jê re dibêjin hewa mehsere ye, mehsereya Mihemedê Qûşê. they call it an olive press, the olive press of Mihemedê Qûşê.
Dibêjin ku, li derdorê vê şikeftê çend gund hene, They say that there are a few villages around this cave,
derdora vî gundî dihatin vê şikeftê. the surroundings of this village would come to this cave.
Mehsere bû, xelk dihatin vê derê zeytûnên xwe dianîn û derdikirin. It was an olive press, people would come here, bring their olives and press them.
Niha wek hûn dibînin li pey min Now, as you can see behind me,
mezin e şikeft. Li vê derê çêkirine, the cave is large. They built it here,
xelk dihatin li vê derê xew jî dikirin, people would come and even sleep here,
niha em ê herin mehsereyê jî bibînin, now we will also go to see the olive press,
û li hundir kesek heye wê ji me ra li ser vê mehsereyê biaxive. and there is someone inside who will talk to us about this olive press.
Belê, ev şikeft em lê ne niha, ev a mehsere ye. Yes, this cave we are in right now, this one is the olive press.
Wekî min ji we re gotî, ew a din metbex bû. As I told you, the other one was the kitchen.
Niha mêvanek bi me re heye, ew jî xwediyê şikeftê ye. Now we have a guest with us, he is the owner of the cave.
Wê ji me re hinek behsa vê mehsereyê bike. He will tell us a little bit about this olive press.
Merheba xalo. Hello, uncle.
Ehlen we sehlen. Bi xêr hatin ser çavan. Welcome. You are welcome, you are on our eyes.
Ser seran, ser çavan. Destpêkê em te nas bikin, navê te çi ye? You are welcome. First, let us get to know you, what is your name?
Navê min Mihemed e, bavê Vani ye. My name is Mihemed, father of Vani.
Belê, bi xelkê ji gundê... Xelnêrê. Yes, among the people from the village... Xelnêr.
Gundê Xelnêrê, erê. The village of Xelnêr, yes.
Em dixwazin destpêkê, dîroka vê şikeftê, yanî vedigere beriya çend salan? First of all, we want to know, the history of this cave, I mean, how many years does it go back?
Welle teqrîben dused heta sêsed sal e. Well, it's roughly two hundred to three hundred years old.
Em karin bibêjin gelekî kevnar e. We can say it is very ancient.
Gelek kevnar e, pir kevnar e. Very ancient, quite ancient.
Belê, niha me dît wek got, hewa mehsere ye, Yes, now we saw, as you said, this is the olive press,
a din ew a kelê, me dît metbex e. the other one near the castle, we saw it is a kitchen.
Vê derê dibêjin şikefta mehsereyê metbex e jê re. They call this place the cave of the olive press kitchen.
Em dixwazin bizanibin destpêkê li vê derê we çi dikir? Karê vê derê çi bû? We want to know first, what did you do here? What was the work here?
Ev der mehsere bû. Zeytûn dianiya... This place was an olive press. People used to bring olives...
derdora Efrînê dihatin, Miskê, Aşûra dihatin, the surroundings of Afrin would come, Miskê, Aşûra would come,
nehiya Mabeta, Xelnêrê, Cûqê, Keferşîlê... the sub-district of Mabeta, Xelnêr, Cûqê, Keferşîl...
van gundan hemû dihatin vê derê mehsere zeyt derdixistin. Zeytûn... zeytûn erê. all these villages would come here to the olive press to extract oil. Olives... olives, yes.
Beriya erebe û ew makîne derbas bibin, bi qantiran dianîn. Before cars and machines entered, they would bring them on mules.
Belê. Yes.
Ev beriya çend salan? How many years ago was this?
Welle berî van... ev dibin Well, before these... this would be
şêst sal, pêncî sal heye. sixty years, maybe fifty years ago.
Berî vê pêncî sal, şêst sal heye yanî tiştên weha ne. Before this fifty years, sixty years, I mean, it was like that.
Niha em dibînin li vê derê, we tiştekî bi tenê çêkiriye, Now we see here, you have built only one thing,
di hundir de we çi dikir? Te dikarî ji me re bibêjî we li her aliyekî çi dikir? what did you do inside? Could you tell us what you did on each side?
Bêrî mehsere bû... me ev ê vir hinekî ji ber xwe çêkir. Previously it was an olive press... we built this part somewhat on our own.
Me vê derê ji bo me'nê me ev seha anî cihekî pêz me tê de çêkir, ji bo ketin û derketinê. Pêz, mî û tişt me tê de xwedî kir. We brought a courtyard to this place for meaning, we made a place for sheep in it, for entering and exiting. We kept sheep, ewes and things in it.
Kanî hinekî ji me re behsa aletê li vê derê bike, we çawa dişixiland li vir? Please tell us a little about the tools here, how did you operate them here?
Em ne gihîştine, me ne şixulandine... We didn't reach that time, we didn't operate them...
Bes aletên wextê... ev demên berê, tiştekî wekî şeddadê destan hebû. But the tools of the time... these old times, there was something like a hand press.
Cilan çardikûşe dikirin, dikirin binî şedda zeyt diderivî. They would fold the cloths into a square, put them under the press, and the oil would drip out.
Kevir ser... motor re difetilî, ser... berê ser qantirê bû, paşê qantir ew ser motorê bû. The stone would turn on... an engine, on... before it was on a mule, then after the mule it was on an engine.
Wek tu bêjî, berê qantiran dikişandin... As you say, before mules used to pull it...
Erê, qantir pê xistibûn. Yes, they used mules for it.
Niha li vê derê cihekî mîna fetihok jî heye, ev hewa ji bo... Now there is a place here like a vent as well, this air is for...
Ew tenefusa xwa dibe, ji hewa ra. It takes its own breath, for the air.
Tenefîs jê ra dibêjin. They call it a ventilator.
Em werin, niha me mehsere xelas kir em werin metbexê. We navê wê kiriye metbex. Let's come, now we have finished with the olive press, let's come to the kitchen. You have named it the kitchen.
Vir e, esas dibe... ji dema Fransayê de. Em nizanin, ji vê derê re dibêjin şikefta metbexê. This is it, basically... from the French period. We don't know, they call this place the kitchen cave.
Di metbexê de çi dikirin? What did they do in the kitchen?
Ya nizanin tiştek, tê de şîv dikirin, Well, we don't know, they made meals in it,
bes... ev dema gundan hemû pez tê de bûn, mî û tişt tê de bûn. but... this time when all the villages were here, there were sheep in it, ewes and things were in it.
Pez tê de bû û mî û tişt tê de bûn. There were sheep in it and ewes and things were in it.
Niha min pirs kir gotin, xelkê dihatin, diçûn vê derê, xew jî dikirin... Now I asked, they said people used to come and go here, and they would even sleep...
Dibêjin weha ye. Belê. Di wî cihî de xew dikirin, nan dixwarin... yên li vir xew dikirin rohniya rojê didîtin û derdiketin. They say it was like that. Yes. In that place they slept, ate bread... those who slept here would wait for the daylight and leave.
Havînan fireh e li hawîrdor? Is it spacious around here in the summer?
Erê, jêr fireh e. Yes, the bottom is spacious.
Erê jêr fireh e... Yes, the bottom is spacious...
Erê. Yes.
Em bêjin... piştî ko mehsere sekinî, Let's say... after the olive press stopped working,
di hundirê wê de we pez kirî, we mîşk kirî. you put sheep and poultry inside it.
