Sax bin, sibeta we xêr û xweş, ev cara yekê me dîtîn, hûn… Be well, good and pleasant morning to you, this is the first time we've seen each other, you...
Me got em derbasî gundê Edamo bibin, em a destpêkê jî em derbasî cem we bûn, me dît hûn li vir kar dikin li vira… We said let's go to Edamo village, and first of all we came to you, we saw you working here...
Li ser sera û li ser çava û em we spas dikin, û ya ehlen we sehlen, bi oxir û welet rê. Me we dît, we em ziyaret kirin, serê me bi we bilind e. Û em pir kêfxweş in. Upon my head and eyes, and we thank you, and welcome, you have brought goodness. We saw you, you visited us, our heads are held high because of you. And we are very happy.
Em jî kêfxweş dibin. Niha ev der quntar e li vir e ne? Ev quntara çi ye hûn dibêjinê? We are happy as well. Now this place is a valley here, isn't it? What valley do you call it?
Quntara Mîstik e. Quntara Mîstik wê ra dibêjin. It is the Mistik Valley. They call it the Mistik Valley.
Yanî bi giştî gundê, erdnîgariya gund, emaret dikin? So in general the village, the village's geography, are they cultivating it?
Na ev quntar a bi navê xwe diçe. No, this valley goes by its own name.
Na ev deştên li vir dibin çi, navê xwe deşta çi ye? No, these plains here, what is the name of the plain?
Deşta Wêranşarê wê ra dibêjin, bes, deşta Wêranşarê û deşta Edamo yanî. They call it the Wêranşar Plain, well, the Wêranşar Plain and the Edamo Plain.
Yanî bi kîjan alî tê naskirin? Deşta Edamo tê naskirin an ya Wêranşarê? So by which name is it known? Is it known as the Edamo Plain or Wêranşar?
Bi deşta Edamo jî tê naskirin, bi deşta Wêranşarê jî tê naskirin. It is known as the Edamo Plain, and it is known as the Wêranşar Plain as well.
Ji kîjan alî, kîjan alî… ev… From which side to which side... this...
Toximê me, Qerebaba da hudûdê me qerebaba ye, wê ra dibêjin Kurta Qereço Elî. Ha ev toximê me ye, û başûr e û… Our border is Qerebaba, our border is Qerebaba, they call it Kurta Qerecho Eli. This is our border, and the south is...
Bakurê me jî? And our north?
Bakurê me jî Mele Xelîl e, Meydan Ekbez e… Our north is Mele Xelil, Meydan Ekbez...
Na Meydan Ekbez na, nagihîje Meydan Ekbeze deşta me? No, not Meydan Ekbez, our plain doesn't reach Meydan Ekbez?
Deşta Sêmal e, wê ra dibêjin, tirbe hene li vir derê, tirbeya Axmeşo heta hewa hedûdê me û Sêmal e. It's the Sêmal Plain, they call it that, there are tombs here, the tomb of Axmesho, up to there is our border with Sêmal.
Ji alî da jî gundê Meydan Ekbez e… And on that side is Meydan Ekbez village...
Gundê Sêmal, paşê tê Meydan Ekbez erê. Deşta me, yanî deşta Sêmal, paşê tê Meydan Ekbez. Sêmal village, then comes Meydan Ekbez, yes. Our plain, I mean Sêmal Plain, then comes Meydan Ekbez.
Belê. Qewet be ji we ra. Niha Apê Mihemed gundiyên we, çi li vir diçînin? Wek navê zeviyan na, navê erdê na? Yes. Strength to you. Now Uncle Mihemed, what do your villagers plant here? Like, not the names of the fields or the land?
Welleh em genim diçînin. Em berberûka diçînin. Yanî kaffet el-enwa zirae tiştê ku hebe giştî dibe. Well, we plant wheat. We plant sunflowers. That is, all kinds of agriculture, whatever there is, everything grows.
Hinik jî ava diçînin, hinek jî bejî diçînin. Some plant irrigated crops, some plant rain-fed.
Ekteriya me, selef, êtimadî me li ser ava reş bû, ava reş dihat. Motora avê me hawî dikişandin û xertûm me dirêj dikir, em pê zirata xwe av didin. Bes noka elhemdulillah her cih bîr hene. Kulan e, ekteriya xwe li ser bîra tê şandin noka ev… Most of us, previously, relied on the black water, the black water would flow. We would run water motors and stretch out hoses, we would water our crops with it. But now, thank God, there are wells everywhere. They are dug, mostly they are irrigated from the wells now this...
