Me paşê giş li nav hev dixist, dîsa bi makînê. Then we mixed it all together, again with the machine.
Û me hana çêkir. And we made it like that.
Gelekî spas. Many thanks.
Yanî dema mêvanekî me ra were, gerek bêpirs me ra ji yê ra xwarinê dînin, ne? So when a guest comes to us, we must bring them food without asking, right?
Ev jî adetek me yê kevn e. This is also an old custom of ours.
Ê le? Erê. Mêvan nako bê, belki ew mêvan nako bê, hekî çi bixwe, teke jê ra dînin sifra berî gyo. Yes of course? Yes. A guest doesn't come... maybe that guest won't come [often], whatever they eat, you must lay the table before them.
Xwarinê ku jê re çêke. Cook food for them.
Na, ew tişto hîne heye? Wek berê... Naha berê mêvanek bhata, bê pirs xwarin jê ra dihat. No, does that thing still exist? Like before... Before if a guest came, food came to them without asking.
Cem me heye. Heta noka heye. We have it. Until now it exists.
Heta noka heye? Until now it exists?
Erê cem me heye, heye. Yes we have it, it exists.
Yanî gerek mêvanek li mera bi mêvan... Meaning if a guest is a guest to us...
Erê. Yes.
Gerek tu jê ra xwarinê dînin. You must bring food for them.
Ê le berî giya xwarinê. Ku ew mêvanê îşê xwe acele yî, ke herre, birçî herre nabe, teke jê re berî giya sofrê gîndolînin. Of course, food before everything. If that guest is in a hurry, wants to go, they can't go hungry, you must roll out the table before them first.
Havo berî giya ye. That is before everything.
Ê destê te. Yes, [bless] your hand.
Em spasî we dikin. We thank you.
Ew jî spas. Thanks to you too.
Xwedê kêmî me siwe ne de. May God not lessen you from us (keep you with us).
Dest xweş. Health to your hands.
Ê bi xêr û selamet hatin, ax û welat, em pîroz dikin, jibo vê roja we. Yes, you came in goodness and safety, land and country, we congratulate you for this day of yours.

Jibere da, gotinên bav û kalên me, gotinên bav û dayika, çi berê jime re digotin? Pend û şîret. Çi şîret li me dikirin? From the past, the sayings of our ancestors, sayings of fathers and mothers, what did they tell us before? Proverbs and advice. What advice did they give us?
Dê kes li vir hene, ew jî meraq in... ji berê da nivîsandina, hine ji Kurdî, hinek peyvên zimanê ecnebî jî girtine, hinek jî ji erebî girtine. Emê nika ser vê nîqaş bikin. There are people here, they are also interested... writing from the past, some from Kurdish, they took some words from foreign languages too, some from Arabic. We will now discuss this.

Serçavên min apê Ehmed. You are welcome (lit: upon my eyes), Uncle Ahmed.
Em ji cem kê destpê bikin? Who shall we start with?
Tu zanî, em ji cem te destpê bikin. You know best, let's start with you.
Em ji cem te destpê bikin? Shall we start with you?
Ca be, nê? Alright, fine?
Em hinekî behsa gotinên dê û bavên xwe bikin. Let's talk a little about the sayings of our parents (ancestors).
Berê çi şîret li me dikirin. What advice did they give us in the past?
Ew gotinên jî, heyî niha di nav gund de hene, yan na? And do those sayings still exist in the village now, or not?
Em hinekî li ser vê behs bikin. Let's discuss this a bit.
Ya, ehlen we sehlen. Yes, welcome.
Gotinên dê û bavên me, digotin yareb nîzam û hesê miletê. The sayings of our parents... they used to say: Oh Lord, the system and the sense (feeling) of the nation.
Sîstem? System?
Sîstem û hesê miletê. System and the sense of the nation.
Heke vî qalibî kî rast bibînin, yanî nîzam. If they see this mold correctly, meaning "order/system".
Û digot ilm, û şixul, û harekerin... And they said science, and work, and movement...
Hevoka esasê miletê ye. Are the foundational sentence of the nation.
Alîkarî? Cooperation (Help)?
Alîkarî, û zanabûn, û harekerin. Cooperation, and knowledge, and movement.
Hewa... a ewê esasê milet e. This... yes that is the foundation of the nation.
Dema ko miletek bi hevra alîkarî bike, û yek bidestê hevda... When a nation cooperates with each other, and hand in hand...
Dibe, du qewet di dinyayê da xera nabin. It implies, two powers in the world cannot be destroyed.
Berê yekê qeweta Xwedê, qeweta Xwedê, û paşê qeweta şe'b. First is the power of God, God's power, and then the power of the people.
Yekbûna şe'b, hewa ferz dike li ser alemê teva. The unity of the people, imposes itself upon the whole world.
Bi necihî. Îstîslam nabe. With success. Surrender does not happen.
Şaîrekî, Mihemed Mehdî Cewahîrî got: A poet, Muhammad Mahdi Al-Jawahiri said:
Got: "Sha'bun da'aimuhu jamajimun wa damun, tatahattam al- dunya wa la yatahattam." He said: "A nation whose pillars are skulls and blood, the world may shatter, but it will not shatter."
Got, heger şe'bek mêjiyê xwe û xwîna xwe... He said, if a people give their brains and their blood...
...jixwe re bike hedefekê, got dinya giş xera be, ew xera nabe. ...and make it a target (sacrifice) for themselves, he said the whole world might be destroyed, but they won't be destroyed.
Ekber mîsal, ewê Kobanî, meqamê me di Kobanî da. The greatest example is that of Kobani, our situation in Kobani.
Ee. Dibe Îngîlîz dibê, teben ev gotina li şiqê şu'ûb heye gişt ew dibê... Yes. The English say, of course these sayings exist in the branches of all peoples, they say...
Dibe: "You can take a horse to the water, but you cannot make it drink." They say: "You can take a horse to the water, but you cannot make it drink."
Tu dikane hespê serî hês bigre beyî kaniya, bes tu nikane jêbûr ke vexwe. You can take the horse's head to the spring, but you cannot force it to drink.
Tu nikane jêbûr ke. You cannot force it.
