Em dixwazin zêde naskirin li ser Kaxrê. We want to know more about Kaxrê.
Ev navê Kaxrê ji ku hatiye? Kaxrê çend sal in ava bûye? Where did this name "Kaxrê" come from? How many years has Kaxrê been established?
Çi me'ne didê, çi wate didê Kaxrê? What does it signify, what is the meaning of Kaxrê?
Berî her tiştî em xêrhatina we û qenala Rûnahî dikin. First of all, we welcome you and the Ronahî channel.
Hûn hûr û bîn mêvanê gundê me, em spasiya we dikin. You are intimately guests of our village, we thank you.
Bi rastî Kaxrê gundekî kevnar e, hinekî di dîrok a xwe da. Truly, Kaxrê is an ancient village, somewhat, in its history.
Navê Kaxrê bi xwe, navekî bi Tirkî hatiye lêkirin. The name Kaxrê itself is a name that was applied in Turkish.
Ji ber ku mentîqet hewayî... hinekî dibin hakimiyeta Osmaniyan li vir bû. Because the area... the atmosphere... it was somewhat under Ottoman rule here.
Ev gund Kaxrê wateya wê heye yanî... This village, Kaxrê, has a meaning, that is...
Ji boyî mewqiyê xwe, hinekî dwin dibînin, di ciyê xwe da bilindî ye. Because of its location, some see it... in its place, it is an elevation.
Di esas da, eslen da, navê xwe 'Îkî Axir' bû. Fundamentally, originally, its name was "Iki Akhir" (Two Barns).
'Îkî Axir' bi Tirkî. Zaten bi Tirkî ev nav hat lêkirin. "Iki Akhir" in Turkish. Actually, this name was applied in Turkish.
Kê lêkir? Tirkan lêkir. Who applied it? The Turks applied it.
Vê paşê hat textîsar kirin, ji ber ku 'Îkî Axir' hinekî her kes dizanî navekî bi Tirkî ye. Later it was abbreviated, because everyone somewhat knew "Iki Akhir" was a Turkish name.
Ji bona wê hat textîsar kirin, gotin Kaxrê yanî. Therefore it was abbreviated, they called it Kaxrê.
Ji ber li ser ziman hinekî rastir (rehetir) bê. Yanî 'Îkî'... So that it would be easier on the tongue. Meaning "Iki"...
Yanî 'Îkî' bûye 'Ka'? So "Iki" became "Ka"?
'Axir' bûye 'Xrê'. "Akhir" became "Xrê".
Bûye Kaxrê. It became Kaxrê.
Erê, na na, 'Îkî' hatiye avêtin. Yes... no, no, "Iki" was dropped.
'Îkî' hatiye avêtin? "Iki" was dropped?
Erê, 'Îkî' hatiye avêtin, 'Axir' maye, 'Axir' bûye Kaxrê. Yes, "Iki" was dropped, "Akhir" remained, "Akhir" became Kaxrê.
Yanî ev navê gundê Kaxrê li ser wî hatiye gotin. Meaning, this name of the village Kaxrê was spoken based on that.
Ji bona wê, yanî ev dibêjin, kesên bav û kalên me dibêjin ku... Because of that, meaning they say, our ancestors say that...
Destpêkê kesê ku li ser vê tepê rûniştî bûn, hinekî du mal bûn. Initially, the people who settled on this hill were about two households.
Du ciwan (heywan) hebûn. They had two [herds of] livestock.
Wek berê jî hûn zanin, însan bi pez re dadistan, bi dewar re dadistan. As you know in the past, people dealt with sheep, dealt with beasts of burden.
Debara xwe bi pez dikirin. They made their living with sheep.
Fa hinekî va mewqiyê vê gundî jî hinekî wek rêkek bû. So, somewhat, the location of this village was also like a route.
Ji bona kesê ku tîcaretiyê dikin, tê ra derbas dibûn û tên. For those who engaged in trade, they would pass through it and come.
