ALMANCA → TR
Tanım
•Said when someone mentions themselves first in an enumeration of people (like “I and you”, “I and my friend”), which is considered unmannered in the German-speaking (and some other) countries
Etimoloji
Literally, “the donkey always mentions himself first”. Probably an alteration of the variant der Esel geht immer voran (“the donkey always comes first”), from the idea that the donkey walks in front of the carriage but is of lesser value than the people on it.
