Aika kulkee kulkuaan; aikaa ei voi pysäyttää Explanation: The word-for-word translation would be "Aika ja vuorovesi eivät odota ketään" but the two phrases above are more commonly used. I believe the phrase first appeared in Chaucer`s Canterbury Tales which was translated into Finnish by Toivo Lyy. Reference: http://www.xrefer.com |
