This proverb is used to mock people who blindly imitate others who are far more capable or wealthy, without considering their own status or limitations. It highlights the absurdity of trying to match someone else's lifestyle or actions when one doesn't have the same means.

This proverb highlights how people tend to take liberties with those who lack social or financial standing.

This proverb suggests that when a person with no power or resources gets angry, it only hurts them further rather than affecting others.

This proverb describes a situation where someone who is helpless, soft-natured, or lacks social standing is taken advantage of by everyone. Just as a 'Vadina' (sister-in-law) in a traditional sense can be joked with or assigned tasks, it implies that when a person cannot defend their boundaries, the whole community feels entitled to exploit them or treat them with overly familiar authority.

This refers to the bad luck of an unfortunate person. When one is in misery, additional troubles come upon one and make one’s life more miserable.

This proverb describes a situation where a person is weak, foolish, or lacks the authority to protect their own interests or family. Because the husband is a fool, the neighbors or community members do not respect his boundaries and treat his wife with over-familiarity or lack of respect, taking undue liberties. It is used to highlight how a lack of personal strength or character leads to others taking advantage of one's household.

This proverb suggests that when a person with no power or resources gets angry, it only ends up hurting them further rather than affecting the person they are angry at. In practical terms, it means that the weak cannot afford to express anger against the strong as it only brings self-destruction or unnecessary trouble to themselves.
