Aha li vî apî jî pîr, silav li... Here is this uncle too, greetings to...
Bixêr hatî, ser çava be, ser sera be. Welcome, upon my eyes, upon my head.
Navî te bixêr? What is your name?
Fewzî ye. It is Fawzi.
Xalê Fewzî Bavê... Uncle Fawzi, Father of...
Bavê Evdo. Father of Avdo.
Bavê Evdo, Xwedê siheta te xweş te de. Father of Avdo, may God give you good health.
Sax be. Be healthy (Thank you).
Xwedê emrê dirêj te de, em pir kêfxweş bûn îro te mîsteqbel kirin li gundî, ba'dî nama ez hûru mîvandarê gundê Maratê me. May God give you a long life, we were very happy today that you welcomed us to the village, after all, today I am a guest of the village of Maratê.
Ser kanî, ser çava, meriv hêja ne. Upon the spring, upon the eyes, you are worthy people.
Xwedê ji te razî be. Wede çiye? Îş te çiye? Te roja xwe çawa derbas dikî? May God be pleased with you. What is the situation? What is your work? How do you spend your day?
Elhemdulîllah ji Xwedê re. Welle de dima, ort e. Le'nî emrê me ra di, dibê la qol kî heftê salî ye. Yanî mintehî wekî Ereb dibê. Praise be to God. Well, it remains average. Because our age has gone, it must be around seventy years old. Meaning finished, as the Arab says.
Ê em jî ort e, me wekî teqaûd, qçik gîhiştin. And we are also average, we are like retired, the kids have grown up.
Naha em pir dibîsin mesela dibê emrê xwe bi şêst, bi heftê, lê belê em hindik em rûyê nan em gilenin. Meselan hela şêst sal ne hindik e, heftê sal ne hindik e. Now we hear a lot, for example, saying one's age is sixty, seventy, but we complain a little about the face of bread (livelihood). For example, sixty years is not a little, seventy years is not a little.
Hêro Bavê Evdo em bên di şêst salî da çiqo cefo te dît, çiqo tehayî tî tşetîn te dît? Today, Father of Avdo, let's say in sixty years, how much suffering did you see, how much difficulty did you see?
Ji sî û jor da, teben, merivkî cihet ke, înî ta qçikê xwe bi 'eyişînê û ta... From thirty and up, naturally, a person struggles, meaning until you raise your kids and until...
Silav, destpêkê meriv ne dibê, meriv çiçik e. Greetings, at first one doesn't know, one is small.
Seh. True.
Heta meriv çîşkê bi liyan dibê, meriv dewatê dike. Until one becomes a bit bigger, one gets married.
Piştî te dewat kir, dil qçika diheyre. Her yekî da rê hewş fereh dibê. Yes.
Piştî te dewat kir, dil qçika diheyre. Her yekî da rê hewş fereh dibê. After you married, the heart worries about the kids. Each one goes a way, the courtyard becomes wide (empty).
Fereh dibê. Û sifrê jî mezin dibê Bavê Evdo. It becomes wide. And the table also becomes big, Father of Avdo.
Sifre ew, bira ew, ne wekî ewe. That table, that brother, it's not like that anymore.
Û piştî te ew qçik no mezin kirin, dibê tu sibe qçika bizewicînî, tu meselan qçika tu mezin bikî te yê bi hesê. And after you brought and raised those kids, you have to marry the kids off tomorrow, you for example, if you raise kids, you will feel it.
Eleş meriv xeber de bi hes heye li tenê? Elhemdilla. Why would one speak, is there feeling in it alone? Praise God.
Elhemdilla. Erê welle. Ye'nî fi'len her wextekî dewrê xwe heye. Ye'nî dewrê me ra çû, ji para dewrê qçik. Praise God. Yes, by God. Meaning really every time has its own era. Meaning our era has gone, after it is the kids' era.
Îhya dike û cihed dike hewa... Fîdêl meriv dike, fîdê rebbî alemin, bêrî giya. Reviving and struggling like that... One sacrifices, a sacrifice to the Lord of the Worlds, before all.
E wekî din, emr bi vatûnî darê derbas nabe. Otherwise, life doesn't pass in idleness.
Derbas nabe. Erê. It doesn't pass. Yes.
Bavê Evdo xêrekê meriv qçikê dmerin meriv mezin dike. Me dgo yarim me ana kir me ana kir, ne înana kin pê nahasin. Bes wextê meriv dibê bavik, meriv pê dihase. Father of Avdo, it's a good deed when one raises kids, one makes them big. We used to say, "Oh friend, we did this, we did that," not that they would do it, they don't feel it. But when one becomes a father, one feels it.
Meriv te'bî bavkî xwe zanê wextê meriv dibê wele yarim ta'ba ber te va dît. One knows the fatigue of one's father when one says, "By God, friend, I saw the fatigue before you."
Û nefsel weqit wê ta'bî bikun tejwîq qçikê ra dî, nes wê qçiko ji lawê xwe re dibîne. And at the same time, that fatigue becomes an encouragement for the kid, he sees that kid for his own child (future generation).
Berê em çiçik bûn pir bi me re digotin yarim bi te nebîne me hîn mezin kirin, yarim ana bî. Bes me îna ne dikir. Yanî em pê ne dihesiyan. Before, when we were small, they told us a lot, "Friend, don't look at yourself, we raised you like this, friend, be like this." But we didn't do it. Meaning we didn't feel it.
Bes wextê hûro gavê em zewicîn... But today, when we got married...
Meriv dikevê wê mewqifê, li meriv êl dike. Seh. Welle weye. One falls into that situation, it becomes clear to one. True. By God, it is so.
Bavê Evdo Xwedê siheta te xweş te de, em pir kêfxweş bûn. Father of Avdo, may God give you good health, we were very happy.
Li ser sera. Li ser serê me. Upon the head (You're welcome). Upon our head.
Em kê niha çîşkê tiskê ke ser gundê Maratê ji me re xeber de. Hûro em mîvandarê gundê Maratê ne. We will now talk a bit about the village of Maratê, tell us about it. Today we are guests of the village of Maratê.
Ehlen we sehlen welle. Welcome, by God.
Destpêkê navî Maratê ji ku hat? Vê navê li kîl xêr li vê gundî kirin? Navî Maratê me'nîya wî çi ye? First, where did the name Maratê come from? Who bestowed this name on this village? What is the meaning of the name Maratê?