Wek ciyê vehasê (bêhnvedanê) lê didîtin. They saw it as a place of rest.
Ji ber ku berê heta sefer çûndin û hatin, tîcaret li ser dewar bû, meş bû. Because back then, until [modern] travel, going and coming, trade was on beasts of burden, it was walking.
Ji kuderê dihatin? Ji êlî mesela xerbî dihatin... Where did they come from? They came from, for example, the western tribes...
Diçûn Qeraxan e, pîra wî de bajarê Tirkan e. Going to Qeraxan (Kirikhan), over its bridge to the City of the Turks.
Ev noqtekî ku li ortê dighîştin, navbera bajarê Tirkan û heta bajarê Helebê. This was a point where they reached the middle, between the City of the Turks and the city of Aleppo.
Ji ber ku Heleb bi xwe bajarekî kevndar e yanî. Because Aleppo itself is an ancient city.
Ji bona ku çûndin û hatin çêdibû, vehasa xwe li vir didîtin, gerokê didiyê... Because going and coming was happening, they found their rest here, gave the animals a rest...
Ji şûnda dîsa dimeşiyan û riya xwe berdewam dikirin. From there they would walk again and continue their path.
Yanî ev li ser me'na navê gund e hinekî. Meaning, this is somewhat regarding the meaning of the village name.
Gundê Kaxrê bi xwe zaten, berî 300-400 sal... The village of Kaxrê itself actually, 300-400 years ago...
Me got yek... du mal bûn, du mal tenê bûn. We said one... there were two households, only two households.
Lê ji şûnda, hûn teva zanin, hinekî gund tine bûn yanî. But afterwards, as you all know, somewhat there were no villages [in the area].
Yanî di gûtnan tê, têbêjin 400 sal ev gund ava bûye? So it comes in the sayings, they say this village was established 400 years ago?
Erê 400 sal heye. Fa malên esasî ji 400 sal da ye. Yes, it has been 400 years. The original houses are from 400 years ago.
Faqet ke wek gund, aîle li derdora hev kom bûn... However, as a village, families gathered around each other...
Hûn berê zanin yanî, her aîleke li cîkî bû. You know in the past, every family was in a [different] place.
Yanî li derdora gund, her aîleke li cîkî hatibû rûnişkandin. Meaning around the village, every family had settled in a specific place.
Di wî demê da jî hinekî aman tine bû yanî, hinekî rehetî tine bû. In that time, there was somewhat no safety, somewhat no comfort.
Ji ber ku çete hebûn, hukumat tine bûn, yexme hebûn. Because there were bandits, there were no governments, there was looting.
Heta ku evna xwe biparêzin ji dest çete û kesên ku dihatin nav yexme dikirin... Until, in order to protect themselves from the hands of bandits and those who came amidst them to loot...
Xwestin li hev bicivin, kom bibin, wek gundek ava kirin. They wanted to gather together, to group up, they established it like a village.
Yanî mîsal em kanin bibên, niha Kaxrê dor 9 aîle, ji 9 aîle pêk tê. So for example we can say, now Kaxrê is around 9 families, composed of 9 families (clans).
Ev aîleyên tevayî li derdora gund, ne pir dûr, her yek cîkî xwe hebû. These families were all around the village, not too far, each one had their own place.
Mîsal amkan (em karin) bibên, mala Qesim, li êli hana vêra digotin kaniya gewrkê. For example we can say, the Qesim family, on that side they called it the white spring.
Li wir bicî bibûn. They were settled there.
Mala Kera li dera hana, li pêş me, serunca Kera vêra digotin, li wir bicî bibûn. The Kera family, at that place over there, in front of us, they called it the Kera Cistern, they were settled there.
Mala Simê li xerbî gund, meselen li ser krêcê digotin. The Simê family to the west of the village, for example they called it on the limestone.
