Japanese Proverb 2

Here is today's proverb:

猿も木から落ちる

Here it is just in hiragana:

さるもきからおちる

And in romaji:

saru mo ki kara ochiru

Literally, "Even monkeys fall from trees."

The idea is that someone can be a complete expert, as monkeys are experts in climbing out in trees, but even an expert can make a mistake, as monkeys can fall from trees.

My vocabulary for today:


さる
"monkey"



"tree"



"fall" (verb)
