Is this really a proverb?

Swift Swift April 15, 2022 April 15, 2022 at 12:33:05 PM UTC link Permalink

The converse, „No smoke without fire“, is. Probably a mistaken tag. I'll nudge CK.

I find many of the translations, those that amount to "No smoke without fire", misleading.

Swift Swift April 15, 2022 April 15, 2022 at 7:01:07 PM UTC link Permalink

What do you mean by “misleading”? If they're not good translations they should be unlinked. If the sentences are unnatural, they should probably be deleted. If, however, they just don't make perfect sense (one can, in fact, have fire without smoke), then leave it be.

Do you think translations saying "There is no smoke without fire" should be linked to this sentence?

Swift Swift April 16, 2022 April 16, 2022 at 11:36:03 AM UTC link Permalink

No. The sentences „A without B“ and „B whithout A“ have different meanings.
