qonaq süymegen qonaqbayça

/qonaq syjmeɡen qonaqbajtʃa/

Literal translation

like a host who does not like guests

Said of someone who meets a person without a friendly, cheerful face — receiving them coldly and grudgingly.

Qonaq süymegen qonaqbayça, eşik allında soruw ala turma da, üyge kireyik.Don't stand questioning me at the door like a host who doesn't want guests — let's go inside.
