thrift


- noun
- aforro

EN When the Galician is charged with avarice, it is well to remember that his thrift is directed to the charmingly bucolic ideal of becoming owner of a plot of land in his beloved country, for which in exile he feels such constant soidade (mother of the Portuguese saudade), and that he is scrupulously honest and trustworthy, and very seldom overcharges or runs into debt.
GL Cando a un galego o aguilloa a avaricia, é bo lembrar que o seu aforro se dirixe cara ó ideal de se converter en propietario dunha leira no seu amado país, do que no exilio sente soidade (a nai da saudade portuguesa), que é escrupulosamente honesto e digno de confianza e que só en contadas ocasións paga de máis ou vai á creba.
