డబ్బు సభ కట్టును, ముద్ద నోరు కట్టును.

This proverb is used to describe a person who cannot keep secrets or stop talking ill of others. It implies that a habitual gossip or a person with a loose tongue will always find a way to blabber, regardless of any attempts to restrain or silence them.

This proverb highlights that while it might be possible to achieve an impossible physical feat like capturing the wind, it is absolutely impossible to stop a quarrelsome or loud-mouthed person from arguing.

This proverb describes a person who is eager and greedy for small, immediate benefits (represented by a handful of boiled snacks/guggillu) but remains silent or fails to act when there is an opportunity for a much larger gain (represented by the entire harvest at the threshing floor/kallam). It is used to mock someone who lacks a sense of proportion or fails to recognize where the real profit lies.

This proverb is used to describe the difficulty of dealing with a quarrelsome or loud-mouthed person (specifically a 'gayyali'). It suggests that controlling the wind—an impossible task—is still easier than stopping such a person from arguing or being verbally abusive.

This proverb highlights that certain bad habits are hard to break. Just as someone who has eaten something messy (charcoal) cannot hide the evidence or stop the discomfort, a person habitual to gossiping or bad-mouthing others cannot restrain themselves from doing it again.

It is equivalent to the English proverb 'The apple doesn't fall far from the tree'.

This proverb emphasizes the importance of keeping one's financial status and personal habits private. Just as money is kept secure in a bag and food is concealed while chewing, one's wealth and personal affairs should not be displayed or discussed openly to avoid unnecessary trouble or envy.

Like father, like son; or the quality of a product depends on its source. It is used to suggest that the nature or character of a person or thing is determined by its origin or upbringing.

This proverb highlights the importance of presentation and appropriateness based on the context. Just as a pot needs its mouth covered for safety or cleanliness, a bag (representing one's knowledge or goods) should be well-prepared and 'tied up' properly before being presented in a public assembly or formal gathering to ensure respect and success.

This proverb highlights a social irony where wealth continues to flow toward the wealthy. It describes a situation where both the rich and the poor tend to favor, gift, or serve those who are already influential and affluent, while those in actual need are often ignored.