Maratê eslen du şiket he bûn, noko holî hene, ne şiketê mezin in. Digo şiket... Du deri yo. Maratê, originally there were two caves, they are still there now, they are not big caves. They called them caves... It has two entrances.
Wan naskîn. Show them.
Erê. Yanî du derî, du qob he. Û hîna ye. Vayê Maratê, gş ku vayê ne bû Maratê, ewê eniza. Yes. Meaning two entrances, two domes. And it is still there. The word "Maratê", everyone [says] if the word wasn't "Maratê", that is what I know.
Emû li vê gundî şiket he bûn? So there were caves in this village?
E. Yes.
Neho emrê gundê Maratê dûrî çiqo ye Bavê Evdo ji me re xeber de. Wextê tu gihîştiyê şta ra xeber dane, ew wek tu zanê. Dûrî çiqo sal emrê vê gundî? Now, how old is the village of Maratê, Father of Avdo, tell us. When you reached [adulthood] they told you, or as you know. How many years is the age of this village?
Ya sîdî, enizam, pita kalê min... Pita kalê min, enizam û hîn zêde. Digo heft gunda û çar mal bûn. Oh sir, I don't know, before my grandfather... Before my grandfather, I don't know and even more. They said there were seven units [tents/ruins] and four houses.
Heft di şiketa de bûn, heft di xaniya de bûn. Yanî berê, meselan gava şiketê kî ke hebi, ke enî vê lo girtî. Vê lok e. Seven were in the caves, seven were in the houses. Meaning before, for example, when there was a cave, who closed this side. This side.
Jiyolîkî da vedikrinê, jiyolîkî diketinê û... dîsa yanî xwa vadanon enî cî me heye. They opened it from one side, entered from one side and... again meaning they settled themselves, see we have a place.
Erê. Yes.
Ê de ew dewra çû noko, her kî darê dinya rind dibê, teta wir dibê. Şinik tiyê dibin... Ji kî ortax, ji şiketa kirin hewş, kirin vella. Well, that era has gone now, whoever comes, the world becomes good, it develops. Buildings are made... From the middle, they turned caves into courtyards, into villas.
Eywa. Yes.
Destpêkê deh û çar mal di gundê Maratê da bûn. At first, there were fourteen houses in the village of Maratê.
A. Yes.
Niha em bifitin ser niha Bavê Evdo. Niha gundê Maratê dûrî çiqo mal e li vderê? Now let's look at now, Father of Avdo. Now how many houses is the village of Maratê around here?
Teqrîben şeş, di ser şeş sedî û jor da. Approximately six, over six hundred and above.
Dûrî... ser şeş sedî û jor da. Û naha holî yanî em wextê derbasî gundê Maratê bûn li ber rênkê, pir hewş acer têne girtin. Around... over six hundred and above. And now still, meaning when we entered the village of Maratê along the road, many new courtyards (houses) are being built.
Ewa jî tîşkî pir rind e, em pir kêfxweş dibin gava em dibînin Kurmancî me gi diftilen ser axa xwe, hewşa digirin. Eger ldarva jî meselan, heta natên vderê jî, dîsa hewşa digirin. That is also a very good thing, we are very happy when we see all our Kurds returning to their land, building houses. Even if outside, for example, even if they don't come here, they still build houses.
Wextê em dibînin Kurmanc hewşa digirê, emelek ji me re çêdibê. When we see a Kurd building a house, a hope is created for us.
Ya sîdî, evê hewşa berê... Berê sê çar law xwa hebûn, dizewicandin. Bavê wî gît hewşekî da, gît xonîkî da. Tehmîl dikirin. Oh sir, these houses before... Before, one had three or four sons, they married them off. Their father put them all in one courtyard, all in one house. They tolerated it.
Bes idî noko, Allahume seli ela Nebî, jinkat noko... Mîr bûne tirêla bi pê ketine. Gava jino çi qerar danî, mêr imze dike. But now, peace be upon the Prophet, the women now... The Amirs (husbands) have become like trailers following behind. Whatever decision the woman makes, the man signs it.
Lê emr ra, hewa, erê. Ne wekî berê ye. Ce'be bûn, û dinya tetawir bû û pêşta çû noko. But life goes, like that, yes. It's not like before. It was difficult, and the world developed and moved forward now.
Ema heybet berê Bavê Evdo, ne wek em cem bav û kala rûdinin, em cem dayika rûdinin, em wextê guh didine çîrokê berê. Hezkirna berê pir bû mabeyna mêr û jina da. But the respect of the past, Father of Avdo, not like when we sit with fathers and grandfathers, sit with mothers, when we listen to the stories of the past. The love of the past was great between husband and wife.
Niha jî hewa jî tîşke, heye hezkirin, bes niha çîçkê îhtîram nema ye. Îhtîmam nema ye. Now it's also a thing, there is love, but now a bit of respect is gone. Interest is gone.
Niha meselan, berê ta qîzik bibira, ti razî nerazî, bavkî te emr kire, ti nedigo na. Now for example, before if you took a girl, whether you agreed or not, if your father ordered, you didn't say no.
Re'yê qîza nedibirin. They didn't take the girls' opinion.
Nedibirin. They didn't take it.
Ne dibirin. Erê. Me'z heye di vî gundî me da, avo pir kevn e. Heft yanî diçûn qîzik dixwastin, hevd ne di dît. Xeberî xwe jî jê tunebûn. They didn't take it. Yes. There are many in this village of ours, that is very old. Seven, meaning they went and asked for a girl, they didn't see each other. They didn't even have news of each other.
Ji? Eywa. Vija î derbke, digo me yarim istara ya xwastiye. Ne re'yê lewik dibirin, û ne yê qîskê dibirin. From? Yes. Then bring her, they said, "Friend, we asked for her for you." They didn't take the boy's opinion, nor the girl's opinion.
Heta şevê zewiciyê, jê pirskir navî te çi ye. Bi bûkê ra. Until the wedding night, he asked her, "What is your name?" To the bride.
Erê. Yes.
Bûkê jê pirskir. Yanî exa û tiştkî zemonê berê noko nemaye. The bride asked him. Meaning that much, and things of the past time don't exist now.
Nemaye. Dêk bavka emr kira şûr nedibî dudo. Don't exist. If the parents ordered, the word didn't become two (wasn't questioned).
Şûrê dêk bavka bûn, ne yê qîza bûn. It was the parents' word, not the girls'.
Ê noko buye yê qîza, ne yê dêk bavka ye. But now it has become the girls', not the parents'.