Ev derî we kolane? Have you dug here?
Deşta me gulo re, vê derê me, deşta me kulo ye ber zeftê ra, eh em nav erdê xwe da bûye çi da kulo ye. Our plain is all... this area of ours, our plain is fully dug with wells, uh, in our land whatever there is is a well.
Û umur dimeşe alhemdulilah. Û ev ava hîn a tê ji sikra dîn e? And life goes on, thank God. And does this water still come from that dam?
Na noka ev beed feterat na, dêtê… Her deh pênc roj carê ku tê, pênc roja berdidin… No, now after periods it doesn't come... Every ten, fifteen days it comes once, they release it for five days...
Teb'en li me ra ber nadin, hema ew ji xwedê re berdidin, em nizanin me'niya çamqê pê penbe di derî xwe ava didin, çeltîkê xwe ava didin, em jî li vê derê istîfade dibînin jê. Of course they don't release it for us, they release it for God's sake, we don't know the reason why they water their cotton, they water their rice, we also benefit from it here.
Zaten ew ji benda avê tê, ji Kilisê, ji wî alî te derbasî Bakur dibe. It already comes from the dam, from Kilis, from that side it crosses into the North.
Ji islehhiyeyê tê, eh. Paşî tê, noka jî, vê fetreyê jî, qut kirine. It comes from Islahiye, yes. Then it comes, now also, this period too, they have cut it off.
Beriya vê, ez hatim gundê Sêmal av hebû, bes hirî av tinebû reş bû. Before this, I came to Sêmal village, there was water, but before that there was no water, it was black.
Temam me got, her dehe pênc roja feterake qut dikin. Qey ew ji wan e ku pêwîstiya gundiya nebe li ser, mera ber nadin, me'niya xwe berdidin. Exactly, we said, every ten to fifteen days they cut it off for a period. It must be that they think the villagers don't need it, they don't release it for us, they release it for their own reasons.
Li vê derê tu teleb nekin, se- ber nadin. Here if they don't request it, they don't release it.
Bîstaniya me xera bibûna, çi bibûna na xema wa giyan e. Hema xwe ra berdidin. If our orchards were ruined, whatever happened, they wouldn't care. They just release it for themselves.
Bes nawa qe na xeme ku va bîra kola ne… But now they don't have to worry since these wells are dug...
Lê me bîr kulane em elhemdulilleh em qelê xwe dikin hemû pêwîstiya gundiyan ra. But we have dug wells, thank God, we manage it for all the needs of the villagers.
Ê Apê Mihemed ev nawa çî û çawa diçînin? Nava kundir in e? So Uncle Mihemed, now what do they plant and how? Now there are melons?
Noka, bidayîya gundê, ê buharê, ê buharê, teb'en ce ye, genim e, silq in e, nîk in e, li vir û şûnda, berberok jî em diçînin… Now, at the beginning of the village, in the spring, in the spring, of course it's barley, it's wheat, it's chard, it's chickpeas, and after that, we plant sunflowers too...
Axirî biharê, axirî biharê em berberok diçînin, berberok jî pir in, dibin, ceh û me têne rakirin, ba'dî vê tiştî li me ra kur şûn da mehwsimê me… tê mehwsimê xerîfî. At the end of spring, at the end of spring we plant sunflowers, sunflowers are plentiful, they grow, barley and wheat are harvested, after this thing behind us our season... comes the autumn season.
Xeyar, em ekteriya xwe xeyar diçînin, em kundirî mîst diçînin, ber ku… Cucumbers, we mostly plant cucumbers, we plant small melons, because...
Di vê demê de? At this time?
Di vê demê de teb'en… ev payîzokî ye, noka ev xiyarên ha ev payîzokî ye. Ev kundirên ha… Em kundirên sehhî, destpêkê biharê ne… At this time, of course... this is autumnal, now these cucumbers, this is autumnal. These melons... We have actual melons, at the beginning of spring...
Bes payîz e jî dibin, yanî noka şûnda diçênîn ev jî dibin, û xeyar dibin, xît e diçînin… But they grow in autumn too, I mean, we plant them now and they grow too, and cucumbers grow, snake cucumbers are planted...
