aş berme da, qaş ber

/aʃ berme da, qaʃ ber/

Literal translation

do not give food, but give an eyebrow

Meet a guest with a cheerful, welcoming face; a warm reception matters more than what you can set on the table.

Bizde qonaqğa aş berme da, qaş ber deydile. Sen a aş da, qaş da bergense.Among us they say: do not give the guest food, but give him a warm look. And you gave both food and a warm look.
