aşasa da – börü, aşamasa da – börü

/aʃasa da – børy, aʃamasa da – børy/

Literal translation

if it has eaten — a wolf; if it has not eaten — a wolf

Once someone has a bad name, every misdeed is laid at his door whether or not he did any harm.

«Aşasa da – börü, aşamasa da – börü» degenley, biçenni urlanŋanın biyağı Alisağa atadıla da qoydula.As the saying goes, "whether it ate or not, it's the wolf" — they pinned the theft of the hay on Alisa once again.
