Man kan ikke få både i pose og sekk

To take a swim and not get wet

to want one's horse to run fast without letting it graze

The wolf ate and the goat remained whole

to have the butter and the money from (selling) the butter

to dance at two weddings at the same time

(Have) the pie whole and the dog fed

To have a laddu (a sweet candy) in both of your hands

to want her pregnant while she’s breastfeeding

To eat the cookie and have the cookie

Wanting the sun to shine on the threshing floor, while it rains on the turnip field

Wishing to be both at mass and in the procession

swim and have clothes

To eat the cookie and still have it

to keep a loaf and eat it
