List of Telugu samethalu (proverbs) with brief descriptions

How to contribute

Add new samethalu

Add new samethalu in samethalu-data.json file and create a PR. Each new sametha must be in the following format:

"sametha": <sametha in Telugu script>,
"translation": <Literal translation of the sametha in English>,
"meaning": <Meaning of the sametha in the context of its usage>,
"essence": <Description of situation(s) in which the sametha is commonly used>,
"origin": <How the sametha came into existence>,
"sources": [<Source(s) of the sametha>],
"situations": [
    {
        "situation": <Example situation1>
    },
    {
        "situation": <Example situation2>
    }
]

Note that all the fields apart from sametha and meaning are optional. But the more details you provide, the better it is for the search engine. Sharing diverse example situations is also a good way to show the versatility of the sametha.

Edit existing samethalu

Most of the descriptions that are currently added are generated by AI. I have been proofreading them manually and collaborating with others, but there are too many to do it alone. If you find any mistakes or improvements, please edit the samethalu-data.json file and create a PR. If that is too much work, you can just create an issue to describe the mistake and suggest the edit. I will review and fix them.
