అడవిలో కాసిన వెన్నెల, ముదిమిలో చేసిన పెండ్లి

This proverb is used to describe a person who says something incredibly foolish, offensive, or inappropriate when asked to speak or act properly. It highlights the irony of someone ruining a positive situation by being tactless or utterly lacking common sense.

This expression is used to describe a situation where something valuable, beautiful, or talented is wasted because there is no one around to appreciate it or benefit from it. Just as moonlight in a deserted forest serves no purpose, an effort or talent that goes unrecognized or unused is compared to 'Adavi Kachina Vennela'.

This expression is used to describe something that is wasted or of no use to anyone. Just as rain on uncultivable land cannot grow crops and moonlight in a dense, uninhabited forest provides no benefit to people, an action or resource is considered 'Beedu kurisina vana' or 'Adavini kachina vennela' when it is spent on something that cannot yield results or be appreciated.

This proverb highlights what constitutes the essence or peak beauty of something. Just as moonlight makes a night pleasant and beautiful, the appearance of healthy ears of grain (spikelets) signifies the success and value of a crop. It is used to describe things that are essential for fulfillment or completeness.

This proverb highlights things that come too late to be fully beneficial or reliable. A crop sown late in the season often fails to yield well due to weather changes, and a son born when parents are very old may not be able to support them in their prime or may be left orphaned early. It is used to describe situations that are ill-timed or occur past the ideal stage of life.

This expression refers to something valuable, beautiful, or useful that goes to waste because there is no one around to appreciate or benefit from it. It is used to describe efforts or talents that are unrewarded or spent in vain.

Wasted on a spot where it is not appreciated.

This proverb suggests that certain outcomes are natural and acceptable. Losing in a fair dispute or passing away after a full life (old age) are considered inevitable or righteous conclusions that one should not regret or mourn excessively.

This proverb suggests that prosperity or happiness (moonlight) usually visits those who have already experienced hard work or success (sunlight). It implies that opportunities and good fortune favor those who are already in a position of strength or have put in the effort.

This expression is used to describe an impossible or extremely difficult task involving bringing together people or things that have a tendency to scatter or remain individualistic. Just as tiny, round mustard seeds roll away and cannot be easily formed into a solid ball, it refers to the difficulty of achieving unity or consensus among a group of disjointed entities.

This proverb is used to describe someone who lacks common sense or humility, and instead of taking a compliment or a suggestion gracefully, they respond with an absurd, arrogant, or inappropriate remark. It mocks a person who, despite being in an awkward or late-stage situation (like an old man getting married), acts with unearned overconfidence or makes foolish claims that embarrass themselves.
