sözü joqdu

/søzy dʒoqdu/

Literal translation

one's word is not there

Intended meaning

Said of someone whose word carries no weight — a liar and an idle talker who cannot be relied on.
  • Birinçiden, men saŋa Laraŋ tüyülme. Ekinçiden a, seni sözüŋ joqdu. Janşaqsa, tuzu-mıstısı bolmağanlanı janşaysa. İçgen etese, teŋ jürüte bilmeyse, – dedi Larisa Şamilge."First of all, I am not your Larang. And second, your word counts for nothing. You are a chatterbox, you babble about things with neither salt nor savour. You drink, and you do not know how to treat a friend," Larisa said to Shamil.
