etegine qısarğa

/eteɡine qɯsarʁa/

Literal translation

to press (someone) to one's hem

To look after a needy relative and give them material support.

«K»-nı nasıpsız etgenle atası bla öge anasıdıla. Ala aŋa ariw aytsala, üyretsele, eteklerine qıssala, balalarıça körsele, ol bu çekge jeterik tüyül edi.The ones who made "K." unhappy are the father and the stepmother. Had they spoken kindly to the child, taught the child, kept the child close, seen the child as their own, it would never have come to this.
Solmanbiy, entda da seni etegiŋe qısılsaq, inş Allah, açdan ölmebiz.Solmanbiy, if we cling to your hem once again, God willing, we will not die of hunger.
