never heard this one in french, but it may exist

anarvorig · 11-13-2007, 09:54 AM

je pense que cela correspond en Français à:

Tel est pris qui croyait prendre !

natasha666 · 11-13-2007, 11:34 AM

I will write in my languages:
(from ex Yugoslavia):

Slovenian: Kdor drugemu jamo koplje, sam vanjo pade!

Croatian: Tko drugom jamu kopa, sam u nju pada!

Sorry, I don't have dictionnary with myself to write in English, if they use that at all.

In Dutch:

"Wie een put graaft voor een ander, valt er zelf in."

wörtlich: "Wer eine Grube gräbt für einen Anderen, fällt selbst hinein!"

Hello endlezz,

Although I don't know Dutch I can understand, because your language is something between German and English.
About German I alway control over Google, did I write right.

That, what you wrote there is correct.

How to translate it in English?
