అదే ఊరైతే, కోళ్ళు కూయవా?

This expression is used to challenge someone who claims a common natural phenomenon or a standard rule only happens in a specific place or under specific circumstances. It implies that certain truths or behaviors are universal and do not change just because the location or person changes. It is often used to mock someone's illogical excuses or pretentiousness.

This expression is used to describe a person who is habitually slow or unorganized. Despite starting their day early (at the first crow of the rooster), they take so much time to get ready or perform tasks that the sun is already high and hot by the time they are actually out (hot enough to burn their feet). It highlights inefficiency regardless of a head start.

This proverb highlights that character and efficiency matter more than just the timing of an action. A capable person can achieve their goals even if they start late, while an incompetent or lazy person will remain unproductive regardless of how early they begin.

This proverb is used to mock someone who is acting as if they are experiencing something for the first time, despite it being a common or recurring task.

Just as different pots are made from the same clay, all humans have the same origin despite their social divisions or physical differences. It is used to point out underlying unity or to challenge superficial discrimination.

This proverb is used to describe people who are deeply committed to a rivalry or a conflict. Even when they suffer losses or injuries during the struggle, their stubbornness or animosity keeps them from backing down. It is often used to characterize persistent quarreling or long-standing feuds between individuals who refuse to reconcile despite the negative consequences.

This proverb emphasizes the central role of a woman in managing a household and its prosperity. It means that if a wife is disciplined, hardworking, and manages the home well, the family's assets and livelihood (symbolized by the 'farm') will also be stable and successful.