Lazim her tiştekî, her şe'bekî, her miletekî, her ewkî... It is necessary that for anything, any people, any nation, any such thing...
Ko hundir zikê wî nexwaze sa, bi pêş nakeve. If their inner gut (desire) doesn't want it, they won't progress.
Tu kê çi bike, jê eşq û meraqa dilê xwe da nekute binacehê, tê pêşkeve. No matter what you do, if they don't put the love and passion of their heart into success, they won't progress.
Û yê din, dibê dîsa hewa Îngîlîz wa dibê... And the other one, again the English say this...
Û Kurmancê me dêk û bavkê me jî wa digot. And our Kurds, our parents, also used to say this.
"You run after two sheep, cannot catch... will neither." "You run after two sheep, you cannot catch... neither." (Meaning: If you chase two sheep, you won't catch either).
Dibe heger tu daf ser du miana, û tu bixwaze herduka bihevre bigre, tu nikane yek tenê bigre. Says if you run after two sheep, and you want to catch both together, you cannot catch even one.
Jixwe re bike hedefekê yekê, tê bigre. Make one target for yourself, and you will catch it.
Û tê yê din jî bigre. And you will catch the other one too.
Bes tu bixwaze herduka bihevre bigre, tu nikane bigre. But if you want to catch both together, you cannot catch them.
Ee. Yes.
Û Îngîlîz dîsa gotî, û dêk û bavkê me hatanê, tima wa dîtin, kalê me... And the English said again, and our parents until now, we saw them, our elders...
Dibe: "Speech is silver, silence is golden." Says: "Speech is silver, silence is golden."
"Iza kana kalamuka min al-fidda, wa sukutuka min al-zahab." "If your speech is of silver, then your silence is of gold." (Arabic quote).
Dibe heger, yanî ne di her mewqifekî da, mewqifên... Says if, meaning not in every situation, in situations...
Tu şûrê te ji zîv e, dengkirinê, e sekinandina te, zêr e. If your sword (word/speech) is of silver, making sound... uh your standing/silence is gold.
Yanî di derna da meriv bisikine, xeber nede, zêr e. Meaning in some places, if a person stays silent and doesn't speak, it is gold.
Belê. Yes.
Ê din, dibê dîsa Îngîlîz jî wa gotî û Kurmancê me jî wa dibêjin hetanê nokan, şe'bê me yê Kurd... The other one, again the English have said it and our Kurds also say it until now, our Kurdish people...
Dibe: "Money is good servant, but bad master." Says: "Money is a good servant, but a bad master."
Û fe'len jî di heyatî me wî yomî da tê îsbat kirin. And truly, in our daily life, it is being proven.
Dibe mal, xizmetçiyekî te yî pir baş e, bes hakimêkî zalim e li ser te. Says property (money) is a very good servant for you, but a cruel ruler over you.
Yanî tima dibîne di roja îro da, dewlemendek hebe, ji bo malê xwe ew dihere. Meaning, we see today, if there is a rich man, he goes (is lost/destroyed) because of his wealth.
Biner, her însanekî zîde zengîn bî, seke tê meyxana, ji milet tê cerdandin. Look, any person who is overly rich, look, he goes to taverns, he gets isolated from the nation.
Yanî orta mux, li nav milet namîne. Meaning among the... he doesn't stay among the nation.
Lîzalîk, hakimêkî zalim e. Therefore, it is a cruel ruler.
Ger pere zîde zîde bî, meriv ew dibe, tê cerdandin. If money becomes too much, a person becomes that, becomes isolated.
Karê wî însanî, wî perana, têke xizmetî milet. The work of that human, that money, should be put into the service of the nation.
Têke însanetî, têke exlaq. Put it into humanity, put it into morality.
Hm. Hm.
Û yê din jî, dibê hedefa me di heyatê me da, me çi kar kir em têda binajihin. And the other thing, it says our goal in our life, whatever work we did, we should succeed in it.
"Our aim in life is successful in our work." "Our aim in life is successful in our work." (Intended: Our aim in life is success in our work).
Yanî hedefa me di heyatê me da, me çi kar kir, bi diqet û bi tîqeniye bike, ma'nîto têda binajihe, tu nefeşile. Meaning our goal in our life, whatever work we did, do it with precision and technique, meaning you will succeed in it, you won't fail.
Û tu çiqas têda rehet be tu najihî, tu... tê rehetbûnê ji bîr bike. And however comfortable you are in it, you succeed... you... you will forget the comfort.
Hm. Hm.
Ê din, dibê... kalê me, bavkê me, pîşo me da wa digot. The other thing, says... our elder, my father, in our profession used to say this.
Digot yaram, we karek kir, bisere bikin. He used to say, my friend (or son), if you did a job, complete it.
We xêrek kir, bisere bikin. If you did a good deed, complete it.
"Best deed are completed." "Best deed are completed." (Intended: The best deeds are completed ones).
"Khayru al-a'mali bi akmaliha." "The best of deeds are those that are completed." (Arabic quote).
Yanî me, eke rindîkê bikim, eke karikî bikim, eke çi bikim, ez bisere bikim. Meaning we, if I do a favor, if I do a job, whatever I do, let me complete it.
Ne şûnê xwe berdim, ne meşî. Not leave it behind, nor walk away.
Ev ji giş tecrûbe çêbûne, ne? These all came from experience, right?
Lê, giş tecrûbe. Gotinên fîlesûfa, gotinên mezin, gotinên geşt e. Yes, all experience. Sayings of philosophers, sayings of elders, all sayings.
Vêra derbas bûne, giş dîn e, giş tecarib in, heta ew gotina kirine. They passed through this, it's all religion (or seen), all experiences, until they made those sayings.
No, ev gotina jî li zanîngeha tê gotin yanî. Tê danîn. No, (I mean) these sayings are spoken in universities too. They are taught.
Êwa. Yes.
Li camî'a da tê danîn. They are taught in universities.
Rast e. Rast e. True. True.
Ee mamoste, ma li cem te hinekî... cem te jî... Uh teacher, let's (turn) to you a bit... to you too...
Tu çawa... te xwendiye? How do you... did you study?