Teqrîben beriya... ev taqet heye, paşê min buldozerek anî, min dîwar da qul kir û derî tê re min çêkir, xilas. Roughly before... this capacity is there, then I brought a bulldozer, I made a hole in the wall and I made a door through it, and that's it.
Wê axirê ne gotin bi xwe ra, em vî cihî îstîsmar bikin, em bibêjin, ev cihekî dîrokî ye, kevnare ye... In the end, didn't they say to themselves, let's utilize this place, let's say, this is a historical place, an ancient one...
Bi xwe, em dixwestin em wê çêkin... wekî methefek li vê herêmê. Actually, we wanted to make it... like a museum in this area.
Yanî çawa met'em aîlat bêne. Saheya li nav dar û dorê de. Me dê metbexek... aîlat, haflat mesela me dê çêkira. Mesela cihê îd mîladê... mesela xitbe, I mean, like a family restaurant. A courtyard surrounded by trees. We would make a kitchen... we would organize family gatherings, parties, for instance. For example, a place for birthdays... for instance, an engagement party,
Tiştê wilo basît me yê çêkira. We were going to do simple things like that.
Ê herb pê de hat. Why didn't you do it?
Ê herb pê de hat. The war broke out.
Belê. Yes.
Berî heft, heşt salan. Me dest pê kir herb bi ser da hat û me berda. Before seven, eight years. We started, the war broke out, and we abandoned it.
Te carî ji bavê xwe... an jî kalikê xwe, ku ji te re gotin: wexta em bibêjin sewaş an jî herb dibû... dihatin şikeftê? Have you ever heard from your father... or your grandfather, that when we say there was a battle or war... they would come to the cave?
Ê welle... em bi xwe, di şerê Sûriyê û Tirkiyê... em dihatin vir, di herbê de... wexta firoke lê dixistin, em bi xwe dihatin vir. Well... we ourselves, during the war between Syria and Turkey... we would come here, during the war... when the planes were striking, we ourselves came here.
Herb dibû... Qesîfe dihatin, baz didan dihatin şikeftê. Teqrîben vê da... heftê, heştê malî aîlat dihatin tê de xew dikirin. There was war... Shells were falling, they would run and come to the cave. Roughly around here... seventy, eighty families would come and sleep in it.
Yanî ne tenê ji gundê we... So not only from your village...
Na, ji gundên derdorê jî û nahiya Mabeta jî dihatinê. No, from the surrounding villages and the Mabeta sub- district too.
Niha Xelnêr em zanin, tê de şikeft pir in, Now we know Xelnêr, there are many caves in it,
ez nizanim çi qas şikeft hene, em dixwazin tu ji me re bibêjî. I don't know how many caves there are, we want you to tell us.
Teqrîben dora heştê şikeftî. Heştê şikeft zanim... Roughly around eighty caves. I know of eighty caves...
Di dorê de jî hene. Ne bes ewqas e, derdora dused cihî hene. There are some around as well. Not just that many, there are around two hundred places.
Tu dikarî şikeftên din, ku hinek navdar in, navên wan ji me re bibêjî? Could you tell us the names of other caves that are somewhat famous?
Şikefta Salo heye... There is Salo's cave...
ya Qişlê heye... there is the Qişla one...
pir in, ê Sûsê heye. there are many, there is Sûsê's.
yanî navên wan pir in, bê tonî. Ê Hemberê heye. I mean, there are many names, it's endless. There is Hemberê's.
Yanî şikeft pir in di vir de. I mean, there are many caves here.
Hemû jî kevnar in. They are all ancient as well.
Ha, kevnar in. Kesî bi xwe nekolane, bes... yên wextê Seferberiyê hinek, yanî di vê herbê de kolane. Ha, they are ancient. No one dug them themselves, only... some during the Mobilization period, I mean, they dug them during this war.
Belê. Yes.
Spasiya te dikim. I thank you.
Ser çavan. Di nava çavan re. Sihetxweş. Gelek sipas. Ser seran, ser çavan re. On my eyes. Upon my eyes. Health to you. Thank you very much. On my head, on my eyes.

Xarzê, dara zeytûnê darekî mubarek e. Subhanuhu we Teala Niece, the olive tree is a blessed tree. Subhanuhu wa Ta'ala
Çi qas qedrê vê dara zeytûnê heye. How much value this olive tree has.
Elhemdulelah ji Xwedê re, vê dara zeytûnê Alhamdullilah to God, this olive tree
bav û kalên me û rebbulalemin liqiyê me kir. Dara zeytûnê bi xwe... our forefathers and the Lord of the worlds bestowed it upon us. The olive tree itself...
kenzek e. is a treasure.
Û nasnameya çiyayê Kurmênc e. And it is the identity of the Kurd Dagh (Kurdish Mountain).
Miletê me, Efrînê nas dibe bi dara zeytûnê. Our nation, Afrin, is known by the olive tree.
Mm. Mm.
Ev zeytûna ku... em pê karê xwe dibînin, mewsima xwe radikin, em pê... This olive that... we do our work with it, we harvest our season, we...
xerciya xwe xerc dikin. spend our expenses with it.
Û dara zeytûnê wekî zarokan e, xarzê. And the olive tree is like children, niece.
Te li dara zeytûnê nerî, dara zeytûnê wê li te binêre. If you look after the olive tree, the olive tree will look after you.
Ev dara zeytûnê ne bes wilo ye ku em werin hema salê carekê şaxên xwe bibirrin û berhev bikin û herin. This olive tree is not just like that, that we come just once a year, cut the branches, gather them and leave.
Darên zeytûnê te kê xizmet kir, te li darê nerî, dar kê ji te binere. If you take care of the olive trees and look after them, they will look after you.
Vê darê... noka ma çinî, emê pak vadan, emê di nav ra... This tree... now that we have harvested it, we will clean it, we will...
di nav ra qisniyê kevin, çiqniyê kevin, emê jê derxin, î ecêr berdinê, emê semad kin, cut off the old and dry branches and take them out, we will leave the new ones, we will fertilize it,
haşo eceb mesela emê zibil kin, emê cotî xwa baş ûn... we will add manure to it, we will do a good plowing...
Vê darê, k'ma dayê, ev haw jî b'efte le, ev b'made.. This tree, whatever you give it, it will yield, it produces...
Ê xorze tiştekî k'ta xizmet nekir, Nephew, if you don't take care of something,
mûsimê xwa tineye, te mûsimê nade te. it will not have a season, it will not give you a harvest.
Ê elhemdulelah ji Xwudê ra û ji fedlê Rebî alemîn ra û Xwudê rehma xwa l'ap-ejdadê me kê, Praise be to God, and by the grace of the Lord of the worlds, and may God have mercy on our ancestors,
ji me ra vê milkê hiştin, ji me ra vê darê hiştin, û em jî li dû şûpê wan dimeşin. they left us this property, they left us these trees, and we are following in their footsteps.
Em vê darê zeytûnê l'cem me... ji ewladî me baxtir e. To us, this olive tree... is better than our children.
Ji ewlad baxtir e, xêre... ruhî însên b'axê va girêdayî ye, It's better than children, indeed... human soul is tied to the soil,
însên ji axê peyda bûye, û b'axê dest sitrê, û ha darê zeytûnê l'ser vê axê d'îşe, humans were created from soil, and return to the soil, and this olive tree lives on this soil.
