kesini burunundan arı körmegen

/kesini burunundan arɯ kørmeɡen/

Literal translation

who does not see beyond their own nose

Having no grasp of how things really stand and very little judgement; unable to think past one's own immediate concerns.

Kesini burunundan arı körmegen da saŋa üyretirge küreşse, açıw tiedi. Adam, quru kesini burunun körüb qoymay, andan arlaqdağın da körürge kerekdi.It stings when someone who sees no farther than their own nose sets about teaching you. A person should not stop at looking at their own nose, but should see what lies beyond it too.