Ez wela, xwendina min ne zîde ye, bes ez guhdar im. Me, honestly, my education isn't much, but I am a listener.
Guhdar im ji zanaya re, û ji milet re, û ji fîlesûfa re. I am a listener to the wise, and to the people, and to the philosophers.
Ewê guhdar, nîvê dîtinê ye. That listening is half of seeing.
Dema ez guh bidim te, ezê tiştekî ji te sûd wergirim. When I listen to you, I will gain something from you.
Û pirtûka dixwînim. And I read books.
Ez pirtûka dixwînim. I read books.
Pirtûka dixwînî? You read books?
Ee, pirtûkên dîrokê, pirtûkên felsefê, pirtûkên şi'ra, edebiyatê, ez dixwînim. Yes, history books, philosophy books, poetry books, literature, I read.
Te çi nivîsandine, te... What have you written, you...
Min nenivîsandine, bes ez dixwînim. I haven't written, but I read.
Tu dixwînî. You read.
Ee. Yes.
Tu mamoste? You, teacher?
Ee wela jê... Yes, well from...
Tu behsa karê xwe bike, pirtûkên xwe bike. Talk about your work, about your books.
Ee wela jê, yanî nîzîkî 60 sal heye, xebatê min di xebatê... Yes, well from... meaning for nearly 60 years, my work has been work...
Xaseten, yanî hemiya mezin doyê çi, me doyê pîşesazîkî, tib... Especially, meaning the greatest of all followed what, we followed a profession, medicine...
Nu çi dike, dibê, yanî umiye, umiye pir xeter e ke. Now what does it do, it says, meaning illiteracy, illiteracy is very dangerous.
Însanî nexwendî pir di xeterê da ye. An uneducated human is in great danger.
Bes umiye jî ne umiyek tenê ye, umiye du sê şê ye. But illiteracy is not just one illiteracy, illiteracy is two or three kinds.
Yek dibê bi Erebî dibêjin "Umiya sehîye". One, in Arabic they say "Health Illiteracy".
Ê din jî dibê "Umiya ebcedîye". The other says "Alphabet Illiteracy" (Reading/Writing).
Selef umiya ebcedîye paşê ewa, paşê wezîfîye, paşê sehîye, dibê ewa ji gişka xatertir e. First alphabet illiteracy then that, then functional, then health (illiteracy), it says that is the most dangerous of all.
Yanî piranîya te liser derman û nexweşxaneyê... ser nexweşiyê te... Meaning most of your (focus) is on medicine and hospitals... on illness you...
Ser nexweşiyê 4000-5000, yanî min ev derman ji her nexweşîkê re amîş kirin. On 4000-5000 illnesses, meaning I have prepared this medicine for every illness.
Û cem min jî hewa mweseq e, bi reqemê daynîm. And with me this is documented, I put them with numbers.
Tu bixwe derman çê dikî? Do you make the medicine yourself?
Derman jî çê dikim, bes mişxurekî nakirim zenaet e. I make medicine too, but I don't trade it as a craft (for mere profit).
Linu çi dike, eno xwestim yanî... yanî hatiye naskirin ga. Because what happens, I am asked... meaning it has become known.
Tu dikanekê veke, lazim e tu para bibê. If you open a shop, you must take money.
Yanî toxtirliq jî, pîşesazik jî, ewkî karikî însanetî ye. Meaning being a doctor, or a professional, that is a humanitarian job.
Ama çaxê ko tu karê xwe berdî, tu elbete rewîştî têkî mecbûrî para bibê. But when you leave your (other) work, you certainly invest (time), you are forced to take money.
Em yek de tê cem min, ji min pirs dike. If someone comes to me, asks me.
Ez eyna qanûn jêra... yanî derman hûnim, belaş û ser hesabê xwe, jêra nesîhet kim her filan tiştî bikin. I (give) the same law to him... meaning I weave the medicine, for free and on my own account, advice him to do such and such thing.
Her nexweşîk 4-5 derman genda hene. Every illness has 4-5 medicines (treatments).
Û îd, voyî gidyone di tibbî, em dibên bi Erebî dibên "Tibb el-Erebî", ne Tibb el-Erebî ye. And this, these things in medicine, we say in Arabic "Arab Medicine", it is not Arab Medicine.
Vêra dibên "Tibb el-Şe'bî". They call this "Folk Medicine".
Tibb el-Şe'bî lazim e 4-5 rê were dermankirin. Folk Medicine must be treated in 4-5 ways.
Min pir liser vî nahîyê hatim xebatandin. I have worked a lot in this area.
Umiye xeter e ke. Illiteracy is dangerous.
Dibê umiye çi dike? Mêjiyê însên dikuje. It says what does illiteracy do? It kills the human brain.
Bi Erebî dibê çi? El-umiye teqtul el-zaka. In Arabic what does it say? Illiteracy kills intelligence.
Mêjî dikuje. It kills the brain.
Yanî însan, her çiqas zîrek be, her çiqas hişyar be, ku ne xwendî be, mêjiyê wî kor dibe. Meaning a human, no matter how clever, no matter how alert, if not educated, his brain becomes blind.
Heta dibê: "El-hibr eqwa min el-dem." It even says: "Ink is stronger than blood."
Hibr, hibra qelemê, ji xwînê biqewettir e. Ink, the ink of the pen, is stronger than blood.
Xwîn dihere, namîne, tê ji bîr kirin, bes hibra qelemê dimîne dîrokê da. Blood goes, doesn't stay, is forgotten, but the ink of the pen remains in history.
Dibê dîsa fîlesûfekî mezin e, Jan Jak Rus... Again, a great philosopher says, Jean-Jacques Rouss(eau)...
Dibê xetere, yanî xezeba Xwedê, xezeba tebîetê, li ser însanê nezan e. Says danger, meaning God's wrath, nature's wrath, is upon the ignorant human.
Xezeb li ser e. Wrath is upon him.
Dibê xezeba Xwedê û tebîetê liser însanê nezan e. Says God's and nature's wrath is upon the ignorant human.
Yanî ilm çiqas pêşkeve, çiqas biçe, çiqas mezin be, ewqas însan pêşdikeve. Meaning however much science progresses, goes forward, becomes great, that much the human progresses.