Mala Hecî Îmo, li ciyê Hecî Îmo li wî êlî bûn. The Hecî Îmo family, were at the Hecî Îmo place on that side.
Yanî her aîleke li derekî cigirtî bû. Meaning every family was holding a specific place.
Jiboyî xwe biparêzin û pezê xwe biparêzin û hebûna xwe biparêzin, komî hev dibûn. In order to protect themselves, and protect their sheep, and protect their existence, they gathered together.
Yanî ji vir va nêzîk bûn? Meaning they were close to here?
Tabî, ji vir va nêzîk bûn. Of course, they were close to here.
Çima nêzîk bûn? Why were they close?
Li vê derdorê bûn, ji ber ku av li vê mentîqê hebû, kanî hebûn. They were in this vicinity, because there was water in this region, there were springs.
Yanî kanin hebûn, em bên li viderê... li binê til... Meaning there were springs, let us say at this place... at the bottom of the hill...
...kî dijiye li gund û wilo. ...who lives in the village and so on.
Bixodê, ewilî ciyanê tzone, aslê de her eylak dema gotiye... By God, regarding the first places, you know, basically every family, when it was said...
Ne ku nacîyekû mişterek belkî kirine, ne ku esasê xodo jî bi sedan yan hezaran salan lo vir bûne. It's not that they shared a common origin, nor have they fundamentally been here for hundreds or thousands of years.
Yanî vana tzone, dema kevin de hinekî wek koçber bûn yanî. Meaning, these people, you know, in the old times were somewhat like nomads.
Jiber hêrişan, jiber te'diya her kesî, ji cîwarekê hilbûbû, di va cina da cîgir bibû yanî. Due to attacks, due to the oppression of others, they had risen from one place and settled in these areas.
Bes em jî bîr nekin, ji bo mamosta Mistefa Reşîd jî wek rexne li me neke, me mala Reşo jî bîr kirin yanî. But let us not forget, so that Teacher Mustafa Rashid does not criticize us, we also mentioned the Resho family.
Te got neh malbat ne? Te gerek navî wan giya bije. You said nine families, right? You need to say all their names.
Erê. Yes.
Ne, min ji min va temam kirin. No, I finished [listing] them.
Me got çiqas malbat? Me gotin... neh malbat ne? We asked how many families? We said... nine families, right?
Bes me negot çiqas mal e. But we didn't ask how much wealth (cattle/goods) there is.
Bixodê mal, derdorê çarsed mal e yanî. Mabêyna sêsed heştê heta çarsedî. By God, households, it's around four hundred households. Between three hundred eighty to four hundred.
Yanî derdorê çarsedî em kanin bibên. Meaning, we can say around four hundred.
Nifûsa wê jî derdorê pênc hezar nifûs e. Its population is also around five thousand people.
Pênc hezar nifûs heye. There are five thousand people.
Ev vêkanî, ema imkan bibên hene, em ji wera behl bikin yanî, hin nuqet ciyanê istiratîjî hene. This place, but if there are possibilities, let us explain to you, there are some strategic points.
Êku wek dibên wek sîlsîlekî cebelî, sîlsîlek êku va gunda teqrîben tikanê biniya tîparaztin. One that they say is like a mountain chain, a chain that this village almost... protects the bottom of.
Yanî ji dera ha destpêbike, çiyayê Kaniyê Gawirkê, bera têl vê hêlê, Xerab Reşkê. Meaning, starting from over there, the mountain of Kaniya Gawirke, coming towards this side, Xerab Reshke.
Ez bawerim mamosta Mistefa Reşîd pir... dem û wextê xwe li wir derbas kiriye. I believe Teacher Mustafa Rashid has spent much... of his time and era there.
Ji hêla hemberê me da jî zatên vêra dibêjin Çiyayê Na'sû. On the side opposite us, as a matter of fact, they call it Mount Na'su.
Hêla qulba sirtka Elîfê vêra dibên. The side near the peak, they call it the Ridge of Elif.
