ముడ్డిలో పుండుకు మేనమామ వైద్యం

This proverb is used to indicate that there is no need to explain or describe something to someone who is already intimately familiar with it. Just as a maternal uncle knows everything about his own sister's home (his childhood home), an expert or an insider does not need a briefing on their own domain.

This proverb refers to a situation involving a personal or embarrassing problem that is kept hidden from the public, and is being handled by a close relative or a confidant in a secretive or potentially unqualified manner. It is used to describe matters that are kept 'within the family' to avoid social stigma, often implying that the solution might be makeshift or that the secrecy adds to the complexity of the issue.

This expression is used to describe a situation where one is stating the obvious or providing information that the listener already knows. It highlights a redundant question or an redundant explanation of a self-evident fact, as a mother's birthplace is naturally the house of the maternal uncle.

This proverb describes an extremely embarrassing or awkward situation where a problem is sensitive/private, but the person available to help is someone with whom one must maintain dignity and distance (like a son-in-law in Indian culture). It is used to refer to dilemmas where seeking help causes more shame than the problem itself.

This proverb is used when someone tries to explain or describe something to a person who already knows it inside out. It highlights the irony of telling someone about their own roots, expertise, or a situation they are intimately familiar with.

This expression highlights the significance and priority given to the maternal uncle (mother's brother) in a child's life and within the family hierarchy. After the mother, the maternal uncle is traditionally considered the most important guardian and support system in many Telugu households, especially regarding cultural rituals and protection.

This proverb emphasizes the supreme importance of food and survival. It suggests that food is as vital as the heart to a body, and every single grain of rice is as precious as a close protector or relative (like a maternal uncle). It is used to teach gratitude for food and to discourage wasting even a single grain.

This expression describes a situation where someone tells a person something they already know very well, or tries to 'enlighten' someone on a topic they are an expert in. Since the uncle grew up in that very house, praising it to him is redundant and unnecessary.

This proverb describes a situation of extreme embarrassment and awkwardness where one is forced to discuss or show a private, shameful problem to a relative with whom such intimacy is culturally inappropriate or taboo. It is used to highlight situations involving great hesitation and the inability to seek help due to the delicate nature of the relationship.

This proverb refers to a redundant or unnecessary action. Since the maternal uncle (mother's brother) grew up in that same house, he knows its merits better than anyone else. It is used when someone tries to explain or brag about something to a person who is already an expert or possesses intimate knowledge of the subject.
