janmı qaldırlıqdı

/dʒanmɯ qaldɯrlɯqdɯ/

Literal translation

is it going to save a life?

Said dismissively of something another person prizes too highly — it is not so valuable or indispensable as to be worth withholding or fussing over.

Janmı qaldırlıqdı bu? Ber da qoy çananı, – dedi jaş."Is this thing going to save a life? Just hand over the sledge," said the boy.
