oŋ janıŋı berme

/oŋ dʒanɯŋɯ berme/

Literal translation

do not give your right side

Do not let another take the favoured position beside you; give a stranger no advantage over yourself.

Ol alda kelgen atlını köremise? Ol mıçımay seni jeter, oŋ janıŋı sen berme: ol, jetgenley, şuyohuŋ kibik, süyünür, oŋ janıŋı berseŋ, urub, jerge kiyirir.Do you see that horseman coming up ahead? He will overtake you before long — don't you give him your right side: the moment he catches up he will be delighted, as if he were your friend, but if you give him your right side he will strike you and drive you into the ground.
