This is a popular Telugu folk saying used when the sun shines while it is raining simultaneously. It is often told to children as a whimsical explanation for this rare weather phenomenon, suggesting that such magical or unusual weather signifies a celebration in the animal kingdom.

Presumptuous interference. Impertinent meddling. * Lass den Gast ziehen eh das Gewitter ausbricht.

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 proverb emphasizes the importance of a functional kitchen and household activity for prosperity. If a family is so lazy or destitute that they don't even cook (firewood not burning), they will never attract or retain wealth (gold). It is used to suggest that hard work and maintaining a home are precursors to financial success.

This proverb refers to the Indian astrological lunar mansions (Nakshatras). It suggests that the Makha Nakshatra period is known for heavy rainfall, while the Chitta Nakshatra period is associated with the breeding season or increased activity of dogs. It is used to describe the characteristic traits or expected behaviors of specific seasonal periods.