û elhemdulela ji xwudê ra, elhemdulela ji xwudê ra, şikir elhemdulela. And praise be to God, praise be to God, thanks and praise be to God.
S'î hesaw l'mûsim zeîfe, sedemê xwa cefaf e, va çend salin baran ne bûye. Look, this year the harvest is weak, the reason is the drought, it hasn't rained for a few years.
Û zirufî dinê wediyê Sûriyê ev tiştê k'zanin... ev tew gûlê m'ne ev te'sîrê gûlê min ev esliheyê kîmawî û dar... And the world's circumstances, the situation in Syria, these things you know... wait let me tell you, the effect of these chemical weapons and trees...
çiqas bê barûd û dar te'sîrê li darê de kê, nîsba kirma zêde dibe. the gunpowder and such greatly affect the trees, the amount of worms increases.
L'vê darê pê te'sîr dibe, pir dar hene, l'pir cîyan hişk bûyî ji xwa bar e, xêre b'sabeb ewamil tebî'ye... It affects this tree, there are many trees, in many places they have dried up, indeed due to natural factors...
Ji cewî dinê te'sîr bûyî b'ev dar na... It's because of the global weather that it affected these trees.
Ê balê xwa pê dayî, î xizmet kirî, î av dayî, î qîmeta zanî anî darê xwa, The one who has paid attention to them, taken care of them, watered them, and valued their trees,
wa wek dibe ji filita ne, ta gûlê m'ne. they have somehow survived, let me tell you.
Vê daro tiştkî rind bûn, bes ê xizmet nekirî b'darê, gîndî o pir o yeqîntî yî. These trees were doing somewhat well, but the one who didn't take care of the trees, many have become firewood.
Pir o ko darê gîndî pê... pê b'leme şikestin, tişqinek neda, Many of those trees that became firewood... they broke, they didn't yield anything,
xêre, baranê lê nekir, semad ne bûye, xizmet ne bûye, ev dar o yeqîntî d'be. well, it didn't rain on them, there was no fertilizer, no care, so these trees turn into firewood.
Em werin tab me re gût ku te vê avdayî der kirî em kanin bêjin zeytûnan înqas kirin e, av l'cem we heye? Let's come back to what you said about watering, which you mentioned saved the olives. Do you have water here?
Av elhemdulelah ji fedlê rebî alemin heye, Praise be to God and by the grace of the Lord of the worlds, we have water,
av, her we k'mesela î bîra xwa heye bîr kola ye, ma em bên gundek anîn bîra b'kulin... gundek nakulin bîra b'kulin. water, just like the one who has their own well, they have dug a well, some villages have dug wells... some villages haven't dug wells.
Ev bîr e, bîr kolanî s'î tekalif zêde ne, s'î mesrûf d'be, This is a well, digging a well is very costly, it's very expensive,
lê î heye mesela bîr kola vê darê av d'de xizmet d'ke yanî, but the one who has it, for example, has dug a well and waters this tree and takes care of it,
yanî tebê na wê ... wê filitandinê zêde ye... xêre... semad tine ye... derman tine ye, meaning, it has a higher chance of surviving... well... there is no fertilizer... there is no medicine,
ko çêçey her o derman baha ye her o t'yek dar dermanê d'kirê, ê k'li parçekî xê l'hêrekî xê ... because the medicine is expensive, everyone buys medicine for one tree, the one who has it for their own piece of land...
Ez dixwazim werim vê nûqtê. Em bêjin salane yanî em kê mu'edel sînewî çîsa kin, I want to get to this point. Let's say annually, if we calculate the annual average,
çiqas tekalif d'keve vê zeytûnê heta wextê mûsimê zeytûna tê. Begîş yanî teqrîben. how much does this olive cost until the olive harvest season arrives? Just approximately.
Xorze ... şorik ma am heye ... dibê t'nehan nediyê t'dehan ranake... Nephew... there is a common saying... it says if you don't give the nines, you won't lift the tens...
ta gûlê min ne, her tiştk wa ne ye... heta b'qicqkî çûçek wa ne ye ... t'han t'lê sene ke, î fileh nabe. let me tell you, everything is like that... even a small child is like that... if you don't take care of it, it won't flourish.
Yanî mesrûfê xwa pir e, xorze, havo cût e, havo vedan e, her û gûnkê ... I mean its expenses are a lot, nephew, there is the plowing, there is the pruning, and everyday...
gûnkê amîl vêdanê her o deh pênc dolar e, bîst dolar in... the daily wage of a pruning worker is fifteen dollars, twenty dollars...
vedan çî vedan çî ye ... de şûxlî sa'et heft o heta dudya, ruwê haşt deha dar a vedide ... what is pruning, what is pruning... they work from seven o'clock until two, they prune eight to ten trees a day...
de pênc dolara heto bist dolara dibe... wer e cût, mazot baha ye... diraktûr ba.. ta d'kelefe... it's fifteen to twenty dollars... then there's the plowing, diesel is expensive... the tractor is expensive... it costs you...
xêre d'kelefe, de mazot baha ye, û bîma eno vê welat o ciyê mazotê ye d're mazot baha ye.. gi tişt baha ye. well it costs you, diesel is expensive, and even though this country is the place of diesel, diesel is still expensive... everything is expensive.
Em werin naha t'zeyt, hûn hesala çawa dibînin se'rî zeytê... Let's come to the oil now, how do you see the price of oil this year...
Zeyt, xorze ... Zeyt mu'edel ...gilin, ke es'ar alemîyen zeytê ... zeyt b'in sed dolarî ra zirar e... Oil, nephew... The oil average... they say that the global prices of oil... oil under a hundred dollars is a loss...
b'in sed dolarî tene ke sed dolarî ... zirar e... under a hundred dollars, not even a hundred dollars... it's a loss...
Kêmtirî wena yê hesal? Is it less than that this year?
Noka dorê t'ke b'heftî û pênc a ye ... noka se'rî haftî û pênc o... hesbînin ... zirar e... Right now it's around seventy-five... now the price is seventy-five... calculate it... it's a loss...
lê salin han e dinya dadiket pêncî dolara çêlpênc dolara.. wa ew qit' ... but there are years when it dropped to fifty dollars, forty- five dollars... and those...
Alemê tûp avêt ... yanî pir k'ji wa .. v'ecara ji qehrî xwara çûn darê xwa li ber se kirin.. qit kirin... People gave up... I mean many of them... this time out of anger they went and cut down their trees... they chopped them...
ji qahra ra o xêre dibê mûsim ne... yanî kulfk rî wan... î tiştî dinê biçîne ... out of anger, and well, there was no harvest... I mean it cost them... to plant something else...
ser k'ji wa tiştî din... çan... îna patoze v'dero mesela b'dêr tene biçîne... zeytûn xalikirin gişte tê ne biçîne... so they could plant other things... they planted... brought a tractor there for example just to plant seeds... they emptied the olives completely to plant something else...
se kirin hîj zirar tir bû xêre cefaf ... cefaf te baran ne bû te rahmet ne bû.. they saw it was even more of a loss, well, because of the drought... drought, there was no rain, there was no mercy...
Xalo niha em kê çîşk a cem xeltîkê Em Rênas ... Uncle, now we will go for a bit to Aunt Um Renas...
J'me re kê çîşkî zeytûnê hawîl de, çend new' zeytûn çê dikê? Could you tell us a bit about the olives you have around, how many types of olives do you make?