Nacih e yanî, xêr e. Kurbaya me zîde ye. Noka xêr e deşta me û deşta me de meydanek be ze, xeyar namîşin. It is successful, I mean, it is a blessing. Our soil is rich. Now thankfully in our plain and Meydan Ekbez plain, cucumbers don't fail.
Wek vî deştê zexm nîn e yanî, wisa ku wexta ku ew nebe wa nabe, nexweşî ew… It isn't as strong as this plain, meaning, like when it doesn't grow, it just doesn't, disease or...
Wê da ba, a reş û te wê da her cendire se'der da nakin, bişînin, xêr e, xerbiyê xwe pir e. Over there, the black water and all, over there with every type of plant they can't grow it, they send it, thank God, it gets plenty of western wind.
Her wiha deşt a Hemqê deşt a Cûmê… Ji vê ra pir çê nabe yanî… Also the Hemq Plain, the Jum Plain... It doesn't grow well here, I mean...
Çê nabe, xerbiyê xwe pir e. Hawa jê da mêş û xerbî nabin. It doesn't grow, the western wind is too much. With the air there, insects and the western wind don't let it.
Wek Behra Entakye ji vê re derbas… Like the Sea of Antioch passes through here...
Ekîd wa ne ye. Lênê hawa domîş xerbî nabe, di domîş şilbiyê nabin jê xira dibe. For sure it's like that. But without the western wind, without moisture it doesn't work, it spoils.
Tıştê herî ciwan û baş ku dibe çi ye? What is the most beautiful and best thing that grows?
Welehî e qeder bîr me, gû tışt e ba, me berî vê pembû diçan, pembûyî me ulab derdiket. By God, as much as we remember, whatever it was, we used to plant cotton before this, our cotton would come out great.
Lê erdiyê me kûr in, erdiyê me xedar in, erdiyê me yanî seyin tace te di de. Because our lands are deep, our lands are strong, our lands give you yield.
Ku seyî zanin yeek gî zebeşî xizmetî bike, em di tucar erdan re ra dikin. Nokê şûna wê genim min kiriye xiyar. If a person knows how to take care of watermelons properly, we can do commerce on the lands. Now instead of wheat I've planted cucumbers.
Ev a min bi qesir gênim em ê lê bidin. I will cut this like wheat.
De behsa pembû bike, berê Efrînê pir pembû diçan, naha kes naçîne, pir kêm e… Come on, talk about cotton, Afrin used to plant a lot of cotton, now no one plants it, it's very rare...
E na mehlîce neman der neman, kesî istîlam bike, teslîm bibin, kesî teslîm kirin, istîlam bihe tenê ye… Eh no, there are no cotton gins left, no places left, no one to receive it, to deliver it, whoever delivered it, to receive it is the only thing...
Bi dehan cezîre dar e hemî pembû diçandin yanî. With dozens of islands of trees, they used to plant all cotton, I mean.
Hele… Ê xeyo mehlîce divê derê hene, zeyt mektebe di gel de hene… Yes... Brother, there are cotton gins here, there are olive oil presses with them...
Çima we zeytûn? Why did you [plant] olives?
Cema Zeytûn jî pir in e erê, bes ne we me pembû jî diçan, bo deştan û xerciyê pênc bîrî, pembû jî rind e necahî ye. The olive crowd is also large, yes, but not like we used to plant cotton too, for the plains and the expense of five wells, cotton is also good and successful.
Bes her kî wa meşa kûne bîna dar bînin, kesek ma teslîm bivê hîtê na ye pembû. But whoever walks that way and brings trees, there's no one left to deliver it to, so cotton didn't continue.
Naha wa tu behsa xeyare jî. Xeyare jî dibin… Now you're talking about cucumbers too. Cucumbers grow as well...
Na xeyara… Xeyara pirr in necih in ceme. No, cucumbers... Cucumbers are very successful for us.
Xeyara licema dibin û deştî me de nebe deştî me de meydanê dibin feqet la xer. Cucumbers grow with us, and if not in our plain, they grow in the plain of Meydan [Ekbez], strictly there.
Ta bedî te baha ziraate ke te gû çi di çîn in. Me hincîra di çandin ne na cîha ne. Me hinar ço dın e, nêcî hîne. Deştî ne dîn tê ki zengîn in. So after you talk about agriculture, you said what do they plant. We planted figs, they are not successful. We planted pomegranates, they are not successful. Our plain is a place that is rich.
