"There's no hearth like your own hearth" is the literal shape of this Irish proverb — home defined specifically as the fire at its centre, not just the building around it.

What it means

Níl aon tinteán mar do thinteán féin is the best-known proverb in the Irish language. Word for word it is "there is no hearth like your own hearth"; it is used exactly where English says "there's no place like home". The word tinteán means a hearth or fireplace, not a house — the proverb defines home as the fire at the centre of it rather than the building around it. Thinteán is lenited after the possessive do (your), which is why the same word appears twice in two spellings. It is a genuine seanfhocal, said warmly on coming home from a journey, and it is the standard Irish housewarming gift. This print is an open edition, made to order and shipped worldwide.

Seanfhocail — old words that survived because they were short enough to carry. One size, one grid, so they read as a row.
