意味
A person cannot appreciate what they don't understand.
文化的背景
In Pakistan, this proverb is often used in political talk shows to mock opponents who don't understand complex economic or social policies. The proverb is shared between Urdu and Hindi. In rural areas, it is used very literally for people who don't appreciate the medicinal value of herbs. Poets use this to defend their 'Mushaira' (poetry recital) performances against critics who prefer simple, catchy songs over deep metaphors. On Pakistani/Indian Twitter, this is a common 'meme' response to someone who posts a 'bad take' about a popular TV show or movie.
Don't use with elders
Even if they have 'bad taste', using this with parents or grandparents is considered extremely disrespectful.
Use for 'Acquired Tastes'
This phrase is most effective when talking about things like black coffee, bitter chocolate, or abstract art.

The 'Kya' is Rhetorical
The 'kya' here doesn't mean 'what' as a question, but 'how could he possibly' as a statement.