Zeytûnî ku, ncî hene. Yanê bawan deşt a birro noke. Û na deşt gî yanî. Olives are successful. Meaning these plains can grow them now. And not every plain, I mean.
Tu deşta wext we çi na hên e. In your plain, when you don't bring anything.
Na evan fêqiya, evan darê fêqiya wek sêv… No, these fruits, these fruit trees like apples...
Fêqiyê havinê? Şeftelî û ê wisa… Summer fruit? Peaches and things like that...
Tu nîn e ha. Tu nîn e. None at all. None.
Wisa ne wisa… Like this, not like this...
Vê da dîse çend ne, hona çendin yane di çîn me kerd. Yanî tibe çi di deşt a cim a he be. There, again they plant some, they planted some there, I mean we did it. I mean whatever there is in the Cume Plain.
Yanî natîbiçê li deşta Cûmê hebe. I mean, they don't bring what is in the Cume Plain.
Ne tinene, îna nokim ne o tîne, hewna pa te te dar e di çîne, na xiyar ceme ne mêşîne. Xiyar cema na mêşîne. Hemt e da deşt qirra wî bi wa gije mene necehin. There aren't any, here I won't say I bring them, they plant trees there, but cucumbers don't fail here. Cucumbers don't fail for us. Even the Qereba plain is not successful like this place.
Ezi ji xatirê xwe ji te bixwazim. Quwet be ji we ra. I would like to say goodbye to you. Strength to you.
Silavet xweş. Spas ji we re. Nice greetings. Thank you.
Xatirê te. Goodbye.
Bi selamet. Ehlen û sehlen. Em spas dikin. Oxir û welet. Saetên we xweş. We em zîyaret kirin. Pir bi kêfxweşî. Go in peace. Welcome. We thank you. You have brought goodness. Have a good time. You visited us. With great pleasure.
Em jî spas dikin. We thank you too.
Şêniyên gund da barajiyana xwe bi çandiniyê dikin. Ji xwedîkirina zeviyên zeytûnan, baxçeyên sebzeyan û dexilê. The residents of the village make their living through agriculture. From tending to olive groves, vegetable gardens, and grain.
Di gel çandiniyê, hîn malbat, sewalên jî xwedî dikin. Û debara jiyana malbata xwe, jê peyda dikin. Along with agriculture, some families also raise livestock. And they provide for their family's living from it.
Terzîxaneyek bi nav û deng li Efrînê heye, ku baştirîn xortên gund li vir dixebitin. There is a famous tailoring shop in Afrin, where the best young men of the village work here.
Her wiha hejmarek ji jin û mêran wek karmend di sazî û desteyên Rêveberiya Xweser da, li Raco û Efrînê dixebitin. Furthermore, a number of men and women work as employees in the institutions and boards of the Autonomous Administration in Raco and Afrin.
Dayê merheba ji we re. Mother, hello to you.
Merheba. Hello.
Em destpêkê we nas bikin? Can we get to know you first?
Henîfe. Henife.
Ser çava. Upon my eyes.
Emîne. Emine.
Xweşî ser çavê min. Gladly, upon my eyes.
Faîze. Faize.
Xweşî ser çavê min. Gladly, upon my eyes.
Dayê destên we sax bin. Mother, bless your hands.
Yê te jî sax bin. Yours too.
Va jî tiştekî xwemalî ye, tiştê xwe yi ji we jîna rêt çiya diya xwa wek ku jê aniye. Ka hinek ji me ra qala wê bike û çi hazir kirine va? This is also something homemade, your own thing that you have kept from your mother just as she brought it. So tell us a bit about it and what have they prepared here?
Ha va, torosê me ye, ha va dayîka me ji pişta me hane kiriye. This, this is our heritage, this our mother kept for us from behind.
Ev a zihnet a da me, ku hane bikin. Me jî kir aqilê xwe û me kir. Ne? This is a craft that they gave us to do. We also kept it in mind and we did it. Right?
Ha va mehnî nezer e, yak… Û bihundura… Riza lek, ew ta yî gund, li çi dibin, û em li mal diçînin. Eşt a ha va karê me ye. Ne? This is to ward off the evil eye, one... And inside... Riza lek, the threads of the village, what they are used for, and we weave at home. This is our work. Right?
