ölüb da oy deymemi

/ølyb da oj dejmemi/

Literal translation

would I say 'oy' even while dying?

Said as a rhetorical question to explain that one stays silent about something rather than speak up and bring trouble on oneself.

Urlağanın oquna körsem da, ölüb da ow deymemi kesime jetmegen zatha?Even if I saw him stealing, would I ever speak up about something that is none of my concern?
