betlik tüyüldü

/betlik tyjyldy/

Literal translation

is not honourable

Of an act: improper for someone, beneath their dignity, and shameful to do.

«Kelinibizni süyüwçü sılhır askerden qaythandı, barıb bir salamlaşayıq, jaŋız kesin alayda qoyğan bizge betlik tüyüldü», – derik adam tabılmaz."The sullen fellow who loves our daughter-in-law has come back from the army; let us go and greet him — leaving him there all alone is unbecoming of us," — no one will be found to say that.
