PROVERBALIA. Enrich your vocabulary in Valencian, Spanish, and English and learn something more about proverbs, sayings, idioms, or expressions and their origin.
In this section, called “Proverbalia”, we will explore idiomatic expressions in Valencian, Spanish and English. We will learn what they mean, where they come from and how they can be expressed in other languages.
As spring approaches, and we begin to notice longer days, blooming flowers and nature coming back to life, it is a perfect time to discover some popular expressions related to this season. Folk wisdom has left its mark on language, and spring offers us sayings and idioms that speak about renewal, joy and new beginnings.
🌼 Spring expressions with explanations
As winter arrives, bringing cold mornings, shorter days and, sometimes, snow-covered landscapes, it becomes the perfect moment to explore traditional proverbs and idioms linked to this season. Popular wisdom, shaped by centuries of experience, has left us expressions that speak of cold weather, hardship, resilience and the rhythm of nature. Winter sayings remind us how people have learned to face the cold, value warmth and patience, and understand the passing of time through language.
Spring is in the air → Ja es nota l’arribada de la primavera.

Fresh as a daisy → Fresc/a i ple d’energia.
April showers bring May flowers → Després de dificultats, arriben coses bones.

A spring in one’s step → Caminar amb energia i alegria.
🌷 A Light exists in Spring
A Light exists in Spring
Not present on the Year
At any other period —
When March is scarcely here
A Color stands abroad
On Solitary Fields
That Science cannot overtake
But Human Nature feels.
It waits upon the Lawn,
It shows the furthest Tree
Upon the furthest Slope you know
It almost speaks to you.
Then as Horizons step
Or Noons report away,
Without the Formula of sound
It passes and we stay —
A quality of loss
Affecting our Content
As Trade had suddenly encroached
Upon a Sacrament.
Emily Dickinson
