పకపక నవ్వేవాడు, గబగబ అరచేవాడు కపటమెరుగడు.

This proverb is used to describe a situation where someone constantly complains about the same problems or repeats the same mistakes. Over time, people lose sympathy for them and stop caring or helping. It signifies that constant whining or frequent crises lead to emotional fatigue in others.

This expression means that when a person is truly exhausted, they do not care about the luxury or comfort of the bed; and when a person is extremely hungry, they do not care about the taste or quality of the food. It is used to describe how basic biological needs override preferences for luxury or quality in extreme situations.

This proverb highlights how basic human instincts and intense emotions override physical circumstances or social norms. When a person is extremely hungry, they do not care about the quality or taste of the food; when someone is exhausted, they can sleep anywhere regardless of the comfort level; and when someone is deeply in love, they disregard social embarrassment or shame to pursue their feelings.

This proverb warns that people who express their anger loudly and instantly (gabagaba arachevadu) are generally transparent and harmless once their outburst is over. However, one should be extremely wary of 'nelamuchodu'—those who remain silent, keep their head down, and secretly harbor grudges or plot against others. It is safer to deal with an open critic than a silent enemy.

This expression describes people who are transparent with their emotions. It implies that those who express their joy loudly (laughing) or their anger immediately (shouting) are usually open-hearted and do not harbor secret grudges or manipulative intentions.

This proverb contrasts the behavior of an openly angry or short-tempered person with that of a sly, manipulative person. It suggests that while a hot-tempered person may be loud or harsh, their feelings are transparent and predictable. In contrast, a deceitful person (Nalimuchu) hides their true intentions and can cause much more harm from within. It is used to advise that honesty, even if blunt, is better than hidden malice.

This expression is used to describe a situation where someone experiences a humiliating failure or mistake specifically in front of people who were already waiting for a chance to ridicule them. It highlights the double blow of the mishap itself and the public embarrassment that follows.

This proverb highlights two harsh realities: first, that intense desire or greed often blinds a person to moral or ethical wrongs (doing anything to achieve a goal); second, that a person running a business (like an innkeeper or caterer) is driven by profit and cannot afford to give away food for free or act out of pure merit/charity.

This expression is used to describe a person who is nursing a deep-seated grievance or a long-term grudge. It suggests that such an individual will inevitably seek revenge when the opportunity arises, just as a vengeful cobra is believed to never forget an enemy until it strikes back.

This expression suggests that intense desire or lust does not care for timing, circumstances, or appropriateness. It is used to describe a state where a person's impulses override their judgment of when and where it is suitable to act.