Niha, berî niha em tîçkê wera niha Bavê Evdo... Niha bikun pênc da berî dewatê hevdû dîtine û bi hevre je kirine. Now, before now, let's say something, Father of Avdo... Now maybe five times before the wedding they have seen each other and talked together.
Oooo la erê erê. Wek şevê qelenk dibê em kên qelen bibra hazir bke. Berê mobîna xwe da birrîne. Oooo, oh yes yes. Like the night of the dowry, they say, "Let's go cut the dowry, get it ready." Before, they have already settled it between themselves.
Loxa î baqil dibê çi, dibê xa we berê birriye bes em bên fatiha. Hetta bikun qelengî xwe jî berê ew kirine. But the wise one says what, he says, "Okay, you settled it before, but let's recite the Fatiha." Even maybe they have already done their dowry before.
Pîşî xelkê jag dên ew dikin. Before the people come there, they do it.
Bavê Evdo naha em ser gundê Maratê, wek em zanin û wek em dibînin me dixwand gundî Maratê kanîyê xwe hebûn. Father of Avdo, now we are on the village of Maratê, as we know and as we see, we read that the village of Maratê had its springs.
Û kanîyê xwe yanî tkê bibê gundî Maratê bi kanîya hat naskirin. Pir tiştî xweş bûn. Niha ew kanîya çima em nabînin naha? And its springs, meaning one could say the village of Maratê was known by its springs. They were very nice things. Now why don't we see those springs now?
Hew kanîya noko, yekî gundî me hebu rehmetî kal bû, Mistê Heydo dgo. Xwedê rehma xwe lê ke, meryekî... Those springs now, there was one of our villagers, a late old man, they called him Mistê Heydo. May God have mercy on him, a person...
Digo egî hûn bixwazin ez kanîkî derxim... He said, "If you want me to bring out a spring..."
Em gişt bi hev re bûn, hef kaniya hişk bû, av pê de hat. We were all together, that dry spring, water came into it.
Erê. Yes.
Ê manot tu karî vê neqlê derxî ew... That means you can take this story out...
Erê. Niha dorê bavê Abdo çend sal in ev kanî hişk e? Yes. Now, Bave Abdo, how many years has this spring been dry?
Welle, yî dehat, berî bîst û sî salan deherikî yanî. Well, it used to flow, meaning it was flowing twenty or thirty years ago.
Erê. Yes.
Heta parîkî me hebû, me jê av dida derdiket yanî, av dimeşiya, ne têra gundî, hema rûpkî baxçan. Until we had a share, we irrigated from it and it came out, the water flowed, not enough for the village, but just a bit for the gardens.
Lê em gişt şirîk bûn tê da. Hef kaniya deherikî, da erq, yek li vî alî ji, yek li vî alî ji. But we were all partners in it. That spring flowed, it gave a sweat [trickle], one on this side, one on that side.
Begcî da di nîn ber. Dora te hatî, ê xeberê bidê de, bê were xeyê baxçê xwe av de. The distributor put it in front. When your turn came, give the news, come water your garden.
Berî te xelas ke xeber bide yê dîn, ew jî dihat baxçê xwe dida, dida heta dora digihişt sêrê ser nivo dîsa dihatinî. Before you finish, tell the other person, he would also come and water his garden, watering until the turn reached the beginning again and they came back.
Li vî alî çî, li vî alî çî. Whether on this side, or on that side.
Niha em vê kanîyê nabînin hişk bûye. Niha du sê sal in di ser me ra derbas bûn bavê Abdo baran nabare. Kêm dibare. Now we don't see this spring, it has dried up. Now two or three years have passed over us, Bave Abdo, rain doesn't fall. It falls little.
Vê baranê jî pir tesîr li kanîyê kir? Did this rain also affect the spring a lot?
Lê tebhet. Ê we we, ji berê da dibê "el xêr erdminda", erê. Yes, naturally. Yes yes, from before they say "the bounty of the earth is from the sky" [Arabic saying]. Yes.
Jiberê da dibê "el xêr ard min sema". We. From before they say "the bounty of the earth is from the sky". Yes.
Niha bavê Abdo em biftilin berî vê sîh pênc salan, çil salî, pêncî salî, wek emrê te giştî ye. Mekteb li vê gundî hebûn? Now Bave Abdo, let's turn back thirty-five, forty, fifty years, like your whole age. Were there schools in this village?
Na dê eslê... hîn berî min, cîlê berî min, digo berxûc e. Qur'an bû. No actually... even before me, the generation before me, they called it "berxûc". It was Quran.
Erê. Yes.
Berxûc e. Ji berxûca orta mekteb lê bû û ew kirin. It is Berxûc. From the Berxûc, the school came into being and they made it.
Niha, niha jî mekteba em di gundî Moratê da dibînin. Now, even now we see the school in the village of Moratê.
Tîşkê ser ecyalê gundî Moratê ji me ra xeber de bavê Abdo. Speak to us a bit about the generations of Moratê village, Bave Abdo.
Di berê, çiqas gundî Moratê çiqas xwendavanê xwe hene? Wek te zanî, mesela dixtorê xwe hene, camî'a xwe hene? In the past, how many students did Moratê village have? Like you know, for example, did it have its doctors, its university graduates?
Ê tebhet niha ji berê pirr, pirr pirtir in. Yes naturally now is much, much more than before.
Erê. Yes.
Berê, yanî xwendavan hindik bûn yanî, pirr hindik bûn. Before, meaning students were few, very few.
Gi karkerî bavkal û bavkalê xwarê dikirin, derdikirin. Paşê ketin wezîfa, orta karê bavka îxtîraf nekirin. They all did the labor of forefathers and forefathers down, they made a living. Then they got into jobs, they didn't acknowledge the work of the forefathers.
Ama silafê tîşkê destê xelkê jî teng be xwendin kêm bî. Niha xwendin, miletê şêniyê gundî Moratê, xortê gundî, keçikê gundî niha dixwînin. Ser xwendina xwe diskinin. But previously maybe the people's hand was tight [poor] so education was less. Now education, the people of Moratê village, the youth, the girls, they study. They insist on their education.
Erê, erê. Yes, yes.
Bê te sebra min nayê, bê te xewa min nayê... Without you I have no patience, without you I have no sleep...
D'gazînim dilorînim, dengê min dernayê... I call out and lament, my voice does not come out...
Dengê min dernayê... My voice does not come out...
