kesi gırjınına kül tarthan

/kesi ɡɯrdʒɯnɯna kyl tartxan/

Literal translation

one who rakes the ashes toward his own flatbread

Someone who cares nothing for others and shamelessly wants every good thing to come to himself alone.

Aytmaz bolsa ua, ese da atası uruşdan buğub turğanına jarsımağan ne uyalmağan jaş bolsa, – allaylağa kesi gırjınına kül tarthan deydile, ala jamawatnı tüp urgusu boladıla, nasıpsızla, gırjından toyabız dep quwanŋanla!And if he says nothing, if he is a young man who feels no grief and no shame that his father hid from the war – of such people they say he rakes the ashes toward his own flatbread; they become the ruin of the community, wretches who rejoice that they have their fill of bread!