Dibê, kî dibê? Fikr û fehmê heyî hewara. Says, who says? The thought and understanding existing for aid (civilization).
Yanî hezaretê jî du sed ro dike. Meaning it also extends civilization two hundred days (a long time).
Yanî miletekî, yanî gundî, umî be, nexwenda be sa, yanî duj bindan, de'wî gende ji bin da dimire. Meaning a nation, meaning a villager, if illiterate, uneducated, meaning under oppression, their cause dies from the root.
Ee dibê, meh... ew dibê, Zeredeş dibê çi? Zeredeş di gotina xwe da dibê... Yes he says, Mah... he says, what does Zarathustra say? Zarathustra says in his saying...
Dibê: "Bi zanabûnê, setetehher min cemî' el-xeraîz." Says: "With knowledge, you will be cleansed of all instincts."
Yanî tu însanêkî ne rind î, bes bi zanabûnê dibê, paşê tu pir rind dibê tinu. Meaning you are a person who is not good, but with knowledge he says, afterwards you become very good.
Bi zanabûnê tu şaşbûna derdikevî. With knowledge you exit from error.
Û mitvir da jî, me dîsa ji wî mişkirî, gotinêk Ehmedê Xanê heye. And in this context too, we again learned from him, there is a saying of Ahmed Khani.
Yanî Ehmedê Xanê jî me'rûf e, însanêkî ew e. Meaning Ahmed Khani is also famous, he is such a person.
Dibê: "Yê ko nezanî nefsê, ew nizanî Xwedê." Says: "He who did not know himself, did not know God."
Yê ko nizanî nefsê, ew qet nizanî Xwedê. He who did not know himself, he never knew God.
Û Jan Jak Rus jî dîsa di pirtûka xwe da dibê, dibê eger dîrok û ilm li Kurdistanê hebe... And Jean-Jacques Rousseau again says in his book, says if history and science exist in Kurdistan...
Dibe gelê Kurd dibûye efzeltirîn şe'b. The Kurdish people would have become the most favored nation.
Bes çi dike, nehiştine. But what to do, they didn't allow it.
Li ber me rê girtine. They blocked the way before us.
Dibe mecal nedane me, hertiştî me qedexe kirine. Says they didn't give us opportunity, they banned everything of ours.
Ziwanê me qedexe kirine, nivîsandina me qedexe kirine. They banned our language, they banned our writing.
Nehiştine em azadî bikim, kot bikim, şte yanî. They didn't let us practice freedom, do agriculture, things like that.
Dibê, dibê serxwebûna dibê... dibê ez etar ekime, ne tiştî hazir micehwerat ez difroşim. Says, says independence says... says "I am a perfumer/herbalist, I don't sell ready-made jewelry."
Yanî me'na etar çi ye? Em dibên etar dibê... Meaning what is the meaning of perfumer/herbalist? We say herbalist says...
Yanî însan gelek her tiştî bixwe çêbike, ne hazir bîne bifroşe. Meaning a human should make everything himself, not bring it ready-made and sell.
Elman, tiştan wîna tu telehhev dikî, paşê tu tiştekî rind jê derxînî, tu jiyanekê pî ava bike. Elements, you mix those things together, then you bring out something good from it, you build a life with it.
Ama tu tiştî hazir bigehwre, ma'na tu têbî însanêkî îstîhlakî. But if you roll with ready-made things, meaning you will become a consumer human.
Di wir da te, yanî te derba xwar. In there you, meaning you took a blow.
Ma'na tu tiştekî, tu qewetê te tune ye. Meaning you are nothing, you have no power.
Li vê derê dîsa, jêkî din jî gotî çi ye? Here again, another one has said what?
Ewêkî fîlesûfekî Almanî heye, e e... Almanî... Firansî ye. There is a German philosopher, uh uh... German... French.
Navî gindê Jan Jak Rus ye. His name is Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
Dibê rûkê, ge Kurdistanê, ge nûr dîsa, hem ma'na çi tê ma'na didê? Says the roots, if in Kurdistan, if light again, both meaning what meaning does it give?
Ano ma'netû ilm û dîrok. It means science and history.
Dîrok û ilm biserket. History and science succeeded.
Yanî dîrok, çiqas ilm û dîrok heye, gel cem Kurda heye, bes çi dike dijmin wehşartî û hinda kirî pêşî me. Meaning history, however much science and history exists, it exists with the Kurds, but what to do, the enemy has hidden and lost it before us.
Kitêbê me, digûniyê, Îskenderê Meqdûnî derata, gah hatin şewitandin, gah hatin rakirin. Our books, when Alexander the Macedonian came out, sometimes they were burned, sometimes they were removed.
Yanî ilmê nav me rakirin û xera kirin. Meaning they removed and destroyed the science among us.
Dîsa me cîkî din jî wî mişkirî, dibê kîjan gelo bixwîne, hew gelo biserkeve. Again we learned in another place, saying whichever people reads, that people will succeed.
Belê. Yes.
Kîjan gelo bixwîne, hew kî biserkeve. Whichever people reads, that one will succeed.
Dibê dîsa, me got li vê derê jî, ilm jî wekî çiye? Says again, we said here too, science is like what?
Ilm jî tu kanî eyna bibî çîkê, neçîr e ke. Science, you can also consider it like a thing, it is hunting.
Yanî ov e ke, ov. Meaning it is prey (hunting), prey.
Têkê balê xwe pîdê, têkê tim li miqoyît bê, qelemî te kî hazir bê, defterî te kî hazir bê, têkê yoyî mişke. You have to pay attention to it, you have to always be watchful, your pen must be ready, your notebook must be ready, you must learn it.
Sehheta we pir xweş e. Says it is like hunting, you must learn/catch it, if you don't learn it you forget, it goes, and you won't see benefit.
Sehheta we pir xweş e. Bless your health.
Emê ji we ra xatir bixwazin, bimînin di xêr û xweşiyê de. We will bid you farewell, stay in goodness and happiness.
Em jî spasiya we dikin, em jî... hatina we ser çavê me ser serê me. We also thank you, we also... your coming is upon our eyes and upon our head [you are very welcome].
