ఒకే కోకిల వసంతాన్ని కొనిరాదు.

This proverb is used to emphasize that an object's or person's inherent nature cannot be changed just because of outward similarities or pretension. Just as an onion's smell prevents it from being a jasmine, and a crow's appearance doesn't make it a melodic cuckoo, intrinsic traits define true character.

This expression is used to describe a person who stands out due to their unique talent, beauty, or virtue in a group of ordinary or inferior people. It highlights excellence amidst mediocrity.

Quality is far superior to quantity. This expression is used to emphasize that the words of one wise or talented person are more valuable than the meaningless noise of a hundred fools or mediocre people.

This expression is used to advise someone against trying to trick or outsmart the very person who taught them everything. It emphasizes that one should not use their cleverness or pranks on their elders or mentors, particularly their own mother, who knows them best.

This expression is used to describe a person who is living or growing up in an environment where they do not truly belong, or among people who are not their own. It often implies a situation where someone's true identity or superior talents are hidden or misplaced within a common or mismatched setting, just as a cuckoo bird lays its eggs in a crow's nest to be raised by the crow.

This expression is used to describe a natural or harmonious sequence of events where everything happens as it should at the right time. It signifies the onset of a beautiful season or a positive change, often used metaphorically to indicate that good times or expected outcomes have finally manifested.

This expression highlights the universal human attraction towards physical beauty (desire) and material wealth (gold/money). It is often used to suggest that it is human nature to be tempted by these two elements, though it can also be used as a cautionary remark regarding the primary sources of human attachment or downfall.

This proverb is used to describe how external appearances or sounds can be deceptive regarding a person's true nature or courage. While the crow has a harsh voice and plain appearance, it is bold and resilient; conversely, the cuckoo, despite its sweet and melodious song, is timid and even lays its eggs in other birds' nests because it lacks the courage to raise its own young.

This expression suggests that inevitable progress, positive change, or the course of destiny cannot be halted by petty critics or insignificant obstacles. Just as crows cawing cannot prevent the arrival of spring, small-minded people cannot stop a great event from happening.

This expression refers to someone who stands out as superior, talented, or graceful while surrounded by ordinary or inferior people. It is used to describe a person of quality in an environment where others lack that same refinement or skill.
