  • «Qıznı miŋ tiler da, bir alır», – dep bizde söz bardı. Alay a İraçıq kelgen pismolanı jaŋız birine da juwap qaytarmaydı. Kimin oqub, kimin a açıb da qaramağanlay, dukkul jurun etib atadı.We have a saying: "A thousand will ask for a girl, but one will take her." Yet Irachyq does not send a reply to a single one of the letters that come. Reading some, not even opening others to look at them, they tear them to shreds and throw them away.