Dengê min dernayê. My voice does not come out.
D'gazînim dilorînim, dengê min dernayê... I call out and lament, my voice does not come out...
Dengê min dernayê... My voice does not come out...
Dengê min dernayê. My voice does not come out.
Bavê Abdo, camîek niha li vê gundî da heye. Bave Abdo, there is a mosque in this village now.
Vê camîyê, dorê çiqas sal hatî kirtin? Çend sal in hatî kirtin? This mosque, around how many years ago was it built? How many years since it was built?
Ê bavkê min... ya sîdî rehma miriya be, rehmetiyê hewla dida, gul... ji gundî me ne girtin e. Eh my father... sir, mercy on the dead, the deceased strove... it was not built by our village.
Vêra digotin Şêxûs pîjîkî mekin, me'elim bû. They called him Sheikhus, our little one [or relative], he was a teacher.
Wî va camîya girt. De giberî, de gul kuderê ilmê dikirin, ko çûbû, d'ortê gunda camî girtin û ilmê dikirin. He built this mosque. Before, wherever they did religious studies, when he went, in the middle of the village they built the mosque and did religious studies.
Inha li her gundekî, hinek hene li gundên hene em dibînin bavê Abdo, tîcaretê pirr meraq dikin. Now in every village, there are some, in villages we see Bave Abdo, they are very interested in trade.
Gundên hene her gundekî bi tiştekî tê naskirin, eciyalê gund, ew xortê gund niha û berê, vê karî dikin. Some villages are known for something, the generations of the village, the youth of the village now and before, do this work.
Niha em bêjin xortê gundê Moratê berê wextê berî te çi kar pir dikirin? Now let's say the youth of Moratê village in the past, before you, what work did they do mostly?
Wextê, çu rojê te xwe derbas dikir? Ê pirr di gund da, wa çi kar pir dikir? When, how did you pass your days? The majority in the village, what work did they do mostly?
Korbî, ardê xwe me dikir. Pehlecî ye, şixre cî ye. Labor, we worked our land. Harvesting, plowing.
Yanî me genim diçand, me pehle dikira, û şixre dikişand, car car wekî rojê hîro ga çiqas germ ba me kêf dikir. Meaning we planted wheat, we did harvesting, and pulled the plow, sometimes like today, no matter how hot it was, we enjoyed it.
Yanî ga çiqas şew be, zû hûr dibe. Meaning the hotter/burnier it is, the sooner it [the wheat] gets threshed.
Ê xeyê wa eziyeta bîna ma noka. Dinya xweş bû ye. Yes, imagine that hardship compared to now. The world was good.
Bes sîqe nemaye, hezkirin nemaye. Tiştin hene dikeve ber tiştina, heta tiştin rind dibe, tiştin jî hinda dibe. But trust is gone, love is gone. Some things fall before things, until things get better, things also get lost.
Ê bavê Abdo, insan di gihînekî kijan mecalê di emrê xwe da dibe bes e zeraat bi? Di kijan emrî da? Eh Bave Abdo, at what stage in his life does a human reach where farming is enough? At what age?
Gul... xolîxan e. Well... it's a dust-house [life is transient].
Yanî hewa siheta te ye cawabê mera dê. Siheta te. Meaning the condition of your health gives the answer to a man. Your health.
Em bibên yanî di çelî û pêncî da lingê te şikî, Xwedê neke û mero seqet bû, ortê te yarê mişkar o nabe. Let's say in your 40s and 50s your leg breaks, God forbid and man becomes crippled, in the middle you can't be a doer of work.
Bes ê me, elhemdillah, wa em sê bira ne noka li gund, elhemdillah em nebcîwo dimeşin. But us, praise God, we are three brothers now in the village, praise God we walk without needing help.
Dîsa heva jî nîmetekî pirr mezin e dayî me. Û elhemdillah ji wî Xwedayî ra. Again this is a very big blessing given to us. And praise be to that God.
Yanî go ro emrê me hefte, hefte û hinek, bereket vê rsqê dîsa. Meaning since our age is 70, 70 and some, blessing on this sustenance again.
Xwedê ji te razî be. God be pleased with you.
Bavê Abdo, wesayît di berê da tunebûn. Bave Abdo, vehicles didn't exist in the past.
Wesayîtê neqilê ji gundekî herin bajarekî, wek niha tune bûn. We çawa diçûn dihatin? Transport vehicles to go from a village to a city, like now didn't exist. How did you go and come?
Weletimê, sêrî hewa manê nîn. My countryman, first these things didn't exist.
Ê şer mehî naqlekê 'erebanek dibirin. Every month they took a cart once.
We din jî tenek û dudu zêde dianîn, ne bazar hebû, ne xidre hebû, ne tiştek hebû. And the others brought a tin or two extra, neither market existed, nor vegetables existed, nor anything existed.
Şûna çay qehwe hejîr û mûj derdimis... dimsa şerîn hebû. Û ji vê bi qewetir e. Instead of tea coffee, figs and raisins and molasses... sweet molasses existed. And stronger than this.
Yanî kar nedikirin, kar nedikirin. Meaning they didn't work, they didn't work.
Her wextekî... Every time...
Wextê xwe heye. Has its time.
Gotinek me heye di demka sîsana ye, demka gulana ye. We have a saying, it's the time of white flowers, time of roses.
Yek o gula. One of roses.
Mala te ava, sihet xweş be gewerê. Thanks, health be good, white-haired one.
Xwedê siheta te xweş ke gewerê. God make your health good, white-haired one.
Xwedê ji te razî be. Am pir kêfxweş bûn az wextê gavek li cem te, li bova û kala rûdinim, li cem dayika rûdinim... God be pleased with you. We were very happy, when I sit a moment with you, with fathers and grandfathers, with mothers...

Çaw î şêx? How are you Sheikh?
Hemdillah, tu çaw î? Praise God, how are you?
Rojê xweş derbas dikî? Passing a good day?
Elhemdillah. Praise God.
Ê navî te bi xêr? And your name please?
Abdo Hesen. Abdo Hesen.
Kekê Abdo, tu bi xwe ji gundî Moratê yî? Brother Abdo, are you yourself from Moratê village?
Erê. Yes.
Ka em derbasî gundê Moratê bûn, em navbînin garî ma çiqas sa... Pir kes hebin, me vêra deng kir, me got ka em ser qenatê Efrîn deng kin. When we entered Moratê village, we didn't see... Many people were there, we called to them, we said let's speak on the Afrin channel.
