Tha proverb aig an Japanese. '7 times down, 8 times up' ann an Beurla.
A bheil fios agaibh ciamar a channas mi '7 times down, 8 times up' anns a' Ghaidhlig? Chan eil fhios a'm 'times' anns a' Ghaidhlig :L.

times = tursan no turais.
Chan eil mi a' tuigsinn an seannfhacal co-dhiù.

Is this this the equivalent of "two steps forward, one step back"?

More likely to be "one step back, two steps forward", saoildh mi!

Chan eil mi ga thuigsinn. Dhomhsa, is mì-choltach gu bheil an gnàth-fhacal seo ceanglaichte ri "ceum air adhart, dithis air ais" mo 's a chaochladh. Ach chan eil mi nam eòlaiche air cultar Iapan co-dhiù...

Is dòcha gu bheil e a' ciallachadh gum buannaich thu aig deireadh an latha ma chumas tu ort, fiù 's ged nach soirbhich dad leat airson ùine fada.

Dh'fhaighnich mi dhan charaid à Siapan sa mhadainn an-diugh. Thuirt e gu bheil an seannfhacal a' ciallachadh "the spirit of resilience". Ma tha trioblaid agam, bu choir dhomh daonnan eirigh suas.

The proverb sort of means 'always get up, more times than you go down'. Because if it were to be '8 times down, 8 times up' then u ain't really getting up again coz the numbers are equal, same for 9 times down 8 times up lol.

Cha robh fhios agam gum b' e Seapanach a bh' ann an Raibeart Bruis leis an damhan-allaidh aige...
