1. More power to someone: Best wishes to someone (ಯಾರಿಗಾದರು ಒಳ್ಳೆಯ ಹಾರೈಕೆಗಳನ್ನು ನೀಡಲು)
E. g. He's decided to climb Mount Everest - well, more power to him.
2. Absolute power corrupts absolutely: One who has total authority is very likely to abuse his position. (ಅಧಿಕಾರ ಎಲ್ಲರನ್ನು ಭ್ರಷ್ಟರನ್ನಾಗಿಸುತ್ತದೆ. )
E. g. We thought that Johnson would be a responsible mayor, but within a year of taking office, he was as bad as all the rest. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
3. Power play: a strategy using one's power or authority to carry out a plan or to get one's way. (ಓರ್ವರ ಅಧಿಕಾರವನ್ನು/ ಶ್ರಮವನ್ನು ಚಾಲಾಕಿತನದಿಂದ ಬಳಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವುದು. )
E. g. In a blatant power play, the manager claimed he had initiated the sales campaign.
4. Knowledge is power: The more you know, the more you can control. (ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನ ಜ್ಞಾನವೇ ನಮ್ಮ ಶಕ್ತಿ)
E. g.
Child: How come I have to study history? I don't care what all those dead people did hundreds of years ago. Mother: Knowledge is power. If you know something about the past, it may help you to anticipate the future.
5. More power to you!: Well done!; You really stood up for yourself!; You really did something for your own benefit! (ಇದು ನಿನ್ನಗೆ ಇನ್ನಷ್ಟು ಶಕ್ತಿ ತುಂಬಿಸಲಿದೆ)
E. g.
Sue: I spent years getting ready for that job, and I finally got it. Mary: More power to you!
6. Put someone into power and put someone in: to elect or appoint someone to office or a position of power. (ಯಾರನ್ನಾದರೂ ಅಧಿಕಾರಕ್ಕೆ ಚುನಾಯಿಸುವುದು ಅಥವಾ ನೇಮಿಸುವುದು. )
E. g. The board decided to put an unknown from another company into the presidency. They put in a complete unknown.
7. The corridors of power: the highest level of government where the most important decisions are made (ಮುಖ್ಯ ನಿರ್ಣಯಗಳನ್ನು ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳಲು ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಅಧಿಕಾರಗಳನ್ನು ಹೊಂದಿರುವ ಸರ್ಕಾರ)
E. g. His laziness became a legend in the corridors of power.
