oŋ janına salırğa
/oŋ dʒanɯna salɯrʁa/
Literal translation
to place on the right side
Intended meaning
To treat someone as a person of worth — to honour, value and show respect to them.
- Jalçını ne sıyı bolluq edi? Jumuş eterge jaraşasa ansı, saŋa jumuşmu eterikdile. Oŋ janına salıb, sıylap aylanmazlığı sılhırğa da belgilidi.What honour could a hired hand have? You are fit to run errands, not to have errands run for you. Even the dullest knows he will not be treated with esteem and honour.
