jabağılı jarı tay

/dʒabaʁɯlɯ dʒarɯ taj/

Literal translation

colt with matted, mangy coat

A mangy, unkempt young horse that nevertheless proves fast and spirited — in folklore, the unpromising colt that turns out to be a fine steed.

Kiçi jaş bir tozurağan jabağılı jarı taynı tutdu.The youngest son caught a worn-out, matted, mangy colt.
Kiçi jaşnı jabağılı jarı tayı qarap-qarağınçı bir hamokur tayçıqdan jilyansırt atha aylanıp qaladı.In no time at all the youngest son's matted, mangy colt turned from a scrawny little foal into a slender-backed steed.