Erê. Ê dayê, bi rastî ev a… Yes. So mother, really this...
Me ra di derbasbûna gund da bê, te dîtin her malekê da heye yan na? Tell us about when you pass through the village, did you see if it's in every house or not?
Lê me ra gund da, yanî tebî tebî di pirran da heye. Well, in our village, naturally, it's in most houses.
Yanî paş û pêşiya bûkê jî dişewitînin. Da utîne. They even burn it behind and in front of the bride. Then they bring it.
Ew ji bo çi ye? What is that for?
Ev ji bo çav e. Bûk çav nebin. That is for the evil eye, so the bride doesn't catch the evil eye.
Na, dema derê bûkê anîna? No, when they bring the bride to the door?
Wextî li dîdanê anîna. Yes, when they show her, and then bring her.
Berê lê naha? In the past or now?
Berê jî û noka jî. In the past, and also now.
Dema berê bûk li hespê da dikirin û dadanîn... In the past, when they would put the bride on a horse and bring her...
Dîsa wisa dikirin. Wextî dadanîn hundirî, They did the same. When they would bring her inside,
dîsa di pêşîyê de dişewitandin. again they would burn it in front of her.
Me'neya wê çav e. Its meaning is the evil eye.
Na. Ev e? No. What is this?
Ev e, zenaeta dêka min e. This is, you know, my mother's craft.
Û li mala xwe hane dikirin û bi hundirê xwe ve xistin. And for us... they put it inside the door.
Ê ji bo nezerê hûn çi çêdikin? Başqeyî wê tiştekî din jî heye? And for the evil eye, what do you make? Is there anything else besides this?
Na. Na. No. No.
Silav, em vî darikî çawa çêdikin? Greetings, how do we make this stick?
Paşê em vê û vê ve çêdikin, ewê gindor... Later we make it with this and this, the round one...
Vê, vê û vê. This, this and this.
Paşê em benikê tê ra dikin. Then we put the string through it.
Û ez paşê jê ra vedixim. Vê benîkê jî çêdikin... And later I set it up. They also make this string...
Ez tê da vedixim. I put it through it.
Û ev dar derdixin. And they take this stick out.
Di her hundirê gund da heye? Is it in every house in the village?
Malan da heye. Di pirran da heye, di hinek da nîne. Gundiya da nîne. It is in the houses. Most have it, some don't. In the villages, it's not.
Bes mala gundê we da di hemûyan da, di gundiyan da hebû? But in the houses of your village, did everyone in the village have it?
Welleh ez nizanim, ev demên berê bûn. By God, I don't know, these were the old times.
Yanî ez zanim noka li mala me da heye, lê li malên din da tune. I mean, I know we have it in our house now, but in other houses there isn't.
Ne. Bes ev rind e, ji bo çi te çêdikir? No. But this is nice, why did you make it?
Ev e... ev rinde. This is, this is nice.
Ev tiştek e wek... Navê wê çi ye? This is something like... What is its name?
Na... No...
Tu karî di rojekê da çêkî, qedî? Can you finish making it in one day?
Na le... No...
Di saetekê qedî? Does it finish in an hour?
Du saet, sê saet meriv dida ser dadiqediya. A person works on it for two, three hours to finish.
Dayîka te tiştek ji te ra çêdikir? Did your mother make some for you?
Lê. Yes.
Dayîka min ji min ra çêdikir, em piçek jê hîn bûn. My mother used to make it for me, we learned a little from her.
Te ji keça xwe ra jî hîn kir? Did you teach it to your daughter too?
Welle keça min nizane. Keçeke min bi tenê heye, ew jî nizane. By God, my daughter doesn't know. I only have one daughter, and she doesn't know either.
Min hîn nekir. I didn't teach her.
Tiştek dayîka te çi bîra te bûye? Yanî dema dayîka te tiştek bi kar dianî û çêdikir, ew bîra te bûye? What do you remember from your mother? I mean, when your mother used to use and make something, do you remember that?
Tiştek bîra min nebûye. I don't remember anything.
Hûn hemû tiştan çêdikin? Do you make all the things?
Lê lê. Yes, yes.
Em vî cilî çêdikin. Em vê benê çêdikin. We make this rug now. We make this yarn now.
Yanî gelê, pênc şeş mînak şol çêdikim. I mean, you used to do about five types of work.
