    1 Rumput tetangga selalu lebih hijau

    2 Not the sharpest tool in the shed Otak di dengkul

    3 When it rains, it pours Sudah jatuh tertimpa tangga

    4 Every why has its wherefore Ada asap ada api

    You give him an inch and he will


    5 Dikasih hati, minta jantung
    take a yard

    6 Still waters run deep Air tenang menghanyutkan

    7 To bite the hand that feeds you Seperti kacang lupa kulitnya

    Berakit-rakit ke hulu, berenang-renang


    ke tepian.
    8 No pain, no gain
    Bersakit-sakit dahulu, bersenang-senang
    kemudian.

    tiada berguna

    11
    the bush daripada sepuluh burung di pohon

    Sekali mendayung, dua tiga pulau


    12 Killing two birds with one stone
    terlampaui

    13 Better than a stick in the eye Tak ada rotan akar pun jadi

    14 Di mana ada kemauan, di situ ada jalan

    15 Like two peas in a pod Bagai pinang dibelah dua
