Hi everybody,
I can't write in Italian, sorry, but I need to know how you say in Italian "you can't get away with it all the time".

I know there's a very nice proverb but I don't remember it.

Thank you very much.

Ciao from Austria
Hans G.

No problem, Hans.
You can write in French, Spanish and German in our forum.

The Italian proverb for the English sentence you wrote is

"Tanto va la gatta al lardo che ci lascia lo zampino"

Ok?

Saluti da Sorrento!!!!

Well that's a mouthful isn't it!  I am curious Hans,  if you don't speak italian why would you need a proverb like this one, even more curioser is how are you going to use this mouthful in a sentence?

Ciao da Maria (NY)

io penso che questo "you" è impersonale e quindi si deve tradurre con una voce impersonale, tipo:

"non ce la si può cavare ogni volta che si vorrebbe" oppure "non ce la si cava sempre" o "non te la puoi scampare sempre".