Deng kin, derdê xwe hewal din. Kes pir rawe nekir. Speak, tell your troubles. No one really accepted.
Em hatin ba te jî, te got bila em bi te bişawirînin, wezê te yê kin, bes seze roşkê xwe der naxim, em te ihtîram dikin, teb'en xwesta te ser serê me. We came to you too, you said let us consult with you, make your situation known, but you won't show your face, we respect you, naturally your wish is on our head.
Kekê Abdo em dixwazin niha tu ji me ra xeber de ser vê buhabûnê niha çiye? Brother Abdo, we want you to speak to us now about this inflation, how is it now?
Tiştekî ji bê îşî re, meriv... tu... xwedanê dikanê... semame... çend dikanê seman di gundî Moratê da hene? Something about unemployment, man... you... owner of the shop... groceries... how many grocery shops are there in Moratê village?
Welle hemûlan niha wek sî dukan heye zêde. Well in total now like 30 shops exist, more.
Dikanê seman, yanî û hereket niha li ser vê buhabûnê kûm zeîf bûye? Grocery shops, meaning and the movement now on this inflation has become weak?
Ê bê îşî ye, na ma û şixulê xelkê gîs tinnî ye. Yes unemployment, and people's work is not there at all.
E wada... Niha buhabûn tişt wextîn tiştî xwe didinin, hîn pêda hasser, roj bi roj buha dibe lê? So the situation... Now inflation, things set their price, still on it [?], day by day it gets expensive right?
Lê, ye mesela adeten niha mesela berê buha ye, qese... qes, terk li ser dolar. Hîn dolar dikeve ser. Yes, for example usually now for example before it was expensive, speaking... rate, based on dollar. Still dollar goes up.
Dikeve ser. Goes up.
Tu ji vî demî... wekî kirê ye? For this period... is it rented?
Kirê ye, ew jî dewa yek sal me dikan girtiye. It is rent, and we have rented the shop for about a year now.
Dewa yek sal e te dikan girtiye. Zehmetiya te esas tenê ye? You've rented the shop for about a year. Is your difficulty mainly just that?
Tenê ye. Just that.
Çi navê vî bazarî çi ye û millet tê dikand, an na, li gund jî kar tishkekî kêm e kekê Avdo? What is the name of this market and do people come to the shop, or not? Is work scarce in the village too, brother Avdo?
Erê, milletê gund da şênîk xurt e li gund da, meselen bêjin xurt e dime, û milletê me kêm e li gund da. Yes, the population within the village is quite strong [numerous], let's say it's strong with us, but our [local] people are few in the village.
Kar niha kêm e? Vê bihabûnê tesîr lê kiriye? Is work scarce now? Has this inflation affected it?
Erê, tesîrekî çêbûye, millet roj bi roj deke bê îşî reşî, tiştê destê xwe digire, ne wek berê ye. Yes, it has had an effect, people are becoming unemployed day by day, holding onto what they have, it's not like before.
Li ba wek berê ye? Yanî meselen îsal ser demsal e, demsal nema? Compared to before? I mean, for example, this year is the season, is the season gone?
Nema. It is gone.
Ti dît zêde çûbûya, sal çûbû kaxez yan bi? Have you seen it go up excessively, has the year gone [badly] or how was it?
Werşê xeyatê... ew jî di şuxulînin, ew jî sekinîne, noka ew jî berê cejnê sekinîne. Tailoring workshops... they were working, now they have stopped, now even before Eid they have stopped.
Erê. Yes.
Lê berê meselen, elhemdullah hereket tiştekî hebû zêde, werşê xeyata di şuxulîn... noka giş sekinî ye. But before, for example, praise God, there was quite a lot of movement, tailoring workshops were working... now everything has stopped.
Niha, sedema wê bê aşîrî jî kêm bûye? Now, is the reason for that because [cash/liquidity] has decreased too?
Niha li her gundekî em dibînin, însan halê xwe teng e, halê xwe çetin e, rojê xwe çetin derbas dibe. Now in every village we see, people are in a tight situation, their situation is difficult, they get through their day with difficulty.
Bi dên tişt dertê, tê dên didî? Do things go out on credit? Do you give credit?
Tê dên... tê dên nadî, tu na şuxulî. On credit... if you don't give on credit, you won't work.
Tu na şuxulî? You won't work?
Tu na şuxulî. Heta serê me heye, heta meselen fêtrokê didin, heta... îşbare, ti kê destê... You won't work. Until we have [stock/capital], until for example they give [payments]... it's forced, you [give]...
Dikan jî... dikanê saman? The shop too... a grocery/goods shop?
Tu bidî nadî, tu na şuxulî. Şuxul ne tê cem te. Whether you give or don't give [credit], you won't work. Work won't come to you.
Erê. Yes.
Û bê aşîrî niha kêm bûye. And liquidity has decreased now.
Û te dên da... yanî rasmilê saman zeîf e. And if you gave credit... I mean the capital for goods is weak.
E bişkê. Û îşbar e, ti kê, îşbar bidî dibe. Yes, it breaks [the business]. And it's forced, you will, you have to give [credit].
Bes me'nî hereket çêdibe, şuxul çêdibe. But it means movement happens, work happens.
Kekê Avdo, berî em derên, em dixwazin tu ji me ra xeberdînekî dûrê, mîslê rojê divê gundî me ra bikî. Brother Avdo, before we leave, we want you to give us a brief word, like for the day [Eid], for this village of ours.
Welleh, em hêvî dikin cejna we pîroz be, û miletê me giş bi xêr û xweşî be. By God, we hope your Eid is blessed, and that all our people are in goodness and happiness.
Bes miletê me feqîr e. Îro kesî pere tunebe, kesî nikare tiştekî bike. But our people are poor. Today if someone has no money, no one can do anything.
Îro pere hebe, însan derdikeve bazarê, diçe tê. Pere tunebe, însan nikare derkeve ber derî jî. Today if there is money, a person goes out to the market, goes and comes. If there is no money, a person cannot even step out the door.
Rast e. Miletê me feqîr e, halê xwe ne xweş e. That's true. Our people are poor, their situation is not good.
Û hêvî dikim, em dixwazin, bazarê me hinekî... em dixwazin bazarê me hinekî şuxul têkeve. And I hope, we want, our market to be a little... we want our market to get some work/activity.
Û bihabûn li ser me de? And what about the high prices upon us?
Bihabûn li ser me de. High prices are upon us.
