Alay, teli sözün eki aytır dep, men kesimi ol naçalnikle bolub aylanŋan jaşladan amanŋa sanamayma![Soltan:] Still, at the risk of saying it twice, I do not count myself any worse than those young men who go about as bosses!
Jumuş bolub kele kelgenme. Teli sözün eki aytır dep, ayıp etmegiz, alğınŋıla bolsala, bıllay jumuş bla sizni allığızğa kelmez edile, – dedi Aydaruq."I have come on business. Forgive me for saying it twice over, but the people of old would not have come before you with an errand like this," said Aydaruq.