Û bera da dikeve Çiyayê Hecî Êmû. And coming down this way is the Mountain of Haji Emu.
Û derdora gunda yanî hinikî hevçiyana naskirîne. And around the village, meaning, some of these mountainous areas are well-known.
Derdora we hemî çan e? Are your surroundings all orchards?
Çan e, erê belê çan e. Orchards, yes, indeed, orchards.
Ê nebêjin, ji bo ku nebêjin Çiyayê Kurmênc e? Efrîn hemî çan e. Don't say that, shouldn't you say it's "Çiyayê Kurmênc" (Mountain of the Kurds)? All of Afrin is orchards.
Erê nam, erê belê. Yes, absolutely, yes indeed.
A didiya, meselen hin av hene yanî. Secondly, for example, there are some waters (sources).
Avit li derdora vê gundî... The waters around this village...
Te got sê kanî hene? Did you say there are three springs?
Sê kanî hene. Li bîrêt, kanî hebû, û hin bîr artîwazî hatin çêkirin, êku bi avê tên kulandin. There are three springs. Regarding wells, there was a spring, and some artesian wells were made, those that are drilled for water.
Li vê nêzîkê, ema li binî gund vêra dibêjin Bîra Gund. Nearby here, but below the village, they call it the Village Well.
Ew jî bîrekî kevnar e. Ji, ez bawer nakim, heta ji tarîxa Roman da heye. That is also an ancient well. From... I don't believe [it's recent], it exists even from Roman history.
Ew jî av lazol heta nuha yanî dimeşe ava xwe. That one too, the water is still flowing, until now its water runs.
Û li hêla rojava jî Kaniya Rûta vêra dibên. And on the western side, they call it the Spring of Ruta.
Fe ev yanî gunda di navbera avê da hatiye çêkirin yanî, cîkî istiratîjîk e. So this, meaning the village, was built amidst the water, meaning, it is a strategic place.
Hemî gundiyên me yê Efrînê, ne? Gava tu dibêjî Şiyê... All our villagers of Afrin, right? When you say "Şiyê" (district)...
Şiyê bi kaniyê, bilbilê... hemî gund... berê kanî li ku hebûn, milet diçûn li wir dibûn. Şiyê with its springs, Bilbil... all villages... wherever there were springs before, the people would go and settle there.
Berê ku pez hebûn, debar a xwe pir bi pez dikirin, diçûn vira. In the past when there were sheep, they made their living mostly with sheep, they went there.
Em destxweş dikin. Gotina te dawiyê çi dibêjî ji me ra? We thank you. What is your final word to us?
Bixodê em jî wek Ronahî TV spas dikin, ev îmkan, ev wextê xwe ji me ra vaqetandin û hatin... By God, we also thank Ronahi TV, for dedicating this possibility, this time of yours to us and coming...
Xwastin li ser va gundî tiştna nas bikin. You wanted to learn some things about this village.
Û va tabî rêya we ra jî hemû însanê me, hemû kurdê li teta temaşe bikin, em spasiya xwe ji we ra jî dikin û her kesê me temaşe bike em ji wan ra dikin. Spas ji we ra. And through you naturally, all our people, all Kurds who watch, we express our thanks to you and to everyone who watches us. Thank you.
Ser çava. You are welcome.
Temaşevanên hêja, me axaftina xwe bi birêz Welî re me darbaskir. Dear viewers, we concluded our conversation with Mr. Wali.
Li vê navê, vê carê, cem serokê meclîs. Meclîsa gundê Kakhere. Merhaba ji te ra. In this interval, this time, [we are] with the head of the council. The Council of the village of Kakhere. Hello to you.
Bi xêr hatin, bi hatina we, ser ser û ser çavan wek hatin gundê Kakhere. Welcome, with your arrival, you are most welcome (on head and on eyes) for coming to the village of Kakhere.