We heye... ji marê te da kû... rûta go... man heye? Do you have... from your side that... purely that... is there stock/inventory remaining?
Si dikan... si dikan saman heye. Three shops... there are three shops with goods.
Dûrê si dikani, tu nav... nav si dikanî da, dikanî te, yanî rojê çiqas rasmil dikênî, birfûşî meselen, digihînin pênc sedî, şeş sedî, têtir? Regarding the three shops, among the three shops, in your shop, meaning how much capital/turnover do you make daily? Do the sales, for example, reach five hundred, six hundred, or more?
Na elhemdullah, zêde. No, praise God, more.
Zêde. More.
Zêde elhemdullah. More, praise God.
Xwedê rizqê te bişîne, em pir kêfxweş bûn. Em dixwazin, yanî tiştek destê me da tê, em ji miletê xwe ra hawar bikin. May God send you provision, we were very happy. We want, meaning whatever comes from our hand, to call out for our people.
Bes bi rastî, niha ez nav milet digerim, ez dibînim, babîn pir çêbûye. True.
Bes bi rastî, niha ez nav milet digerim, ez dibînim, babîn pir çêbûye. But truly, now as I walk among the people, I see, inflation has happened significantly.
Û li gund da jî kar tuneye. Yes.
Û li gund da jî kar tuneye. And there is no work in the village either.
Lê wellehî kar tuneye, û vê bihabûnê... yanî mara kuştiye. Kuştiye. Yes, by God there is no work, and this inflation... has killed us. Killed us.
Ê niha ti wextê bidayê didinê, roj bi rojî dikêve ser. And now when you give the goods, day by day [the cost] adds up on top of it.
Lê. Ti bidayê xwe bi dolar didinê. Yes. You give your goods [valued] in dollars.
Lê bi dolar ji marê da hesibînin? Yes, but do they calculate it for us in dollars?
Wer bi dere, bitikê, ba qas ki ser Tirkî, û bifroşe. Û em dêl... em Tirkî yê jê mîş dikin. Yanî giş zerar bi zerar e. Come out [with the goods], put it [on the shelf], price it in Turkish [Lira], and sell it. And we... we deal in Turkish [Lira]. Meaning it is all loss upon loss.
Zerar bi zerar e? Loss upon loss?
Lê. Yes.
Xwedê rizqê we bişîne. May God send you provision.
Saxbî. Be healthy [Thank you].
Înşallah Rebê Alemîn rehma ji em qeda bişîne. God willing, the Lord of the Worlds sends mercy to us all.
Amîn, Amîn. Amen, Amen.
Te emrê te, te gotin te li me heye? At your command, do you have anything to say to us?
Saxbî û xweş, Xwedê ji we razî be. Be healthy and happy, may God be pleased with you.
Xwedê ji te razî be. May God be pleased with you.
Miletê kîbar û delal, piştî em derbas bûn... Noble and dear people, after we passed by...
Gundê Maratê bûn, me silavek ji da kekê Avdo li dikanê saman. Me jê warê es'ar jî pirskirin. We were in the village of Maratê, we gave a greeting to brother Avdo at the grocery shop. We also asked him about the situation of prices.
Es'ar jî wekî hûn dibînin, niha ber bihabûnê derê roj bi rojê, û wek kekê Avdo ji mera xeber daye, bê aşîrî jî niha kêm bûye. The prices, as you can see, now due to inflation go up day by day, and as brother Avdo told us, liquidity has also decreased now.
Û li gunda jî kar niha tuneye, dinê jî germ e. And there is no work in the villages right now, and the world [weather] is hot too.
Kû de çûle, kû de çûle tûnebe sa, millet darûniştiye. Where to go, if there is nowhere to go, the people are sitting idle.
Em xwast ki tiştek destê me derketa, me ji milletê xwe ra hawar bikira. We wished that if something could come from our hands, we would have called out for our people.
Bes bimînin heta tola vîdyo, em sekin, em kê çîn ji wa ra. But stay until the end of the video, let's stop [here], we will go [somewhere else] for you.

Welleh şixulê vî hewa... wekî ev hîwaye, şixulê betal e de bêjim. Ne jara ne, ne jar di şixulî me, cara ne şixulî me teben. By God, this work is like... it's a hobby, the work of an unemployed person, let me say. I'm not... I don't work regularly, sometimes I don't work at all, naturally.
Ez şofêr bûm, muwazef bûm. Hama teqaûd derketim jî hatim mal da rûniştim, gotim ka çi karî bikim? I was a driver, an employee. But when I retired, I came and sat at home, I said, "What work should I do?"

Got axirî, ez darêjo, tu darêj. She said, "Finally, I give up, you pour it out [make a mess]."

Ê noka tiştê te çêkiriye jî, yanî Rihda maşallah yanî fen gerek e, huner gerek te hebe. And now the things you have made, I mean Rihda [God willing], mashallah, it requires art, you need to have talent.

Têl. Wire.
Piştî wê em bala xwe didinê, Bavê Şiyar, pişta te vî tişta çêkir, te hilê dinê yan te difroşî? After that we notice, Bavê Şiyar, after you made these things, do you keep them or do you sell them?
Na, ez hîwaye, hilînim. No, I [do it for] hobby, I keep them.
Hîwaye. Bes. Hobby. Just.
Berî vê, me ji kutkî ewê zeytûnê... me danî kutik heba, noka ji kutkî zeytûnê ye. Before this, we [made] from the crusher, that of the olives... we placed a crusher, now it is of the olive crusher.

Welleh, hewa işte, işte. By God, just like that, so-so.

Tiştê te çêkiriye, te tê da westiya, te zehmetî dît, çibû? The things you made, did you get tired doing them, did you face difficulty, how was it?
Welleh, dalûb heye. Dalûb teben, wa genim, waxtê me dikelandin, genim dikelandin, poşî ma'ne wa kepeko jê derê, dalûb heye. By God, there is the water wheel. The water wheel naturally, like wheat, when we boiled it, boiled wheat, then meaning so the chaff comes off it, there is the water wheel.

Ma tiştên hene, tiştên hene, wek şixra, wek carcara, mlêbe, sîxre ye, avna... Upon my eyes [With pleasure].
Ma tiştên hene, tiştên hene, wek şixra, wek carcara, mlêbe, sîxre ye, avna... Because there are things, there are things, like plows, like threshers, seeders, sleds, these...