Gelek spas, bota jî. Sehheta we xweş. Many thanks, to you too. Bless your health.
Gelek ji ciwanên gund di neqşsazî û destên hûrbîniya xwe ser de lêgerînên nû diafirînin kar dikin. Many of the village youth create new pursuits and work on engraving with their meticulous hands.
Li gundê Soriyê çar bêder hene. Bêdera Mistê Huso, bêdera serê gazê, bêdera çîmê çinare û bêdera Weyso. In the village of Sorî, there are four threshing floors. Mistê Huso's threshing floor, the hilltop threshing floor, the plane tree meadow threshing floor, and Weyso's threshing floor.
Di gundê Soriyê da sê kaniyên avê hene. Kaniya Dudê, baxçê Weyso, kaniya Tayê Biyê. In the village of Sorî, there are three water springs. The Dudê spring, Weyso's garden, the Tayê Biyê spring.

Hemd ji Xwedê re, em di şixul in, cewê dinê navbera me xweş e. Praise be to God, we are working, the atmosphere of the world is good between us.
Kêfa we xweş e? Are you happy/well?
Baş e, şixul rehet nayê, tu ket bidî ta şixul tê. It is good, work doesn't come easy, you have to put in effort for the work to come.
Erê. Sehheta we xweş. Yes. Bless your health.
Em nav nasbikin? May we know the names?
Navê min Aslan Hebîb. My name is Aslan Hebîb.
Aslan, Tirkî ye? Aslan, is it Turkish?
Ê Tirkî heye. Yes, there is Turkish.
Aslan tu zanî bi Kurdî çi ye? Aslan, do you know what it is in Kurdish?
Lê, şêr e. Yes, it is lion.
Şêr e, aferîm. It is lion, bravo.
Navê min Mihemed e. My name is Mihemed.
Ser çavê me. Upon our eyes [pleased to meet you].
Ewan çi dikin? Wi kevir dişikînin? What are they doing? Are they breaking that stone?
Kevra dişikînin. They are breaking stones.
Lê em ma'nê xaniyê bigirin, çêbikin. Yes, so we can build houses, construct them.
Wellehî şerê we herî zehmet e. By God, your battle [work] is the hardest.
Lê welle em bibînin çi rizqê me ketiyê va kevran. Yes, by God, let's see, our livelihood has fallen into these stones.
Di gund de çend kes vî karî dikin? How many people in the village do this work?
Pênc. Five.
Pênc kes ne? Navê wan çi ne? Five people, right? What are their names?
Yek Mannê Ibrîm Ko ye. One is Mannê Ibrîm Ko.
Yek Mehmêdê Huso ye. One is Mehmêdê Huso.
Yek Ferîdê Xelîl Huso di heye. There is one, Ferîdê Xelîl Huso.
Yek jî Mehmêdê Xelîl Huso di heye. There is also one, Mehmêdê Xelîl Huso.
Nabîn pênc? Isn't it five?
Temam. Okay.
Neha di gundê we de kevrî pir tên naskirin. Dibêjin kevir difroşin. Now in your village, stones are very well known. They say they sell stones.
Rast e, em debara xwe bi va kevran dikin. It is true, we make our living with these stones.
Jiber maîşetek an jîyanekî bi me gerek e. Because a livelihood or a life is necessary for us.
Gundê me, çiyayê nîzîk e. Our village, the mountain is near.
Mesele hinekî ziraetê me, çandê me hinekî kêm e. For example, our agriculture, our planting is a bit scarce.
Fa mecbûr kevir li cem me pir in, em bi va kevran debara xwe dibînin. So we are forced, stones are plentiful with us, we find our livelihood with these stones.
Di destpêkê de ne... Yanî ji mêj de va meseleya kevir, em ji mêj de vî meselî pêk tînin. Not in the beginning... Meaning for a long time this issue of stones, we have been doing this for a long time.
Jiber hene em difroşin, em pê qişkê xwe, xanimê, pê debara xwe dikin. Because there are those we sell, we support our kids, the wife, we make our living with it.
Em YPG (Yekîneyên Parastina Gel) xwe jî pê digirin? Does the YPG (People's Protection Units) also buy from you?
Em YPG xwe jî pê digirin, heta em YPJ (Yekîneyên Parastina Jin) digirin jî. The YPG buys from us, even the YPJ (Women's Protection Units) buys too.
Mala we ava. Ew kî ye? Thank you [may your house be built]. Who is that?
Welle mal a me ye, alo... li wû... me girtî, pê va kevirê em çêdikin pê digirin e. By God, that is our house, alo... over there... we built it, with these stones we make, they build/buy it.
Ev karê me ye. This is our work.
Hûn kevrê xwe difroşin ku derê? Where do you sell your stones?
Wellehî pir gund tên, ev gundê Bexçê tê, Heyama tê, Bilbilê tê. By God, many villages come, this village Bexçe comes, Heyama comes, Bilbilê comes.
Pir gundên dûr jî tên, heta gundên ber jêr jî têne, heta Kotana, heta pir gundên tên, yanî derdorî me gişt tên. Many distant villages also come, even villages from down below come, up to Kotana, up to many villages that come, meaning all our surroundings come.
Meqle' jî cem we hene? Are there quarries with you too?
Welle meqle' jî hene. Meqle' berê muttehîd bûn, ew kevirê me dişkandin. By God, there are quarries too. Quarries used to be contractors, they broke our stones.
Ew dişkandin. Zaten va... ê vê... yanî va gundê me ê di şixulîn, karker, karker bûn. They broke them. Actually this... of this... meaning our village used to work, laborers, they were laborers.
Jiber muhtac bûn. Because they were in need.
Debara xwe pêk tînin. They make their living.
Em da diketin li warşa. Warş bûn vêra digotin. We used to go down to the workshops. They called them workshops here.
Hem kompresor bûn, hem traks bûn, hem leẍem hebûn. There were both compressors, and tracks, and dynamite.
Işta ew difrûtan, kesên... ê qalebê xwe hebûn. So they sold those, people... those who had their molds.
Ev hene Ereb jî dihatin, waha qaleban danîn dihatin, bar dikirin, dişandin Xonsiblê. There are Arabs who also came, they put down molds like that, they came, loaded, and sent to Khonsible.
