Some sayings may have slightly different wording or variations, but the general meaning remains similar. For instance, "As strong as a horse" might be expressed as "Сильный, как лошадь" in Russian. Similarly, sayings like "As clever as a monkey" and "As slow as a snail" could have equivalents in Russian, but they may not be as commonly used as the ones listed above.
