In german we say “Zuerst das Wasser dann die Säure, sonst geschieht das ungeheuere”
In rough translation “First the water, then the acid, otherwise, the unhoneyed things happens”

In Finnish we have “ensin vesi, sitten happo. Muuten tulee sormeen rakko”
Translation: “first water, then acid. Otherwise you get a blister on finger”
