qara tıŋılawnu basarğa

/qara tɯŋɯlawnu basarʁa/

Literal translation

to press down black silence

To say nothing at all; to hold one's tongue completely, refusing to answer or speak up.

«Terslikni körüb bolmayma!» – dediŋ sen. Kesiŋi «dığılıŋa» qatılğanda, Bosağaŋda oltan ız qoymay ötse, Basasa qara tıŋılawnu anda."I cannot stand injustice!" — so you said. But when your own patch is meddled with, when someone crosses your threshold leaving not so much as a bootprint, then you keep dead silent.
Jamıçı kiygenleni birleri, Sarbiyni sözün eşitmegença etib, qara tıŋılawnu berdi.One of the men in felt cloaks, acting as if he had not heard Sarbiy's words, kept dead silent.
