dar nome aos bois


Explanation:
Appeler un chat un chat = appeler les choses par leur nom. En portugais l'expression qui s'en rapproche le plus est "dar nome aos bois".

Je viens de voir un autre, d'après Wikipedia, que je ne connaissais pas: Dire les choses comme elles sont, franchement. Dans ce cas là, l'expression en portugais est "não ter papas na língua".
