అయ్యకు రెండో పెండ్లి అని సంతోషమేకాని, అమ్మకు సవితిపోరు అని యెరగడు.

This proverb highlights the duality of loss and gain. It describes a zero-sum situation where one person's misfortune directly results in another person's benefit or happiness. It is often used to remark on the irony of life where the same event causes grief to one and celebration to another.

Ill-luck is good for something. ( French. )* * A quelque chose malheur est bon.

This proverb describes a situation where one person's joy or celebration causes direct misery or hardship to another. It is used to highlight conflicting interests or cases where an action is selfishly celebrated without considering the pain it inflicts on those closest.

This expression describes a bittersweet or conflicting situation where one aspect brings joy but another aspect brings significant trouble or pain. It is used when a benefit to one person causes hardship for another close to them, creating a dilemma where one cannot fully celebrate.

This expression refers to an object or a situation that is of such low value or triviality that its loss doesn't affect the owner, and its discovery doesn't benefit the finder. It is used to describe things that are practically useless or insignificant to everyone involved.

This proverb highlights the nature of human basic instincts. It means that when a person is consumed by greed or deep desire, they lose their sense of shame or self-respect to achieve it. Similarly, when a person is truly exhausted and needs sleep, they do not care about the quality of the bed or the comfort of the surroundings; they can sleep anywhere.

When sleep overpowers, comfort is not thought of.

This proverb suggests that one doesn't need a specific reason to be happy; it is a state of mind. Conversely, it highlights that the human mind is prone to endless worrying or overthinking, implying that while joy is spontaneous, anxiety can be a never-ending cycle if not controlled.

This expression emphasizes that material luxury and external beauty cannot replace freedom and basic happiness. It is used to describe situations where a person might have all the physical comforts or a high-status environment, yet feels trapped or miserable because they lack liberty or emotional fulfillment.

This proverb highlights how basic human instincts and intense emotions override physical circumstances or social norms. When one is starving, the quality of food doesn't matter; when one is exhausted, the comfort of the bed is irrelevant; and when one is in love, they disregard social embarrassment or shyness.

Hunger is the best sauce.

This proverb comments on the social and practical aspects of remarriage. It suggests that while the first marriage is a fundamental part of life and duty, a second marriage often stems from a lack of judgment or poor decision-making, and pursuing a third marriage is seen as a sign of complete loss of sense or desperation. It is used to caution people against repeatedly seeking marriage after failures.

This is to suggest that one should be joyful, especially in unfavourable circumstances. That is the way to draw strength from even adverse circumstances.
