Literal translation
the ox died, we parted from the partnership
Intended meaning
Said when the person or circumstance that bound two families or partners together is gone, so the kinship or close relationship between them has come to an end.
- Ögüz öldü, ortaqdan ayırıldıq dep qoymay, ol öksüz sabiyleni unutub qoymağız, – dep üyretedi appa."Don't just say 'the ox died, we parted from the partnership' and forget those orphaned children," grandfather teaches.