...gundê Kakhere naskirin bidim bi Kurdistanê. ...I will give an introduction of the village of Kakhere to Kurdistan.
Em pir kêfxweşin bi hatina we. Ser ser û ser çava. We are very happy with your arrival. You are most welcome.
Spasî... Mamosta, me got gundê we... gundê bera xûb çi dike? Thanks... Teacher, we said your village... what does the village mostly produce?
No, dibêjin gava tu dibêjî Kakhere, gûz tê ber çavê meran. Now, they say when you say "Kakhere", walnuts come to one's mind/sight.
Ne... û hinda beraq û hinda zeytûn û çi dikin. Bi gûza ye? No... and some [other crops] and some olives and what they do. Is it [known] for walnuts?
Kakhere me'rûf e, naskirî ye bi gûza. Kakhere is famous, known for walnuts.
Û bi zeytûna. And for olives.
Gûz û zeytûn. Û fêkî jî hinek hene. Walnuts and olives. And there are some fruits too.
Wekî mişmişan, sêvan... ê tab'an bejî ne, ne avî ye, ev tiştan. Like apricots, apples... naturally they are dry-farming (rain-fed), not irrigated, these things.
Debara me, 'eyşê me, debara me cem hev tenê em bê av ne. Bejî ye. Our livelihood, our life, our livelihood amongst us, we are just without [irrigated] water. It is dry-farming.
Naskirî ye bi va îş, tiştî... bi gûza. It is known for this work, thing... for walnuts.
Bi va tişta, me'îşetê va miletî piş va tiştî dibe. With these things, the livelihood of this people depends on this thing.
Yanî tikane be li ser zeytûna dijîn û li ser gûza dijîn. Meaning, almost, they live on olives and live on walnuts.
Gûzê we... em kanin teqdîr... merheleyê xwa hene. Your walnuts... can we estimate... they have their stages.
Vêra çi qas darê gûzê heye? How many walnut trees are there here?
Teqrîben dora, ez kanim teqdîr kim, deh-panzdeh hezar, deh hezar darê gûzê gerek hebin. Approximately around, I can estimate, ten-fifteen thousand, ten thousand walnut trees must be there.
Yanî bin... bin heftê ra... Meaning under... under seventy...
Heft hene, pênc, heft, deh... There are seven, five, seven, ten...
Di wa hudûdî da. Me ne hasbandine, di wa hudûdî da ne hema. In that range. We haven't counted them, but they are just in that range.
Her malekê, her malekê pênc dar heye, yê bîst hene, yê sed heye. Yanî hesebî erdê dûr da... Every household, every household has five trees, some have twenty, some have a hundred. Meaning, depending on the land far away...
Vêra we dikin... hûn kanin dabarê xwa tê bidin? Here you do... are you able to provide for your livelihood with it?
Erê, erê le. Dibe. Yes, yes indeed. It works.
Bes ne di bare te bibê, mustewê me'îşî, gelekî... gelekî temam dibe. But not that you would say the standard of living becomes very... very perfect.
Walakîn, ema... xusûsiyat me heye. However, but... we have special characteristics.
Ciyayê me, no bêxêrî derê dûz gwîz dibin, û li çiya jî zeytûn dibe. Our mountain, no offense, but walnuts grow in the flat areas, and olives grow on the mountain.
Xeyrî mentîqê... mentîqê... gi tişt derê hene, gi tişt dibin. Ê me nabe. Unlike the region... the region [where] everything exists there, everything grows. Ours doesn't [grow everything].
Deşta Cûmê heye... There is the Jum plain...
Ema nabe... Ours doesn't happen...
Deşta Hemqe gund hene. There are villages in the Amik plain.
Eywa, bes ema çi ye... ema... Exactly, but what is it... but...
Tama gûzê we çawa ye? How is the taste of your walnuts?