Tiştê ew hene, avna gi de kevn in teben. Those things exist, all of these are old naturally.
Waxtê gi em me bêder dît bûn, me genim dît bûn, me cifa... The time when we had seen the threshing floor, we had seen the wheat, we...
Carcar pê ew dikirin, genim pê sop hûr dikirin, poşê bi mlêbê, li ba dikirin. They used the thresher, they crushed the wheat with the stick, then winnowed it with the fork.
Poşê genim jî em jê derdixistin, îşta delûb heye... Then we extracted the wheat from it, there is the water wheel...
Şexre... nizanim hineka ne... belkî nizanibin. The threshing board... I don't know, some people... maybe they don't know it.
Şeyol... şeyol çiye? Bi xwe wekî zawî ye. The "Şeyol" (threshing sled)... what is a "Şeyol"? It is like a corner piece itself.
Pê sapra dikirin, genim ra dikirin, ceh ra dikirin, hîç şexre. They used it to thresh straw, to thresh wheat, to thresh barley, just the threshing board.
Şexre jî aw dibû, bi kêndirê girêdan, li qatira bar dikirin. The threshing board was like that, tied with ropes, loaded onto mules.
Ew babê wesayît li... daderaktor meraktor tune bûn. There were no vehicles... there were no tractors or anything like that.
Gi bi qatira bûn. Ê qatira yekê çû, were îşta, ew jêra tişta çêkiribû. Everything was done with mules. If a mule went or came, well, he had made that thing for it.
Yanî sewayê divê şûşeyê kî ye? Tê hilînin wekî zikra wekî... So, regarding this glass cabinet? You keep them as a souvenir, like...
Eywa zikra, me'ne rûk bibin, bên hek... yek çin e. Yes, a souvenir, meaning let them be distinct/visible, let them come look... see what it is.
Hêja me berê... em biva tiştî dişixûlîn. Back in the day... we used to work with these things.
De noka gi tişt gi hedîs bûye, gi... ew tî xeyre bûye. But now everything has become modern, everything... it has changed.
Berê rehetbûn bû. In the past, there was comfort/peace of mind.
Belê. Yes.
Saeta te xweş xalê Şêx. Em pir kêfxweş bûn bi dîtina te. Bless you, Uncle Sheikh. We were very happy to see you.

Em kêfxweş bûn, wekî hûn hatin, hûn dixwazin va tiştî bibînin. We were happy that you came, that you wanted to see these things.
Ew bikin... bela bikin... daxin ser ewê me'ne xelk bibîne, ka em çi karî dikin. Publish it... broadcast it... upload it so that people can see what kind of work we do.
Wê va tiştî gi çêdikirin ji işta... me'ne zikra bimîne ji qiçikê qiçikê me ra. They used to make all these things... meaning, let it remain as a memory for our grandchildren.
Zanibin me berê çi rehetbûn dîtibû. So they know what kind of "comfort" (hardship/life) we experienced in the past.
Zor spas, saeta we jî xweş. Thank you very much, bless you too.
Ehlaw sehlen. You are welcome.
Rojbaş. Good day.

Elhemdu lîllah. Xwedê bereket bide ser. Praise be to God. May God grant blessings.
Navê te bi xêr? What is your name, please?
Navê min Ebdulreûf Çawîş. My name is Ebdulreûf Çawîş.
Ji gundê Maratê? From the village of Maratê?
Ji Maratê. Ehlen we sehlen. From Maratê. Welcome.
Ez Xelîlê Gindî, ba dê naş bikî, kanal Youtube min li Efrîn e, min rê li nivandarîya gundê Maratê ne. I am Xelîlê Gindî, you might recognize the father, I have a YouTube channel in Afrin, today we are guests in the village of Maratê.
Ehlen we sehlen. Welcome.
Me çîçkê yêgin... teswîran... me got em li halê we bipirsin... we'de we çawaye, çi waye? We came a bit... filming... we said let's ask about your well-being... how is your situation, how are things?
Elhemdu lîllah, bereket bide ser. Baş e... Rind xerap, îdare dibe. Praise be to God, may He grant blessings. It is good... Good or bad, we manage.
We'de gunda îşta hane pêk tê. The situation of the villages is just getting by like this.
Dîsa elhemdu lîllah. Again, praise be to God.
Û dinê jî niha germ e. And the world (weather) is hot right now.
Dinê germ e... Keko... berê me digot car carê gi şewb dibû, em şad dibûn. The world is hot... Brother... in the past we used to say, sometimes when there was a heatwave/virus, we were happy.
Me'ne em sopaz bûn derxistin. Meaning, we brought out the stoves.
Belê. Yes.
Me digo elhemdu lîllah bû şewb. We said, praise God, it became a heatwave (warm enough).
Bê şewb. Without the heatwave.
Eger dinê germ biba, car carê rind lê dikir. Car carê hûr dikir. If the weather got hot, sometimes it snowed well. Sometimes it fell lightly.
Sop diqemirî... sêlekê sop zû hûr dikir, bimar ro sop derdiket. The stove would glow red... a basket of dung fuel would burn down quickly, by the time the stove went out.
Me hew dikir, me digo ro... elhemdu lîllah bû şewb. We would do that, saying... praise God it became warm.
Me bêderê xwe pişt lê şikand. We broke the back of our threshing floor (finished the hard winter work).
Belê. Gundê Maratê, çiqas bîrê avê lê xistine li vir da? Yes. In the village of Maratê, how many water wells have been dug around here?
Li rojava gund hebe, çi, kuku... teqrîben... Berê kanî hebûn, şûnîhekê didu sê hebûn. On the west side of the village, what, oh my... approximately... In the past there were springs, there were two or three springs.
Ê... avê şîrketî jî derket. And... the company water (municipal water) also came out.
Ê vê carê... dest bi bîra bûn. And this time... they started with the wells.
Ê gucaxê xwe gihiştê lêxist... dê... dê... teqrîben her malekê bîrek xwe lêxistine. And whoever managed to afford it dug one... come on... come on... almost every house has dug a well for themselves.
Belê. Yes.
O danoka jî... êş avê kêm bûye. Tabeqa avê daketiye. And now too... the water has decreased. The water table has dropped.
Ser va... erd hezand dinê da... li ser va baranê kêm e. Upon this... the earth shook in the world... upon this, the rain is scarce.
Ez emrê min... tewlîdê min çel û pênc in. Emrê min berke heştê ye. Me, my age... my birth year is forty-five. My age is nearly eighty.