Ez dixwazim bipirsim, You, you... I want to ask,
Dayîka te ji ben hez dikir? Did your mother also prepare the string?
Ka ji min ra hinek behsa ben bikî. Can you tell me a little bit about the string?
Behsa ben, em diheriyan dirêstin. About the string, we used to spin it.
Em diçûn dar ji bo wê dikirin. We went to fetch wood for it.
Hûn li kuderê bo wê dar dikirin? Where did you fetch wood for it?
Li çiyayê gundê me da. Wekî Raco, wekî Efrînê, di çiyayê wan de heyebû. In the mountains of our village. Like Raco, like Afrin, they were in the mountains there.
Dê û bavê me bo me çêdikirin. Our parents used to make it for us.
Me'neya wê, da bibe hîmê mala mîrê xwe. Aslê xwe neherime. Its meaning is that it becomes the foundation of her husband's house. So she doesn't ruin her roots.
Ê, ev benê we bi xwe çêkiriye? And, did you make this string yourselves?
Me bi xwe çêkiriye. Me zanîbû em, yanî wextê em derdiketin, ji me ra heft korik bi ben dikirin. We made it ourselves. Yes, we knew it, I mean when we were leaving, they made seven loops with string for us.
Ji bo me'neya wê hûn jî bigihêjin heftan, ev her tim divê ha çêbibe. Because its meaning is that you also reach seven, this will always be like this.
Ji bo çi ye divê ha çêbibe? Why should it be like this?
Ew me'neye, ta pêşê da. This means, they gave a thread first.
Pê nafê, te mehkem dibe. With the navel, you become strong.
Li xwe neherime. So she doesn't get ruined.
Yanî, divê ew wisa çêbikin? You mean, they must make it like that?
hawa na, dema tu kal dikin, Like no, when they get old,
bi dasiyan çêdikin, they make it with a sickle,
û tevlî hev dikin, dikin ben. and they mix it together, they make string.
Me'neya wê tu hişk debî. Its meaning is that you should be strong.
Me'neya wê we nabe. Its meaning is it won't be like that.
Ê, ev yanî, taybet ji bo çi çêdikirin vî benî? And, this I mean, what did they especially make this string for?
Ji bo pêçan. Cîhizê gundê da, mala piştî gundê, pê mala xwe bar kirin. For swaddling. The dowry in the village, the house behind the village, they loaded their house with it.
Berê bavê wan, bavê wî bar dikirin. Bûk dihat û cîhiz. Bûk û zava tenê bûn. In the past, their father, his father would load it. The bride came with the dowry. There was only the bride and the groom.
Pê cîhizê gundê da, tiştên gundê pê diştandin. With the dowry in the village, they tied the village things with it.
Yanî dema dêyek çêdikir, ji keça xwe ra çêdikir. I mean when a mother made it, she made it for her daughter.
Erê, ji keça xwe ra çêdikir. Wextê keça xwe derxist didayê. Yes, she made it for her daughter. When her daughter was leaving, she gave it to her.
Me'neya çûyîna mala xwe. Me'neya wê... The meaning of going to her house. Its meaning...
Ber bi çava mala xwe ne dida? Why didn't she give it to her house?
Ev bi qîzê xwe da derbas bû. This was passed to her daughter.
Pê rekoyê jî. With the swaddle too.
Tev rûbên gundê da derxistin. Paşê nedan. With all the village clothes, they took it out. Then they didn't give it back.
Gundiya ewa dikirin, yanî malbata kê kur dibe, gundiya radikirin? The villagers used to do that, I mean, the family of whoever had a son, the villagers would take it?
Kê kur dikir, lê kî bi kok be wê radikir. Lê rana dikir... Whoever had a boy, but whoever was strong would pick her up. But if they didn't...
Dirakir. Zanî saxiye. Guh nedan. Zanî nexweşiya wê bûkê... They would pick her up. They knew she was healthy. They ignored it. They knew the illness of that bride...
Ê wisa, wisa dibû. And so, it was like that.
Hawa jî hebû. Tecrûbeya gundê pêk dihat... There was that too. A village experience was happening...
Tecrûbeyeke zehf dirêj çêkir. She had a very long experience.
Erê. Yes.
Kûrî berê biquwet rabûn. Pê tiştên xwa diştandin. The boys in the past grew up strong. They used to tie their things with it.
Pê mislê yek pê radibû, yek pişkek di navê da... Like for example one would get up with it, one would put a piece in the middle...
