Translation
Engleski

Translated by netcevap
Target language: Engleski

If working a lot were a virtue, at least a donkey would understand that it was a donkey.
Remarks about the translation
"It is a donkey " means that a donkey works a lot, so it means the donkey is a donkey, even the donkey doesn't know how much it works.

I think IS is better here, unless we want to turn the whole thing into subjunctive:

If working a lot were a virtue, at least a donkey could understand that it was a donkey.
