నూరు అప్పడాలకి ఒకటే దెబ్బ

This proverb is used to describe a situation where someone gives an irrelevant or trivial personal excuse when a serious, collective, or structural issue is being discussed. It highlights the behavior of people who miss the point of a larger conversation by focusing on their own unrelated petty grievances.

This proverb is used to describe a person who is completely useless or ineffective. It implies that their presence provides no benefit, and their absence makes no difference, much like a decorative figure or a person with no initiative.

This proverb is often used to emphasize the importance and merit of conducting a marriage. It suggests that since marriage is a sacred and life-uniting event, minor compromises or exaggerations (white lies) used to bring two families together or overcome trivial hurdles are socially acceptable for the greater good of the union.

This proverb describes human ingratitude. It refers to people who seek help desperately when in trouble, but once they are safe or their purpose is served, they criticize or insult the very person who helped them.

This expression refers to a state of complacency or lack of urgency regarding a resource that is already secured or 'at hand'. It is used to describe a situation where one feels there is no difference between a resource being in its source (like milk in an udder) or collected (like milk in a pot), implying that since it belongs to them, they can access it whenever they want, often leading to laziness or delayed action.

This proverb is used to say that no matter how many sins or crimes one commits without getting caught, one day a single incident or divine intervention will bring about their downfall. It implies that justice eventually catches up with the wicked, and a single blow is sufficient to end a long streak of evil deeds.

This proverb describes an extremely greedy or corrupt person. If someone is bold enough to commit a massive crime or theft (like stealing a whole temple), they won't hesitate to take small things (like the doors) as if they were minor snacks. It is used to describe people who have no moral boundaries once they have committed a major transgression.

This proverb is used to describe someone who has already committed a massive crime or handled a huge task, making smaller obstacles or rules seem trivial to them. It implies that if a person can handle something extreme, they won't hesitate or struggle with something much smaller.

This proverb is used to describe an immediate and inevitable consequence. Just as the support (kuduru) becomes useless or is discarded the moment the clay pot (kunda) breaks, this expression refers to situations where two things are so closely linked that the end of one automatically results in the end or downfall of the other.

This proverb is used to question whether someone prefers to face troubles or tasks incrementally or all together in one go. It is often used in the context of discipline or consequences, asking if a person wants to be corrected for every small mistake or face one large punishment for everything combined.
