Portuguese[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Literally, “the mountain [gives] birth to a rat”.
Verb[edit]
- (idiomatic) [for someone to] make a mountain out of a molehill
Conjugation[edit]
Because the subject is part of this idiom, it only inflects in the third person singular.
The preterite (a montanha pariu um rato) is by far the most common form.