Xwedê emrê kî dirêj bide te. May God grant you a long life.
Tu sal, wekî salek ser me ra darbazz biye, me nedîdî. A year like the one that has passed over us, we haven't seen.
Berê saqa diketin... qurmok hebû, xûzik hebû. In the past, the cold struck... there was smut (fungus), there was rust (fungus).
Girba dibû, baranê lê dikir, pîvaz xêr diket. There was fog/mist, rain would fall, the onions would yield well.
Belê. Yes.
Me... zeytûnê jina... awê radikirin... çawîrê radikirin. We... the olives of the women... they picked that up... they picked up the gleanings.
Navê xwe "payîz xêr" bû. Ê... gubark şê dibûn. Me xema baranê ne dixwar. Its name was "Autumn Bounty". And... the dust would settle. We didn't worry about the rain.
Ê xew noka... em gol xwe dinin. And look now... we plant our saplings.
Emkê xema çi bixwin û ê çi nexwin û baran e û ne baran e û... We worry about what to eat and what not to eat, and is it rain or is it not rain, and...
Subhanallah! Bi sela av da kişand... wek salek derbas biye... Glory be to God! It dragged on with the floods... like a year passed...
Emrê mi va qas sal çêbû, min tu salan nokî noşîfan... gi... gi baran lê neket tinne bû. My life has been this many years, I haven't seen years of drought like this... that... that no rain fell, there was none.
Niha te got mal li hene bîr lê xistine. Bîr gundî Maratê di çiqas metro da yanî, çiqas metro te lêxist av tê der? Now you said there are houses that dug wells. The wells in the village of Maratê, at how many meters, meaning, how many meters did you dig for water to come out?
Wallahî... ji... bîr heye ji pêncî û jor da ya ne. By God... from... there are wells from fifty meters and up (deeper).
Yane mabeyna pêncî û sedî jor da. Tê der. Meaning between fifty and one hundred upwards. It comes out.
Hesebe tebeqê. Depending on the layer (strata).
Belê. Yes.
Ê gi bîrê xwe tinen, avê xwe bi sîtêra tînin? And those who don't have wells, do they bring their water via tankers?
Wallah bi sîtêra tînin. By God, they bring it with tankers.
Bi cîran didin hevdû, li hevdû dinêrin. Yanî... Neighbors give to each other, look out for each other. Meaning...
Bil exes Maratê... kes meqtû' nema. Especially in Maratê... no one was left cut off (without water).
Belê. Yes.
Tê bîra min... vo bîrna tune bûn. I remember... these wells didn't exist.
Û ka hane... yane... hedimiya, herimî. And where is that... meaning... it collapsed, it got ruined.
Bîrek... li mala ewê hebû... çolê hebû... There was a well... at the house of that one... in the field...
Eywa mezin bi şaxura û bi kere û bi teneka û bi rawiya... diçûn ji kehniyê danî dihatin. Yes, big, with scoops and with donkeys and with tins and with water skins... they used to go to the spring and come back.
Û diçûn wa bîra mala Ehmî Zênê û... And they went to that well of Ehmedê Zeynê's house and...
Rabû ew bîra... motor xera bû, tê bîra min. Then that well... the motor broke down, I remember.
Mhm. Mhm.
Motor xera bû, lawê xwe hat. The motor broke down, his son came.
Go motor xera bûye wallah yine... bila gav ji bîr tên... bila ne tên lê biweşîne kevir. Me motor ragi daniye makîneyê sonda. He said the motor is broken, by God... let them come from the well... let them not come, throw stones at it. We lifted the motor and put it on the drilling machine.
Ji gi şelantî derkiriye, çi dikî. It blew out all the connecting rods, what can you do.
Sê ro... makîneyê sehetanîk motor çêkir, wa çare layê xwe şandin bofkê min, go... For three days... the machine [worked] for an hour, fixed the motor, then sent his son to my bellows/workshop, he said...
Xalê Mixtar, bila begcî banke. Uncle Mukhtar, let the crier call out.
Go bila werin, me yê bîr... hazir kiriye, bila her kes av garaka xwe werin bikşînin. He said let them come, we have prepared the well, let everyone come and draw their turn of water.
Me diçû... çûle... bi kere, eywa mezin bi rawiya, bi şaxura, bi kuga, danî dihatin. We used to go... to the field... with donkeys, yes big ones with water skins, with scoops, with buckets, putting it down and coming back.
Niha em bên... xalê min, li gundî Maratê sîtêra avê bi dûrê çiqoyî bardidin niha? Eswarê gind... yanî sîtêra avê bi çi bardidin? Now let's come... my uncle, in the village of Maratê, for how much do they deliver a water tanker now? The village rates... meaning, for what price do they deliver a water tanker?
De wallah, ewro berê keko... yane... bi heftê û pênca bû. Well by God, today, before brother... meaning... it was for seventy-five.
Bi pêncî bû, bi heftê û pênca bû. Kirin sed, noka kirin sed pêncî û... It was fifty, it was seventy-five. They made it a hundred, now they made it a hundred and fifty and...
Zêyî pê ra, tişt buha bû, mazot buha bû... More on top of that, things got expensive, diesel got expensive...
Heba yane. That's how it is, basically.
Olverê bavîniyê jî niha tesîrê milet kirîye. Niha di gundî Maratê da jî, olverê xwe yîn pirr çi... ser çi dikin olverê? The planting of olives has also influenced the people now. Now in the village of Maratê too, mostly... what do they do with their olive trees?
Wallah olverê xwe... de... ser zeytûna wa. By God, their olive trees... well... it's about the olives.
Ê... erdet boş namînin. And... the lands don't stay empty.
Em bên... go erdet boş hebin, nîska, noka, kizbera, kemûna, dara diçînin. Let's say... if there are empty lands, they plant lentils, chickpeas, coriander, cumin, trees.
Dîsa nav zeytûna dara wallah hîne diçînin. Ê baranê jî lê nake. Again, amongst the olive trees, by God, they still plant. But the rain doesn't fall on it.
Lê nake. Ê çandî jî poşman bû ji zirare ket. It doesn't fall. And the planter regretted it because he fell into loss.
Hew jî berdan. So they gave that up too.
Niha halîyen, yalî wada jî, zîraet pirr wa tişt na çandin? Now currently, on that side too, agriculture, not many things are planted?
Em ne... tenê kanê biçîne... yane di zera re. We don't... only where can you plant... meaning it's in loss.