Li wê derê, ew îşta ji bo ra... va her kevrekî jî rengê xwe cûna ki bû yanî. Over there, that so for... every stone had its own different color, you know.
Ew ji bo blata, ji bo tiştan çêdikirin. They made them for tiles, for things.
Ê waha difrûtan, vê jî îşta... piştî bûyerên Sûriyê çêbûn, ew alavên wan hatin dizîn, hatin şewitandin. So they sold like that, and this too now... after the Syrian events happened, their equipment was stolen, was burned.
Em jî îşta bi destê xwe, bi keda xwe, em vî kevirî dişkînin. And we now, with our own hands, with our own labor, we break this stone.
Pê debara gund, em pê dimeşin vê debarê. With the livelihood of the village, we carry on with this livelihood.
Hatanî nuha jî waha dikin. Until now we do like this.
Nuha çend meqle' li cem we hene? How many quarries do you have now?
Welle meqle' ê pir in. Em nizanim meqle' temamî ya nizanim çend feqet meqle' li vî gundî hebûn. By God, the quarries are many. I don't know the exact quarries or I don't know how many but there were quarries in this village.
Yanî belkî şeş heft meqle' hene. Meaning maybe there are six or seven quarries.
Lê feqet hin derê dûrî gund jî diçûn di şixulîn, jiber meqle' li kuderê hebûn. But some went far from the village to work, wherever there were quarries.
Kijan meqle'a ji bo ruxamê, ji bo blata, kijan haceta ne. Which quarry for marble, for tiles, which ones are necessary.
Ew dibirin Xonsiblê, diçûn wê derê yanî hil dikirin. They took them to Khonsible, they went there, meaning they processed/loaded them.
Ummal wê derê diçûn di şixulîn. Workers went there to work.
Karker yanî. Laborers, that is.
Ê naha kevirê reş tenê li cem we heye yan kevirê din jî heye? So now do you only have black stone or are there other stones too?
Wellehî ê pir livra çoyê me pir kevirê reş e. By God, the majority here in our mountain is mostly black stone.
Ama li deştê da kevirê din jî heye, ê spî jî heye. But in the plain there are other stones too, there are white ones too.
Evî me go, hênî woy binefsejî heye, nizanim çi, lûnê wi heye, ewna ji bo keksarê bûn. This one we said, there is that purple one, I don't know what, it has its color, those were for stone crushers.
Ev kevirê reş ji bo yopê bûn, ji girtina yopê bûn. This black stone was for construction, for building construction.
Her kesî dihat dikirin. Everyone came and bought it.
Ama kevirê din, ê lûnê din, jiber jêrî gund bûn. But the other stones, of other colors, because they were below the village.
Ewna pir firotana xwe ji bo... ê... blata bûn yanî, ruxam bûn. Their sales were mostly for... uh... tiles, meaning marble.
Difrotin. They sold them.
Hatanî nuha jî, yanî vê meselê ne... Until now, meaning this issue is not...
Yanî gundiyê we da pir kes vî karî dikin? So in your village many people do this work?
Ê vî gundî me ji bo vê warşê di şixulîn, piraniya xwe karker bûn, gişt warşê di şixulîn. Yes, our village worked for this workshop, the majority were laborers, all worked in the workshop.
Yanî gişt va karî dikin. Meaning all do this work.
Jiber hin çandina me kêm bû, hebû. Because our planting was scarce, it existed.
Ama çandina me kêm bû, hilekî me çiya ye, û nîzîkî sînor e. But our planting was scarce, one side of us is mountain, and it's near the border.
Ê gundekî teybetî xwe... yanî... tehmelî we heye, bilind e. A village with its own special... meaning... it has its tolerance, it is high.
Ciyê wî jî işta ne waha fereh e yanî ji bo çandinê. Its place is not so spacious for planting.
Ew ki... ji bo debara xwe bimeşin, ew pir bi kevir ve mijûl dibin. That is who... to carry on their livelihood, they are very occupied with stones.
Ê taybetmendiya kevirê reş çi ye? So what is the characteristic of the black stone?
Ê taybetmendiya kevirê reş, bi xwe kevrekî yanî... pir rind e yanî. The characteristic of the black stone, in itself it is a stone that is... very good.
Mahkem e jî. It is solid too.
Û demê tu bigre, wê lêhîmê jî naweşîne. And when you build it, it doesn't shed the mortar either.
Yanî tu wî xaniyê jê digre yanî heta bi çil pêncî salî na... nayê ew kirin yanî... ê... naşke, der nabe. Meaning the house you build from it, even up to forty-fifty years it doesn't... doesn't undergo that... uh... doesn't break, doesn't come off.
Ciyê xwe de dimîne. It stays in its place.
Çi wextî jî tu dixwaze cîkî bigre, dilê te xwestî, de sa te xwestî, xera bike, tu wî hilweşîne pa cîkî din bigre dîsa ditiş nabe. Whenever you want to build a place, as your heart desires, as you desire, tear it down, you destroy it then build another place, again nothing happens to it.
Tişt nabe. Nothing happens.
Bi salan tişt nabe. For years nothing happens.
Bi salan jî yanî bimîne, heta nuha ev... yanî va gundê me bi ewkê xwe bi kevirê xwe yanî pir ew dike. Even for years if it stays, until now this... meaning our village with its... with its stones, it does that a lot.
Naha di gundê we de bera xaniyê qedîm hebûn, îna jî hene? Now in your village, there were old houses before, are there still any?
Welle xaniyê qedîm neha li cem me... tinenin yanî kêm bûn. By God, old houses now with us... there aren't any, meaning they became few.
Berê hebûn, ê megî va hebûn, ev ogê xaniyê gi... ew kevin... Before there were, those mud ones, those kinds of houses all... those old stones...
Ji kol pîrê me çûn, ewna... ew xaniyê nû... avakirin. Since our elders passed away, those... those new houses... were built.
Jiber ew xaniyê jî hinî mesele zivistan hinikî zehmet e, zivistanê me jî ne wek deştê ye. Because those houses also due to the issue that winter is a bit difficult, and our winter is not like the plain.