Çawa ye, û çetiniya xwa heye çîçikê. Fe em darê dûz gwîza diçînin. It is how it is, and it has a bit of difficulty. So we plant walnuts in the flat areas.
Welhemdu lillah, Xwedê qenaetek daye vî miletî me yê Kakhere, pê îdare dikin. And praise be to God, God has given a conviction (contentment) to this people of ours in Kakhere, they manage with it.
Ew jî baş e. That is also good.
Ew jî qenaetek daye me, xwa pê îdare dikin. That too, He has given us contentment, they manage themselves with it.
Bi hew jî tişkî pirî rind e. With that too, it is a very good thing.
Ê baş e. That's good.
Mehkûl e. It's reasonable.
Îca, gûzê me, em kanin bê tarê merheleyê xwa hene. So, our walnuts, we can say they have their stages.
Em difiroşin... We sell them...
Teqrîben dora, ez kanim bêjim, deh-panzdeh hezar, deh hezar darê gûzê gerek hebin. Approximately around, I can say, ten-fifteen thousand, ten thousand walnut trees must be there.
Yanî bin... bin heftora, heft hene, pênc, heft, deh... Meaning under... under seven, there are seven, five, seven, ten...
Wa hudûdî da. Me ne hasbandine, di wa hudûdî da ne hema. In that range. We haven't counted them, but they are just in that range.
Her malekê, her malekê pênc dar heye, yê bîst hene, yê sed heye. Yanî hesebî erdê dûr da... Every household, every household has five trees, some have twenty, some have a hundred. Meaning, depending on the land far away...
Erdê me teng e. Mehkûl e. Our land is narrow. It's reasonable.
Mehkûl e. Mesrûfê xwa pir e, întacê xwa jî ze'îf e. It's reasonable. Its expense is high, and its production is also weak.
Fe, bê Xwedê subhanehu we te'ala qenaetek dayî vî miletî me yê Kakhere, boxo pê îdare dikin. So, by God, praise be to Him, He has given a conviction to this people of ours in Kakhere, they manage themselves with it.
Ew jî baş e. That is also good.
Ew jî qenaetek dayî me, xwa pê îdare dikin. That too, He has given us contentment, they manage themselves with it.
Bi hew jî tişkî pirî rind e. With that too, it is a very good thing.
Em jî spasiya te dikin. Emê nuhîna darbasî gund bin. Spasî. We also thank you. We will now proceed into the village. Thanks.
Spas, spas, spas. Thanks, thanks, thanks.
Temaşevanên hêja, leka em darbasî gund bûn, em bêtir naskirin, em çanda vê zêde hîna naskirin. Dear viewers, as we entered the village, we learned more, we learned about this culture even more.
Em nava gund da digerin, em rastî apê... We are walking inside the village, we met Uncle...

Hûn pir, hûn dibên ava bejî... gundê bejî. You are very [much], you say dry-farming water... dry- farming village.
Gelo ava bejî xweştir e yan ava avî? I wonder, is dry-farming water better or irrigated water?
Na, ya bejî xweştir e. No, the dry-farming one is better.
Ya bejî tamxweş e. The dry-farming one is tasty.
Ya avî tenê av e. The irrigated one is just water.
Mîna îsotê... mîna îsotê avî. Like peppers... like irrigated peppers.
Îsotê avî ne tûj e. Irrigated pepper is not hot/spicy.
Ne tûj e, na, na. Not hot, no, no.
Yê bejî tûj e. The dry-farming one is hot.
Yê bejî tûj e. Tamxweş e. Tiştê bejî hemû tamxweş e. The dry-farming one is hot. It is tasty. All dry-farming things are tasty.
Apê, dibêjin dengê bejî jî "isran" e. Uncle, they say the voice of the dry-farming [people] is also "resonant/loud".
Eeee, dengê bejî jî isran e. Yeaah, the voice of the dry-farming people is also resonant.
Emê stranek ji te bixwazin. We will ask for a song from you.