Ê şikandî, ê m'keles, ê m'keles qel d'kin ... The cracked ones, the ones in lime, the ones in lime we fry...
tev ... qel d'kin tev ze'terê û mesela gûz o behîva d'kin... with... we fry them with thyme and for example we put walnuts and almonds...
û başqa jî wek mekdûs çêdibe, hey tê nçêdibe, zeytûnê d'...reş t'd'cerhîne wek ... and besides that, it can be made like makdous, or else it won't work, the olives... the black ones you slice them like...
te wê jî başqe çêdekî... mşaela... you make that one differently too... Mashallah...
Tu wena qet çêdakî? Do you make those at all?
E! Yes!
Belê ... hîsal em bên wekî salê berê t'çêdekî? Çunkî em zanin zeytûn hîndik in, û han... Yes... this year, are you making it like the previous years? Because we know olives are scarce, and...
Na elhemdulellah .. em xwa av d'kin d'dabirînin heye. No, praise be to God... we water ours, we manage, there are some.
Naha zeytûnê ... şikandî em bêjin ê zeytî pê av d'kin, em kê wan zeytûnan xelû wan d'kin çawa? Now the olives... the cracked ones, let's say the ones you add oil to, how do we hollow out those olives?
Ê na tu ti m'keles çê de kê ... avî o te nifs.. ji wê ... tu ew d'ke t'hene jê derdxî... Well no, if you make the ones in lime... you water it and you half... from that... you do that, you take the pits out...
te thene derxist t'şêrîn de kî.. wek mekdûs, t'd'çîçk dehaşîne ... gûstîlkê qel dekî wek gistilk t'qel de ke once you take the pits out you sweeten it... like makdous, you stuff it with a little bit... you fry it like a ring, you fry it like a ring.
başqe... t'tav ze'terê... tev limûn e der û çêde kî... differently... you put thyme... with lemon and you make it...
Xeltîk ez kê pirs kê ji te pirs kim. Auntie, let me ask you a question.
Pir jin ha ne zeytûnê d'girin dibe zeytûna me na gîne nizame me çandiye d'be xera dibe. Ev a ji xwe da ye? Many women say they pickle olives but our olives don't mature, I don't know what we planted, they say it gets ruined. Is this from the salt?
T'ke vê me'lûmetî j'me re.. xweye cabî lê ... ê ... Give us this information... is it the salt... yeah...
D'kîne xera d'be? Does it get ruined?
Na xera nabe... xwêyê xwa kê... No, it doesn't get ruined... just add salt...
Xwêyê xwa zêde d'kin û tiştek nabe. Em kemiye pirr çê d'kim ji... They add a lot of salt and nothing happens. We make a large quantity too...
Ew bermîlên mezin ta ava d'kirim? Did you fill those big barrels?
E bermîlên mezin t'ava d'kim... Yes, I fill the big barrels...
Maşaallah! Mashallah!
Û p'tar hat' o me çend ê dara? Hato berî ve min giwez anîn.. And more came, how many trees do we have? Even before this I brought walnuts...
Hato v'ho bînî? You even saw this?
Ê, heta duw o pîr... heta duw o pîr ... noka... Yes, up to two old ones... up to two old ones... now...
Em werin dîsa cem xalo... xalo te noka ji me re ... Let's come back to uncle... uncle, just now you...
te b'kurtasî dang kir li ser meselê çil cem av heye çi tin e te gu darê hanar o heye t'gu zeytûn haye.. te xweze ji me re hawê dibîn. you briefly talked about the issue of what water you have and what you don't, you said there are pomegranate trees, you said there are olives... tell us how you see it.
Xorze ... erdê deştê han e na tin ene... Nephew... there isn't much flat land here...
yanî b'xwa xaner ...ya j'k'xwa çiyayî ye pîçek deşt e... ta gûlê min ne... I mean naturally it's mountainous... it's naturally mountainous, there's a little bit of flat land... let me tell you...
e gî tiştî diçînin... genim .. genim diçînin, cê d'çînin, nîsko d'çînin, nûko deçînin.. boxça dekin.. yanî har tişte k'dibe... and they plant everything... wheat... they plant wheat, they plant barley, they plant lentils, they plant chickpeas... they make gardens... I mean everything is possible...
Noka pirsik m'din heye... ez j'xeltîkê ser zeytûnê pirsek xera d'be eke pirsik de pirs kem darin gûnda d'bên em darin gûnda Now I have another question... I will ask auntie a question about olives getting ruined, if I ask a question they say in the villages we go to the villages
em de bê e na nav zeytûn o da dexil deçînin.. t'dibînî av tişto d'rûkî... zeytûno... and they say we plant crops among the olives... do you see this directly... to the olives...
zirar e .. it's harmful..
çima... why...
zirar e te'sîrê gûlê mine.. te war e... ber ê dar xêre baran kêm e. it's harmful, it has an effect, let me tell you.. you come... to the tree, well the rain is scarce.
û t'vê... nav diçînê ev baran o evî televîzonê k'da darê ew zira'et o ye k'b'kşîne... and you... plant inside it, this rain, this television that hits the tree, that crop will absorb it...
dar kîfayê xwa navê... û jixwa ber e jî baran tine ye.. û hawe cawe jî ne we cawî.. the tree won't get its sufficiency... and anyway there is no rain before that... and the weather is not like it used to be..
saq e.. noko saq e dewr k'ma kin ne.. ji erd ro.. saqo sol ê dewe saqo b'lame kirm k'er ba çê neba.. it's the frost... now the frost has played a big role... from the ground... the frost of the year, the frost at least prevents the worms from appearing...
e hev tişto kêm biyo e hawe barf e na na man.. berê bare ve çona berfê lê d'kir.. and these things have decreased, there is no more snow... before this it used to snow...
sibhan Allah hata wextek e domo.. e noka eva tişt o kêm d'biyê praise be to God, it lasted until a certain time... but now these things have decreased
ji xêra ew ji des Rebî Alemîne e awamîl minax cawe xawetî xerab din zêber we... well, that is in the hands of the Lord of the Worlds, the climate factors, the weather naturally changing is because of that...

Belê. Niha jî em hatin cihekî cara yekem e ku em li gundan rastî tiştekî wisa dibin. Yes. Now we have come to a place where, for the first time, we come across something like this in the villages.
Wekî hûn dizanin gund cihekî biçûk e, xizmetên tê da kêm in. As you know, a village is a small place, and the services there are lacking.
Em hatin cihekî; navendeke civakî li vî derê heye. We came to a place; there is a social center here.
Yanî markez reaye micetmeiye em bibêjin. I mean, a social care center, let's say.
Ji jinan ra ne, ji qeçikan ra ne. Kesên mezin ra. It is for women, for girls. For older people.
Weke hedîqeyek li vî derê (baxçeyek çêkirine) ji bo ku zarok li vî derê bilîzin. Like a park here (they have made a garden) so that children can play here.
Her wiha. Niha mêvanek me heye, xwediya vê fikrê ya ku ev mubadere kiriye, em ê derbasî cem wê bibin, kerem bikin. Likewise. Now we have a guest, the owner of this idea who made this initiative, we will go over to her, please.
Ehlan we sehlan. Welcome.
Merheba mamosta Ciwan. Hello, teacher Ciwan.
Ehlan we sehlan... xwişka Ciwan e. Kerem ke. Ehlan we sehlan. Welcome... sister Ciwan. Please. Welcome.
Ez hatim dema ku ez di vir re derbas bûm... Ez piçekî ecêb mam. When I came passing through here... I was a little surprised.
