tawruhlarğa
/tawruxlarʁa/
tell a story, narrate, recount — Takes a direct object: the thing told. One dictionary also gives "make up tales, spin yarns", but this is too thinly attested to be a sense of its own.
- qart eski haparlanı tawruhlaydı — the old man narrates the old tales
- eşitgenimça, tawruhlayım men senŋe — let me tell it to you as I heard it
- men aŋa bolğannı tawruhladım — I recounted to him what had happened
