ఊరులేక పొలిమేర ఉండునా?

This expression describes a situation where someone is indirectly forced or pressured to leave or quit because the other person is too polite or hesitant to ask them directly. It is commonly used when someone creates an uncomfortable environment to drive another person away.

This expression is used to indicate that one cannot find goodness, peace, or noble people in a place filled with evil or chaos. It suggests that a person's environment dictates what one can expect to find there, or that a divine/pure soul would not be found in a sinful or wretched situation.

This expression is used to describe a person who has lost their high status, power, or wealth but remains resourceful (often in a shameless or opportunistic way) to survive.

This expression is used to illustrate that resources, secrets, or wealth cannot be preserved or accumulated if the container (or person) is fundamentally flawed or lacks integrity. Just as water leaks from a pot with holes, efforts spent on a person with bad habits or a system with deep flaws will always go to waste.

It is used to express that certain roles or situations require a counterpart to be meaningful or lively.

This proverb describes the foolishness of entering into a confrontation or conflict based on the support of someone who is weak, timid, or unreliable.

This proverb is used to describe a superstition or a practical observation that when exactly three people travel together on a single vehicle or venture, it often encounters obstacles or fails to progress smoothly. It is frequently used to caution against groups of three starting a task or to explain why a particular joint effort is stalling.