Cara yekem ez tiştekî wisa li gund dibînim. For the first time I see something like this in a village.
Destpêkê em dixwazin navê te bizanibin. First, we want to know your name.
Ez, navê min Ciwan e. Xortekî ji xortên xelnêrê me. Belê. I, my name is Ciwan. I am a youth from the youths of Xelnêr. Yes.
Bi navê dibêjin li wî Mihemedî Nasihî ve... Hebo Riyat. They call him Mihemed Nasih... Hebo Riyat.
Bi xwedê berî vê, munazeme ku hat cem gund... Gund em bi tiştekî ji vî gundî ra bi pêş de bibînin. By God, before this, when the organization came to the village... We should see the village move forward with something.
Çi weke em e çi ne kemet, ti zanê xizmet ne ma, te dewlet ware xizmetê ma bi kî? What like we are what not doing, you know there is no service left, if the state doesn't bring service, who will?
Ne korî xadamî we, ne ji korî gundan. Neither service work, nor village work.
Minazema hat cem me, got em dixwazin kesî ji gund, yanî marat kar bikin. The organization came to us, they said we want someone from the village, I mean women to work.
Ev kornam me din, em tişkî bûyan di yanî... minazema jı Almanya dî. They gave us this work, we did something... the organization was from Germany.
E am pera bîn ez wü... dü şabeb de xortin den jı qend mırabîn. We got together, me and... two youths, young men from the village, were selected.
Am ketın karê jınan. Mak çemkî diya davam kır, te dırebata maberin, te teqrîben hayş moha madam kır... We got into women's work. We continued with our mother, they brought trainers, for about eight months we continued...
Te zonî karê mınazamatuj çiye nı hatta nîge tıştıkı te dın, tı kî jı qendiya ro kar bıki. Haa rî... You know what the organization's work is now until they give you something, you have to work with the villagers. Yes...
Ema afkâr pır ragırın ma afkâr xa demî ragırın jı ma... But they collected many ideas, they collected service ideas from us...
...rıne konin bı qed mondıne gu êma xıtisasın mader heya yanî, tolî ya jamo vedı odeno hebîn. Hm. ...sit and talk about staying, they say we have specialists here, finally all those rooms were there. Hm.
Hafdo odeno ji zeda xırap bın, qafın. Fırqafın ye ni... Dozbikê do bari gamakatab jama çêbe hafdo u deno ey gundan. La vıdarê dıxwen... Those rooms were very ruined, they were collapsing. They were really collapsing... Initially, before the school was built for us, those rooms were of this village. They studied here...
Qicqid mektebe, gicgit gundan haat lı vıdarı e... xondınıxo dıkrın. The children of the school, the children of the village came here... to study.
Hava bariva çığos solam bıjen? How many years ago would we say this was?
Hava teqriben barıve be... nıjıkı bis sala. This was probably before... about twenty years ago.
Pıstı ve... After that...
Makteba jama çêbi havo hono xraba man ala halo man. Belî. The school was built for us, those ruined ones stayed in that state. Yes.
Mahwat fıkra da gındıyo magot nociki mesela teda ve mılato... We brought the idea to the villagers, we said to a place, for example, for this nation...
Laha frine tedo koriki bıkın... îştıma tı do çebikın masalan mıxtar bi wela mılati gündı be... To sit here, to do some work... they can have a meeting, for example, the muhtar or the villagers...
Hoatın dirasa kırım, xuli yejî... mara mo faqa qırın. Ü zeda bin mago e ne we kışkını me, te mi dı bezin sar ri dlizin. They came and studied it, finally... they agreed with us. And there were more, they said these kids of ours, they run and play on the road.
Na v gundo balo dıbın. Go am çicekın cuare magon... They spread around the village. They said what should we do...
No xadıkoke cemara çukı çeken, gıray gündı miji çuke yani na waqa yamza na. Bale. Make a small park for us, the village center is small, not like big ones. Yes.
El mühim cemar e... hilqnuhonin ew acıtnocemaranindinon cmro yani arzicekırın. The important thing is for us... these empty spaces, these things they brought for us, they prepared the ground.
O alhamdülillah yani eştım. Amkanıbe bijen... da r vı tıstî dar va hove zaro qono zo rqutê lı dıderedı lizin. Îçışî jin tıda kum dı bın ... Mer tdokum dibın. Bale. Jın b gı mır b qı mivon nımı garip warin... yanî jı dorno werım maselan, amqinı lıfıdere istıqbal bıkın. And thank God, I mean we succeeded. We can say... going out, passing through these things, these children play here. And also women gather here... Men gather here. Yes. Women and men and guests from outside... I mean, when they come from outside, for example, we can welcome them here.
wekî gundekî munazam e yan mînak wekî dewletekê ye. Em karin bibêjin, kesek ji derve hat, wî pêşwazî dikin û muqadem e di tiştî teb'en. It is like an organized village, or, for example, a state. We can say that when someone from outside comes, they welcome him. And it's presented with respect, of course.
Naha berî vê derê çêbe, ti cih tunebû em bibêjin kesekî ji derve hat û gundiyan ew têda pêşwazî kirin? Xeynî malên wan... Now, before this place was built, was there no place where we could say someone from outside came and the villagers welcomed him there? Other than their homes...
Em diçûn, na, malên gund, em diçûn cem malên muxtêr. We would go... no, the village homes, we would go to the mukhtar's house.
Ê piştî ev cih çêbûye? And after this place was built?
Yanê fêdeyeke gund gelek e. I mean, its benefit for the village is great.
Û naha, mesela, herû berê... yanê qeçek gundekî din derdiketin. Xwedê dizanibû, kî ne. Acab li vê çiyê ne? Acab li vê geliyê ne? Acab li ser rêkan e? And now, for example, previously... I mean, kids would go out to another village. God knows who they were. Are they on this mountain? Are they in this valley? Are they on the roads?
Naha, gava qeçek winda bû, xelas, zanin li vir e. Zanin... el-hedîqeyê, hêlkê de rûniştî ye. Now, when a kid goes missing, that's it, they know he is here. They know... at the park, sitting on the swing.
Yanê ev tişt jî... zanî pir xweş e. I mean, this is also... you know, very nice.
Berî ku ez bêjim 'saeta te xweş'... Before I say "good job"...
Ya te jî xweş... Yours too...
Fikreke heta destpêkê te ye û ekîd bi alîkariya xelkê gund... It is initially your idea, and certainly with the help of the village people...
Teb'en ji alîkarê malbata min jî... hene... min ra bûn alîkar... û gundî... Of course, from the help of my family too... there are... they helped me... and the villagers...
Tiştê di... an jî te fikrek ji xwe re zêde kiriye ku tu di her gundî de ev tişt çêbe... The other thing... or you have added an idea for yourself that this thing should be built in every village...
Îro çi qas qeçek, em dibînin... hawadîs pir çêdibin. Xasen di wez'a em têra derbas dibin, xetif dibin, winda dibin... yanê pir tişt çêbûn. Today, how many children, we see... many incidents occur. Especially in the situation we are going through, they get kidnapped, they get lost... I mean, many things happen.
Lê wexta cihkî wiha jî hebe, em têra bibêjin ew qeçek wê herin wê derê. But when there is a place like this, we can say that those children will go there.
Saeta we xweş... Good job...