Wekî tiştê berê, mirov xurt nebûn. Like the things in the past, people were not strong.
Pê diştandin, dianîn malê. They tied it with it, brought it home.
Li malê biniştana, radikirina, gerek ku bî e di şandina... At home if they sat down, if they picked it up, if they had to they would send it...
Ê tune. Cîranan dihatin daxwaz meselen, didanê. And if they didn't have it. Neighbors would come and ask for it for example, they gave it.
Hawa jî çêdibû. It happened like that too.
Em nizanim ev dem maye, ne me yek kiriye. Tiştkî rastin, gî çêdikin, cî bi we dikin. I don't know if this time has remained, we haven't done it. True things, they make all, they do things with it.
Yanî ji bo hîmê karê çi di malê da heye pê dikirin? I mean, did they do it with it for the foundation of whatever work is in the house?
Teqicikên jinan hildigirtin, berê diçûn şalakan. They picked up women's spindles, they used to go to swaddling.
Şalekan ji wî benî. Swaddling with that string.
Belê. Şalakan. Yes. Swaddling.
Erê. Pê jinan dikirin. Tiştina navda. Yes. The women did it with it. Things inside.
Pê me'nî korê xwe vebikin. With the meaning to open their loops.
Pê xurî xweş tişt dikin. They do nice things with wool.
Li xwe neherimin. So they don't get ruined.
Ya wisa jî. It's like that too.
Xwestiya bi wan nedada, em dizanin lê dayika te tiştên ha ra çêkiriye? The suitor didn't give to them, we know but did your mother make these things for you?
Na. No.
Lê? No?
Dibên, yanî xêra dêka te, xesûya te, vî benî te re çêkir? They say, I mean the goodness of your mother, your mother- in-law, did she make this string for you?
Yanî me ewe xwe nîne, bas çe... I mean we don't have it ourselves, but what...
Şûrek li me da dixistin. They struck us with a sword.
Yanî her malekê gerek benekî wisa hebe? I mean, does every house need to have such a string?
Erê, her malekê gerek benekî wê hebe. Xêra te qîzê xwe da, gerek korikî xwe girtibe. Yes, every house needs to have its own string. For the goodness of your daughter, she must have held her loop.
Ger tu nizanîbî ew çi ye, dê bêjin dêka te ji min re ev banê te re çêkiriye. If you don't know what it is, they will say your mother made this string for you.
Xêra te... Qîz kê ban dasti dayîkê da, bal mirov kor e. Your goodness... The girl who tied the mother's string, is blind among people.
Bi keça me re jî mezin e. Gundekî xirîb e. She is also big with our daughter. It's a foreign village.
Ka mera carek bi dayê ji bo... Dayê merhaba, çawa yî? Te carê de. Come tell us once about the mother... Hello mother, how are you?
Ehlan we sehlan. Çawa yî? Welcome. How are you?
Tu karî hinek tiştên me re, ser karî xwe, deng kî? Can you talk to us a bit about your work?
Ez vê tenşîyê darêsim. Benan çêdikim. I am spinning this thread. Making strings.
Kurkên me hevin... We have jackets...
Ev ci, bi dayîkê xwe fêr bû? Dayîkê te jî pêş de te te çêdikir. Who learned this from their mother? Your mother also made it for you before.
Pênîr çêdikim. Şîr genim dikim. Dimeyînim. I make cheese. I make milk and wheat. I ferment it.
Qîza te re jî ben ha di dayê? Did you give such a string to your daughter too?
Min tev dabin e.. Tev dayê. I gave it to all. I gave it.
Têşen şitê. You wash it.
Ben, daran. Ew mezin min elman... Banaan wekî wan. Strings, woods. That big one... Strings like them.
Wa te çil, cila çêdikir derî da? Cila li hemî gundiya berî dayîkê beri hamî cila çêdikir, qê jî çêdikir? Did you make clothes outside? Did you make clothes for all the villagers before, did she make all the clothes?
Çêdikirin ok jî. Çênekirin. They made that too. They didn't make it.
Çêdikirin cil û cubik ji çêdikir. They made clothes and coats too.
Hav. Kerem bike. This. Here you go.
Espasi xwe re. Saeta te xweş. Thank you. Bless your time.
Sata te xweş be. Xweda ji te razî be. Bless your time. May God be pleased with you.
