గొడ్డుపోతు ఏమి ఎరుగురా బిడ్డ చవి

This proverb describes a situation where someone has already suffered the worst possible outcome or is deeply involved in a problem, so additional minor troubles no longer bother them. It is used when a person is past the point of worrying about consequences or further risks because they have already lost everything or are fully committed to a difficult path.

When a person is very hungry anything tastes good; when very sleepy, one does not require the usual comfort one looks for.

This expression is used to describe a futile effort or a situation where one expects a result from someone or something that is incapable of providing it. Just as a barren cow cannot produce milk, performing an action that is fundamentally impossible or seeking help from a person who has nothing to give is a waste of time.

This proverb is used to describe a situation where someone who hasn't personally experienced a specific hardship or responsibility cannot truly understand the pain or effort involved. It is often cited when someone offers unsolicited advice or criticism about a struggle they have never faced.

This expression is used to describe a situation where someone is asked to perform a task that is fundamentally beyond their capability or inherent nature. It highlights that expecting results from someone who lacks the necessary resources, skills, or capacity is futile.

This proverb is used to describe someone who lacks the refinement or knowledge to appreciate the value or quality of something superior. It is similar to the English expression 'casting pearls before swine.' It suggests that offering something sophisticated to an ignorant person is a waste, as they cannot perceive its true worth.

This expression is used to describe a person who lacks self-awareness or basic competence, making them incapable of understanding or helping others.

This proverb is used to describe the instinctual bond between a mother and her child. It implies that even if a mother cannot see her child's suffering or needs with her eyes, she can feel them intuitively in her gut or heart. It is often used to emphasize maternal intuition and the deep, invisible connection of parenthood.

This proverb suggests that subordinates or those who handle the personal chores of others are often the first to know the hidden secrets, scandals, or weaknesses of a community or an organization. Just as a washerman sees the stains on everyone's clothes, an assistant or peon observes the internal politics and flaws of a workplace.

This proverb is used to describe an inexperienced or young person who is unaware of the potential dangers, consequences, or hardships of a situation. It suggests that one only understands the gravity of a threat after experiencing it personally, much like a young bird doesn't fear a hunter's weapon until it is hit.
