Summary/Abstract: Apart from a common core, i.e. universals, which sums up the life experience and the wisdom of several communities, proverbs also circulate prejudices and specific stereotypes characterizing one particular ethnic group. The transfer of their embedded meaning into the target lingua culture is rather difficult, not only because of the linguistic constraints of the target language, but also because of different representations in comparison to the source language.