Ya te jî xweş... Ser çavan... Ser çavan tu hatî. Ehlen we sehlen... ji qenala Walat TV re... You too... You are welcome... You are welcome here. Welcome... to Walat TV channel...

Temaşevanên me, naha jî em li cem xalê Emîn in. Xalê Emîn, em ê xwestek û armanca gund e. Our viewers, right now we are with uncle Emin. Uncle Emin, we wanted the village's purpose.
Destpêkê me go, em ê bizanibin dîroka gundê Xelnêrê, ji ku derê hatiye. Wek we dizanin... tiştê sereke ku em naha li gund, em dixwazin bizanibin, dîroka wî gundî ye. At first we said, we will know the history of Xelnere village, where it came from. As you know... the main thing we are now in the village, we want to know the history of that village.
Kengî ava bûye û tiştên wiha. Lê em wextê em hatin cem gund, me dît ku navî gund, navekî mazîn e. Ne tenê dîrok e, zanî? Lê gelek xizmetên wî jî hene. When was it built and things like that. But when we came to the village, we saw that the name of the village is a great name. It is not just history, you know? But it also has many services.
Gelek kar ji bo xelkê vê gundî kiriye û ji bo xelkê Efrînê kiriye. Merheba xalê Emîn. He has done a lot of work for the people of this village and for the people of Afrin. Hello Uncle Emin.
Ehlen û sehlen. Bi xêr hatine... Ena ji qenala Walat TV re dibêjim, mêvanê gundê me ne. Gundê Xelnêrê. Bi xêr û selamet hatine cem me. Welcome. Welcome... I say to the Walat TV channel, you are guests of our village. Xelnere village. Welcome to us with safety.
Ser çavan mam. Ser çavan. Naha bi navî te... You are welcome, uncle. You are welcome. Now with your name...
Emîn. Ez dixwazim tu navî xwe bi kamerê re bêje. Emin. I want you to say your name to the camera.
Navî min Emîn e, dibêjin Emînê Mihemedê Bekoyê... Ji gundê Xelnêrê me... My name is Emin, they call me Emin of Mihemed of Beko... I am from Xelnere village...
Xortek ji xortên Efrînê me û ji gundê Xelnêrê me... Êh Efrînî me, bes esasê min gundê Xelnêrê ye. A young man from the young men of Afrin and from Xelnere village... Uh, I am from Afrin, but my origin is Xelnere village.
Destpêkê... navê Xelnêrê ji ku derê hatiye? At first... where did the name Xelnere come from?
Xelnêr, gundek ji gundê Çiyayê Kurmênc e... derdora Efrînê. Heft kîlometre ji Efrînê dûr e. Xelner, a village from the villages of Kurd Dagh... around Afrin. It is seven kilometers away from Afrin.
Bakurê me gundê Çûqê ye. Rojavayê me Maratê ye. Rojhilatê me Keferşîlê ye. Û deşta Maratê, deşta Cûmê heta va... yanê hawîrdora vê herêma me ye. To our north is the village of Çûqê. To our west is Maratê. To our east is Keferşîlê. And the plain of Maratê, the plain of Cûmê up to this... I mean, the surroundings of this region of ours.
Xelnêr, bi xwe gundekî pir kevin e. Yanê kesî bi rastî nizane dîroka wî gundî çend sal in, mirov li wî gundî de dijîn. Xelner itself is a very old village. I mean, no one really knows the history of that village, how many years people have lived in that village.
Tine. Xêre sebaba wê heye. Ji ber ku berê nivîs nedibû. Nifûs nedibû. Û kes nizane bi rastî, çend sal in em li wî gundî da dijîn. None. Yes, there is a reason for it. Because there was no writing before. There was no registry. And no one really knows how many years we have lived in that village.
Em ji kalên xwe da zanin, emrê wî gundî li ser çar sed sal e. Ev gund berê ya pir tine bûn. Gelek şikeft bûn. We know from our ancestors, the age of that village is over four hundred years. This village used to not have many houses. It had many caves.
Me dît... We saw...
Jiyan di şikeftan da dibû. Life used to be in caves.
Bizanibe... ku ev gund gelekî kavinar e û ne şikeftek e, ne dudu ye. Heştê şikeft li cem vî gundî hene. Know... that this village is very ancient and not one cave, not two. There are eighty caves near this village.
Heştê şikeft, her şikeftek navê xwe hene. Teba navêt gundiyan e. Wek ku te zanî... berê min pêşda anî kirin. Her şikeftkî jî navê xwe hene. Eighty caves, each cave has its own name. Nature of the villagers' names. As you know... I brought it up before. Each cave also has its own name.
Dewêrî xwe têda ew dikirin, têda dijiyan jî, têda karên xwe jî dikirin. Meqbaz jî hebûn. Ji derdorê dihatin gundê me. Zeytûnên xwe di meqbazê de ava dikirin. They used to keep their livestock in them, they lived in them too, they also did their work in them. There were also olive presses. They used to come to our village from the surroundings. They pressed their olives in the press.
Û Xelnêr bi xwe, yanê navê Xelnêr dibêjin, ji Xelîl hatiye. And Xelner itself, I mean the name Xelner, they say it comes from Xelîl.
Xelîl... Xelîl...
Xelîl şivanek bû. Şivanek bû... Pezê xwe diçêrand li va çiyana... Xelil was a shepherd. He was a shepherd... He grazed his sheep in these mountains...
Berfê lê kir... hindik bûyê... rênka xwe şaş kir. Berf bû, nikaribû vegere gund, yanê cem xaniyê xwe. Nikaribû vegere, hat vê derê şikeft dît. It snowed... it was a little... he lost his way. It was snowing, he couldn't return to the village, I mean to his house. He couldn't return, he came here and found a cave.
Şikeft dîtin... dawe re xwe kir şikeftan. Ket şikeftan... û berê dar tunebûn, yanê heta zeytûn, yanê emrê zeytûnê li gundê me ji sed salî û vir de ye. He saw caves... he put his livestock in the caves. He entered the caves... and before there were no trees, I mean even olives, I mean the age of olives in our village is from a hundred years ago and onward.
Berê tenê, berî wê, kelem û dar bûn. Xwedan pez bûn. Êh... ew Xelîl hat, ket şikeftan, pezê xwe kir şikeftan, himayet kir. Before, only before that, it was bushes and trees. They were sheep owners. Uh... that Xelil came, entered the caves, put his sheep in the caves, protected them.
Kelem qut dikirin... dida ber pez... berê xêr û bêr pir bû... berf pir dikir. Rê qut dibûn, nikaribû biçe... kelem qut dikir... dida... They cut bushes... gave it to the sheep... before there was a lot of blessing... it snowed a lot. Roads were cut off, he couldn't go... he cut bushes... gave...
Dida wê dawe re... dorê xwe jî ar jê dikir, xwe germ dikir, tê de, yanê heyatî xwe jê derbas dikir. Gave it to the livestock... he lit a fire around himself, warmed himself, in it, I mean he spent his life in it.
Ê, xwedaniyê wî lê geriyan. Xwedaniyê wî lê geriyan, ba'dî berf, piştî çend kî... heliya û derbû... rênka vebûn, se kirin, dûk ji wê geliyê bi xwe... Xelnêr li vir... Yes, his owners looked for him. His owners looked for him, after the snow, after a few days... it melted and ended... the paths opened, they looked, smoke from that valley itself... Xelnere is here...
orda çiyê... gelî de ye... dîtin. ...in the mountain... in a valley... they saw it.