Zivistanê me pir sar e. Our winter is very cold.
Ew weyinkê pir nêhiştin ji mesele ge va xaniyê nû derketin, ji bo bêtûnê yanî manî hinikî av naye. That type they didn't keep much because of the issue that these new houses appeared, for concrete, meaning so water doesn't come in.
Belê. Yes.
Naha hûn kevra dişkînin? Now do you break stones?
Rojê çend kevra dişkînî? How many stones do you break a day?
Welle rûyê heftî kevirî, heştî kevirî. By God, around seventy stones, eighty stones.
Ooo. Ooh.
Heftî kevirî tu kanî bişkînî? Can you break seventy stones?
Lê. Yes.
Tu na westî? Don't you get tired?
Diwestim, westî dibê. I get tired, tiredness happens.
Naha hûn bi çakûçî kar dikin, her kevrekî bi çakûçî dişkînî? Now you work with a hammer, do you break every stone with a hammer?
Welle her kevrekî, dore sedî. By God, every stone, around a hundred.
Çe dereqî? How many strikes?
Yanî rojê da heft hezar req e. Meaning in a day seven thousand strikes.
Lê? Yes?
Welle baş e kuretê, baş e. By God it is good my son, it is good.
Baş e lê. It is good, yes.
Tu min na'elmînî? Won't you teach me?
Çima? Hê çogî te danim te de... Why? Here I'll put a hammer in your hand...
Ez karim kar bikim? Can I work?
Tu kar bikî welle. You can work, by God.
Hê? Ka em bibînin tu çawa kar dikî? Yeah? Let's see how you work?
Hm. Hmm.
Tu çawa dişkînî? How do you break it?
Ewha wa dişkînim. Like this, I break it.
Naha kevirî de gerek çend santîm be? Now regarding the stone, how many centimeters should it be?
Hesebe kevir e, kevirê heyî bîst santîm, yê heyî deh û pênc santîm, yê heyî bîst û pênc santîm, yê heyî sî santîm. It depends on the stone, there is stone of twenty centimeters, there is fifteen centimeters, there is twenty- five centimeters, there is thirty centimeters.
Ne... Gelekî tu dûz bikî hema? Not... You just have to make it flat?
Lê, ne mûhedded e. Yes, it is not specific.
Hûn ji çend salî ve vî karî dikin? Since what age have you been doing this work?
Wellehî henke bibînin, yanî hinekî demaxê emrê me bû... panzdeh salî... va karê me dest me kir. By God, as you see, meaning some time of our age was... fifteen years old... we started this work of ours.
Ji mecbûriyetê xwe, hin ji bavê xwe jî girt. Out of necessity, some learned it from their father too.
Bavê me jî hinekî va... karê... debara xwe bi kevra bûn, bi yopê bûn. Our fathers also somewhat this... work... their livelihood was with stones, with construction.
Me jî ew zehmetî ji bavê xwe girt, me jî dest pê kirî, hatanî nuha. We also took that hardship from our father, we also started it, until now.
Naha ê di gundê we de herî hosta, ew kî ye, î hosta ne? Now in your village who is the most master [skilled], are they masters?
Evê kevn... naha... ê kevn, ê naha... yanî herî tenê da naskirin kî bû? The old ones... now... the old, the current... meaning the one most known was who?
Ê wellehî kevn, yek hosta dema ku ew... tene bûn ê kevn bofkê min va yopê digirt, yanî hosta bû, yanî digotin şta... Omer yopê digre, banî dikin, digirtin. Uh by God the old, one master when they... were alone, the old ones, my father built this construction, meaning he was a master, meaning they said well... Omer is building, they called him, they hired him.
Ama ê noko, hostayê me hene, pir ne. But the current ones, we have masters, there are many.
Ev... Aso heye, ê ez hebûm, berê li Helebê bûm min va karî pir dikir, va karê yopê. This... there is Aso, and I was, I used to be in Aleppo, I did this work a lot, this construction work.
Çûm Helebê... El-Heleb minessef debara xwe bi vî karî dikir. I went to Aleppo... Aleppo partially made its living with this work.
Kevr hin me dapo dikir, hosta... hem jî me kevr çêdikirin. We laid stone, master... and we also made stones.
Ama li vî guncî Aso hewna nekî va... debara xwe dimeşandin. But in this village Aso and them somewhat... carried on their livelihood.
Ê ama hatin gund, em mecbûr em dîsa debara xwe bi va kevran hûnin pêk tînin. So but coming to the village, we are forced to again weave our livelihood with these stones.
Em dija... We say...
Xwedê kîmasiyê we neyîne, destê we, qewet be. May God not bring you lack, may your hands have strength.
Spas dikim, te dî jî. Thank you, you too.
Pir spas. Many thanks.
Û em jî spas dikin wa jibo temaşe... ma'n qanala Ronahî TV, te zahmet da, te elfet da me jibo vê... karê em dikin, debara xwe dimeşînin bi vî gundî. And we also thank you for the viewing... meaning Ronahî TV channel, you took trouble, you gave us attention for this... work we do, making our living in this village.
Di gund de pênc pakrewan hene, Şehîd Silvana, Cemîl, Ferhad, Leyla û Akîf. There are five martyrs in the village: Martyr Silvana, Cemil, Ferhad, Leyla, and Akif.
Dibistana gund di sala 2015an de bi navê Şehîd Silvana ye. Komîna gund jî bi navê Şehîd Cemîl e. Since 2015, the village school has been named Martyr Silvana. The village commune is named Martyr Cemil.
Gelek kesên civakî, navdar, xwedî nav û deng di gund de hebûn. Many social, famous, and renowned people lived in the village.

Belê temaşevanên hêja, naha jî em derbasî dibistanê bûn. Yes, dear viewers, now we have moved on to the school.
Em mamoste, em şagirt li vir in, emê silavekê bidin wan a. The teachers and students are here, we will greet them.
Merheba ji were mamoste. Hello to you, teacher.
Ehlê we sehlen, xêr hatin ser çava. Welcome, you are very welcome.
Sax bî mamoste. Thank you, teacher.

