    Das ist ein Sprichwort, das beschreibt, dass wenn jemand denkt, woanders geht es besser. z.B. Ein unzufriedener Mitarbeiter, der mit Kündigung droht, falls nicht...

    @ dude: Das trifft es nicht. Es ist eher was im Sinne von "glad to see you gone".

    I agree with dude and noli

    @Fragende: "dass wenn jemand denkt, woanders geht es besser"
    Speaking directly to the person one could say: "you seem to think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence"

    a bit more friendly

    And I still treasure an LP from the 'New Christy Minstrels', featuring (amongst other songs) the title:

    'Green green, as green they say, on the far side of the hill. -
    Green green, I'm going away, to where the grass is greener still.' . . .

    SuggestionClose the door on your way out.