Dûk radibe. Dûk rabû, çûn pey wî dûyî. Sa kirin, Xelîl e. Smoke rises. Smoke rose, they followed that smoke. They looked, it is Xelil.
Xelîl te mêr î... Xelîl te mêr î... Xalê mêr... xal mêr, bû Xelnêr. Xelil you are a man... Xelil you are a man... Brave uncle... brave uncle, became Xelner.
Xal mêr... Brave uncle...
Xal mêr e, dibêjin Xelîl te mêr î... te haqa roh li vê derê, bi tenê, di nav wan şikeftana da. Uncle is a man, they say Xelil you are a man... you have a right to the soul here, alone, in those caves.
Xal mêr bû, bû Xelnêr. Û ev nav esasê wî gundî, ji navê Xelîl da hatiye. Vî gundî me... Uncle was a man, became Xelner. And this name of the origin of that village, came from the name of Xelil. This village of ours...
Naha wekî em dîrokê da ev tişt nehatibû nivîsandin. Em bibêjin, ji kîjan gundî hatî ev gundî... Now, as we say, this thing was not written in history. Let's say, from which village did this villager come from...
Xelîl... naha min got şivanek bû. Di dîrokê da nehatibû nivîskirin, ji kû derê hatiye. Berê sînok tunebûn. Beli sînok tunebûn. Xelil... now I said he was a shepherd. It was not written in history, where he came from. Before there were no borders. Yes, there were no borders.
Lê em xwedê zanin, nezanin, em wekî em dibîsin... em li kal- pîrên me di, çar sed sal de, ev gund navê Xelnêr e. But God knows, we don't know, as we hear... from our ancestors, for four hundred years, this village is named Xelnere.
Em karin bibêjin ku muessesê vê... vê gundê te'sîs kirî Xelîl bû? Can we say that the founder of this... the one who founded this village was Xelil?
Xelîl bû, yanê ew Xelîl bû. Şterê dîroka gundan... heval da, Xelîl e, Xal Mêr e, bûye Xelnêr û pir kûşan de hatiye. It was Xelil, I mean it was Xelil. Tracing the history of villages... among friends, it's Xelil, Brave Uncle, became Xelner and came to many ears.
Dikarî navê... di vana malbatên sereke destpêkê te jimaran hewldî? Malbat, em bêjin, aîla? Can you name... can you try to count the main families at the beginning? Families, let's say, households?
E... malbat... bi xwedê, gundî malbat pir in. Malbat... malbatên destpêkê yan ewna pê pir ev ne... Uh... families... by God, there are many families in the village. Families... the initial families or those are not very...
Destpêkê bi xwe, gundê me da Malê Elkê hebûn, Malê Ebdîn E'sê hebûn... ew na, yanê ji pişt re, eşîret bûn... In the beginning, in our village there were Elkey's House, Ebdin E'sey's House... no, I mean later, they were tribes...
Eşîret çêbûn. Eşîreta Çeqeliyê li gundê me çêbûye. Eşîreta Çeqeliyê jî gelek malbat tê de hene. Tribes were formed. The Çeqelî tribe was formed in our village. There are many families in the Çeqelî tribe too.
Nêzîkî bîst malbatan tê de hene. Yanê em nizabin navnana bîr bikin, mehnem ev nekin... yanê Malê Çeqeliyê de... yanê malbat tê de nêzîkî bîst malbatan tê de hebûn. There are nearly twenty families in it. I mean, we might not remember the names, it doesn't mean we don't do this... I mean, in the Çeqelî's house... I mean, there were nearly twenty families in it.
Malbatên din jî hebûn. Û ev tiştan gundê... ew tişta... gundan gundan hev re ye. Ji gundekî din hatine li vî gundî rûniştine. There were other families too. And these things of the village... that thing... from villages to villages are together. They came from another village and settled in this village.
Yanê hatin li vî gundî rûniştin. Yanê cem me sê çar mal, Malê Qûqê hene, Malê Seydek hene, Malê Mehmê hebûn... evna gişt... yanê ji derveyî gund, hatine vê gundî rûniştine. I mean they came and settled in this village. I mean we have three or four families, Quqe's House, Seydek's House, Mehme's House were there... all of these... I mean from outside the village, they came and settled in this village.
Û teqrîben nêzîkî sed salî ye li vî gundî rûniştine. Bes esasê xwe, ne ji gund in. And it has been nearly a hundred years that they have settled in this village. But their origin is not from the village.
Ji derve gundên din, hatine. Vê tiştî ne bes li gundê me heye. Li gundên din jî her tiştî we heye, evna... They came from outside other villages. This thing is not only in our village. In other villages too there is everything, this...
Hene, ji gundin... ji xwe, ne ji gund in. Gundiyan jî tev hev re rûniştin, yanê û civak bi hev re çêkirine... yanê... There are, from villages... themselves, are not from the village. The villagers also sat together, I mean and they formed a society together... I mean...
Û wekî gund... jiyana xwe derbas... em ez birêve dertînin. And like a village... they pass their life... we pass it by managing.
Naha me tîşkî me evî em dibêjin, me zanînavê ji ku derê hatiye, çiqas salê ne tê de bû. Û mirovên di destpêkê de kî bûn, em tîşkî herin xwendevanê duyem. Now our ray this we say, we knew the name where it came from, how many years it was in it. And who were the people in the beginning, let's go a bit to the second stage.
Em dixwazin pirr li ser xwendavanana dengin. We want to talk more about the students.
Te dît xwaliyê min di her quncê ku xwendin esas e, xwendavanên me em bi pêş kevin. You saw my uncle, in every corner reading is essential, for our students to progress.
Em dixwazin werin bi ser vê xalê jî dengin. We want to come and talk about this point as well.
Mekteb destpêkê li gundî we heye lê tinne ye û kengî ava bûye eger heye? Is there a school initially in your village or not, and when was it built if there is?
Mekteb di gund de mekteb hene, yek a kevin heye destpêkê da ew hatibû çêkirin di gund de. Schools, there are schools in the village, there is an old one, initially that was built in the village.
Gundê me bima eno 7 km ji Efrînê wê dûr e... Since our village is 7 km away from Afrin...
Yani xelkê gund pir, yani ciwanê xwe li Efrînê derbas kirin, li gund pir derbas nekirin. I mean, many village people, I mean they spent their youth in Afrin, they didn't spend much in the village.
Pê risqê xwe ketin, pê xwendinê ketin, e nav mektebê li vir çûçik e wile. They went after their livelihood, they went after education, the school here is small by god.
Mamoste kêm in, xizmet gund da berê ne wekî bajara bûye. Teachers are few, services in the village before weren't like the cities.
Milet ji gund bar kir ê pir çû gund yani di gund de sedî bîst man. People moved from the village, most left the village, I mean 20% stayed in the village.
Sedî heştê ket bajarê mezin, ket Efrîn û Heleb û Şamê û wisa çûn. 80% went to big cities, went to Afrin, Aleppo, and Damascus and went like that.
Ê xwendavan di gund da cema xwendavan hene... As for students in the village, there is a group of students...
Pijîşk jî hene, doxtor jî hene, muhendis jî hene û hiqûqî jî hene, mihemî jî hene. There are physicians, there are doctors, there are engineers, there are also legal experts, there are lawyers.
Xwedanê şihadên din jî yani meahid jî hene. There are also holders of other certificates, I mean there are institutes too.