Ez mamoste Medya me, ji gundê Sari me. Li dibistana Şehîd Silvana dawam dikim. I am teacher Medya, from Sari village. I teach at the Martyr Silvana school.
Ser çava. Hûn çend mamoste ne giştî? You are welcome. How many teachers are you in total?
Em çar mamoste ne, sê ê ziman in, û yek jî Erebî, ji hefteyê rojekê tê. We are four teachers, three are for language [Kurdish], and one is for Arabic, who comes one day a week.
Naha dersa me ye, em li derve lîstokan bi zarokan re dawam dikin. It is currently our lesson time, we are continuing with games outside with the children.
Mamoste merheba ji te re jî. Teacher, hello to you too.
Ahlen we sehlen. Welcome.
Sax bî. Thank you.
Em bi xêr hatina we dikin. We welcome your arrival.
Yanî em pir bi keyfxweş bûn hûn hatine gundê Sari ye. I mean, we were very happy that you came to Sari village.
Sax bî, em jî kêfxweş bûn. Thank you, we were happy too.
Te nas bikin? Can we get to know you?
Ez mamoste Bêrîvan im. Ez li viderê wana didim, xwendekaran fêrî zimanê Kurdî dikim. I am teacher Berivan. I give lessons here, teaching students the Kurdish language.
Ez bi xwe, em sê mamoste ne, ê ziman didin, zimanê Kurdî. Personally, we are three teachers who teach language, the Kurdish language.
Û mamostek heye, mamoste ê zimanê Erebî dide, ew başqe ye, di hefteyê rojekê tê. And there is a teacher, the teacher who teaches Arabic, that is separate, coming one day a week.
Bes em, em zimanê Kurdî didin zarokên... But we, we teach the Kurdish language to the children...
Ez bi xwe mamosteyê zarokên refê çar û pênc û şeş im, didim. Cem min in. I am personally the teacher for the children in grades four, five, and six. They are with me.
Û hevala min jî, mamoste didin, ê din didin şagirtên din. And my friend [colleague], the teachers give, the others teach the other students.
Yanî ji refê yek heya şeş? Meaning from grade one to six?
Ji refê yek heya şeş ceme hene. Zarok. From grade one to six are present [together]. The children.
Ene key çi ferq navbera dibistanên niha û berê heye? So, what is the difference between the schools now and before?
Ê ferq cudahî pir e. The difference is huge.
Yanî ger ez bêjim, were me berê çû fêr bibûya û me çû xwendiya... I mean, if I say, look at how we went and learned before and how we studied...
Yanî em giştan zanîn, gahiştî... I mean we all know, maturely...
Bes vê sê salan e, vê di şoreşa Rojavayê da... But for these three years, in this Rojava revolution...
Yanî ger derfetek ji bo me çêbûye em zimanê xwe dixwînin. Since an opportunity has arisen for us to study our own language.
Ev jî kêfxweşiyek mezin e yanî, di dîrokê de, yanî hewa derfetek dîrokî ye yanî ger em bêjin. This is a great happiness, in history, I mean this is a historic opportunity if we may say so.
Zarok bi zimanê xwe fêr dibe, bi helbestan... The child learns in their own language, through poems...
Yanî ez bêjim ger em bînin ser ziman yanî, ser xwe yanî... I mean if I say, if we bring it to language, to ourselves...
Destpêkê em, me didirsî, em ger pir siv me zanî, me du dirsî wa bagota yanî, ber siv. In the beginning we, when we studied, if we knew very little, we would say two lessons like that, in answer.
Bes naha zarok bi kêfxweşî, bi dilgermî... But now the child with happiness, with enthusiasm...
Bersiva wan didin, waneya xwe pêşkêşî mamosta dikin. They answer them, they present their lessons to the teacher.
Dibêjin 'mamoste yanî hoha', yanî mamoste jî bi dil germî, bi dil xweşî yanî zarok qebûl dike yanî. They say 'teacher, look at this', and the teacher accepts the child with enthusiasm and happiness.
Naha hûn çi dikin? Dema çiye? Dibistan derketine? What are you doing now? What time is it? Are schools out?
Erê, dibistan qat hat qatandin. Yes, school [classes] have ended.
Ê naha me zarokên jî amade kirine. So now we have prepared the children as well.
Him lîstokek ku em ber zarokan fêr dikin. Both a game that we teach the children.
Lîstokê me zarokan amade kirine, şeş zarok ceme hene. We have prepared games for the children, there are six children together.
Keç, sê keç û sê xurt in. Girls, three girls and three boys.
Ew jî me amade kirine ser lîstokê telîza. We have prepared them for the sack race game.
Ew jî lîstokek pir kevne. That is also a very old game.
Ê me naha amade kiriyaye, yanî hûnê naha bibînin yanî. So we have prepared it now, you will see it now.
Yanî her car her car hûn lîstokên zarokan çêdikin? So do you organize children's games every time [regularly]?
Lê her car. Gok jî heye, tiştên din jî... Yes, every time. There is soccer too, and other things...
Em werzişê... yekî em bêjin bazê... We do sports... let's say running...
Ana em sekin keçik û xurtek çû gihîşt bazê, kî ser dikeve yanî. We stand, a girl and a boy run to reach the goal, [to see] who wins.
Em wê xelat dikin, yan em wa dikin. Heye yanî. We award them prizes, or we do things like that. It exists.
De na hûn yekî xelat bikin, yan xelat nekin na? So will you award someone now, or not?
Em xelat kin, çima em xelat nakin! Emê tûm xelat bikin. Xweş e yanî. We will award them, why wouldn't we! We will award everyone. It is nice.
Û zarok xweş dibin. And the children become happy.
Mamoste gotinek te heye tu dixwazî bibêjî? Teacher, do you have a saying you want to say?
Gotin, gotinek min heye ji gotinê Rêber Apo. A saying, I have a saying from Rêber Apo [Abdullah Öcalan].
Niva gotinê ez key bikim... nava her kes di jiyana xwe da wekî bingeh bigire. I will make this saying... so that everyone takes it as a foundation in their life.
Û ez dicarim bibêjim: "Di bêl pêş min me meş, dibe ku li bête nayêm." And I can say: "Do not walk in front of me, I may not come behind you."
