Love inna cottage