Yani di nêzîkî şihadên... nav şihadên camîî li gundê Xelnêrê, ez bi xwe karikî wisa rabûbûm niha... I mean close to certificates... among university certificates in Khalnera village, I myself had started such a work but now...
Bes min xilas nekiribû karê ihsaî ji xwendavanê gundê Xelnêrê da... I just hadn't finished the statistical work for students of Khalnera village...
Niha haliyen me ragihandibû 100 şihade. Right now currently we had reached 100 certificates.
Maşallah. Ev nav cîlê ecêr ne an li ê kevin ne? Mashallah. Is this among the new generation or the old?
Di cîlî kevin de ji roja ewil yek dest pê xwendinê kiriye şihade girtiye heta rojê îro. In the old generation from the first day one started studying and got a certificate until today.
Pirsik min din heye. Siyasetmedar di gund da hene? I have another question. Are there politicians in the village?
Siyasetmedar ne tinin li gund. There are no politicians in the village.
Em werin te çere heqûqî kirin em bêjin muhamiyê kevin... Let's come to how you mentioned legal experts, let's say old lawyers...
Na cîlî muhamî cîlî gund giş ji 2000'î û vir de ye, salên 2000'î û vir de ye, berî wê tinne bû. No, the generation of lawyers, the generation of the whole village is from 2000 onwards, the 2000s onwards, there wasn't any before that.
Doxtor salên... hene doxtor mezin gund hene. Doctors in the years... there are older doctors in the village.
Wekê kî? Like who?
Doxtor Asmihan heye, Asmihan Qoşo, doxtora heye... There is Doctor Asmihan, Asmihan Qosho, there is a doctor...
Di gund de... nêzîk da doxtor Hûriye heye, Ehmed heye doxtor... doxtorî dirana ye... In the village... nearby there is Doctor Huriya, Ahmed, doctor... a dentist...
Hene yani min liasif nav jî yani min ihsa nekirine... hene yani... There are, I mean unfortunately I also haven't counted the names... there are I mean...
Xalnêr teb'en bi darê xwe, bi zeytûnê xwe meşhûr e, bi şiketê xwe meşhûr e. Khalner, of course, is famous for its trees, its olives, it's famous for its companies.
Bizane... bi rûlaqê xwe malbata bi Hadira meşhûr e, bi alîkariya bi hev ra dikin meşhûr in. You know... with its connections, the Hadira family is famous, they are famous for the help they give each other.
Niha pir di gund da bi me dimîne. Now a lot remains with us in the village.
Çi bi me dimîne? Îro dawetek li gund çê bibe, ana xelat heye em darîn pir dawetan... What remains with us? Today if a wedding happens in the village, now there is a flaw, we see many weddings...
Em hesab diki di nav gund de wekî nîvana rûniştî, gund na wisa ye. We think it's like sitting among guests in the village, the village isn't like that.
Şînî gund, miriyê zêvek be wele ne miriyê zêvek be, ew ê kê alîkar bike. Mourning in the village, whether the dead is from a lodge or not from a lodge, who will help?
Ew ê kê alîkar bike, ew ê kê xizmet bike... Who will help, who will serve...
Gava dawetek be, mirîyek be xwediyê mirî karekî nakin. When there is a wedding, or a dead person, the family of the dead don't do any work.
Şînê gund giş radibe wê karê radibe, wê karî giş xizmetkirin e, xizmetkirinê nîvana pê radibin. The whole mourning of the village stands up, they do that work, all that work is serving, they stand up to serve the guests.
Niha li gund edetek din gund li vir heye rojê cejnê sibeha cejnê li ser tirba... Now in the village, there is another tradition in the village here, the day of Eid, the morning of Eid on the graves...
Li ser tirban aw tiştên di gundan... belkî li gundê mantiqê me... On the graves, those things in the villages... maybe in the villages of our region...
Gundî me û belkî gundek didu din hebin... Our village and maybe there are one or two other villages...
Sibe zû em zanin çûnê li ser tirban millet dihere li ser tirban berî giya... Early morning we know going to the graves, people go to the graves, before grass...
Ji miriyên xwe re dixwîne ku tiştek, diyafek xwa bi xwa re biribe bela dike û milet radibe makînê xwe dadine û tê mal. They read for their dead, if they brought something, some treat with them, they distribute it and people stand up, park their cars and come home.
Gundî me na wisa ye. Our village is not like that.
Çawa ye? How is it?
Gundî me ew karî xwe xilas kir xwendinê xwa xwend li ser mirîyê xwe dua kir li ber serî miriyê xwe rûdinê. Our village, when they finish their work, read their reading over their dead, pray, they sit at the head of their dead.
Diyafê xwa bela dike radibe, cema saf çêdibin. Gund giş tê cejna xwe li hev ra dikin. They distribute their treat, stand up, the group forms a line. The whole village comes and they celebrate Eid with each other.
Giştik. Everyone.
Giştik, çi hatî ser tirba mêr e, herin safekî çêdikin. Rûspiyê me berî giya disekinin. Û heryekî karî xwe xilas kir li ser tirba.. Everyone, whatever man has come to the graves, they go form a line. Our elders stand before the grass. And whoever finishes their work on the grave..
Tê werin di safê yek yek silavê pê din, tê û di kêlekê de disekine. Saf xelekek mezin li ser tirba ji gund çê dibe. Come join the line, greet them one by one, come and stand on the side. A large ring line forms on the graves from the village.
Heta ku ez xaz zanim nizanim, ev tişta heye... As long as I want to know, I don't know, this thing exists...
Û heta roje tê salên tê îdan qut nebûye. And until the coming days, coming years, Eids, it hasn't been cut off.
Na lixwe nebûye. Tim heye. No, it hasn't been cancelled. It's always there.
Bes bû îd millet li ser tirba kom bûn wek safî mirîya çawa çêdibin di îdê, ev tişt jî çêdibe. Just when it's Eid, people gather on the graves, like how the mourning lines are formed in Eid, this thing happens too.
Ew tişta em çûçik bûn... min dixwest em herin ser tirba, vîşê min dtî bi vî tiştî. That thing when we were kids... I wanted us to go to the graves, I liked this thing.
Em herin têkevin wê safê. Let's go join that line.
Spasîya te dikim xalo. I thank you uncle.
Ser çava xwaş, sipasê te mezin jî mamosta. You're welcome, big thanks to you too teacher.

Belê temaşevên hêja, em karin bibêjin ku niha em gihîştin dawiya xeleka îro ji gundê Xelnêrê. Yes, dear viewers, we can say that now we have reached the end of today's episode from the village of Khalnera.
Me qeder di gund na hîştin, em çûn nav zeytûna, em çûn nav rez, em çûn nav henara, em çûn gelek mal. We didn't leave destiny in the village, we went among the olives, we went among the vineyards, we went among the pomegranates, we went to many homes.
Me xelk li vê derê nas kir û her weha li talî me xwest em xîtama xwe li vê derê bibin. We met the people here and also at the end we wanted to conclude here.
Hûn ê ji min re bibêjin li vê derê çiye? Niha ti bibînî li vê derê bîr heye, ev ji bîrên kevnar û yên turasî yên vê gundî ne. You will ask me what is here? Now you see there is a well here, this is from the ancient and heritage wells of this village.
Wêlo me xwest xatirê xwe ji vê derê ji we bixwazin, li bendî me bimînin bi xelekên nû û ji gundên din. So we wanted to say goodbye to you from here, wait for us with new episodes and from other villages.
