Apo Hemze, me xwest em destpêkê hinekî ser gund... Uncle Hamze, we wanted to [ask] a bit about the village first...
Navê gundê we... Berê gundê we li vir bû, li cîkî din bû? The name of your village... Was your village here before, or in another place?
Gundê we çiqas mal e? How many houses is your village?
Berê gundê we li vir bû? Was your village previously here?
Berê gundî me li deşta Dûlê bû. Previously, our village was in the Dule plain.
Tiştê Dûlê bû. Mal hindik bûn, nasî pez bûn. It was [in] Dule. The houses were few, they were shepherds (sheep owners).
Li wî derê av çîçikek kêm bû, wetan ûrmanî Çêqilme... In that place water was a bit scarce, the homeland was the Cheqilme forest...
Ser kaniya geliyê Hecî Elî rabûbûn, avê xwe pir bû, nasî pez bûn tizanê. They rose up to the spring of Haji Eli valley, its water was plentiful, they were shepherds, you know.
Li wêrê jî hatin va gundî, me'nî avê, dewarê xwe pir bû... From there they came to this village, because of the water, their cattle were many...
Û li vê derê, yanî tarîxa gund em nebîn, bi hezar sale, yan mêj da ye yanî. And in this place, meaning the history of the village, let's not say a thousand years, but it is from long ago.
Yanî berê li tekûl kuderê, destpêkê? Meaning, where exactly was it before, in the beginning?
Li deşta Dûlê bû. It was in the Dule plain.
Ew kûderê dikeve? Where is that located?

Ew jî çola deşt e? Is that also a desert plain?
De... rêk têra derbas... deşta Meydanê tê, mantiqê... bes çol e, dûr çîyayê me xwe çol e. Pl... a road passes through... the Meydan plain comes, the area... but it is a wasteland, far from our mountains it is a wasteland.
Li wî derê çîçike dewar pir bûn, çûn û bes hatin va ser va benî... em dibên bena T'etû... In that place cattle were numerous, they went and just came to this side, to this foothill... we call it the Tetu foothill...

Xêr dibû ûrmanî Çêqilme, dewarê xwe pir bû, pezê xwe pir bû, şîr mastê xwe pir bû... It was bountiful, the Cheqilme forest, their cattle were many, their sheep were many, their milk and yogurt were plentiful...
Wek nuke serf nedibû, î heye dirrîjandin, çû dikirin... nav lê kirin ûrmanî Çêqilme. It wasn't consumed like now, whatever there was they poured out, they did things... they named it Cheqilme forest.
Li vê derê jî, hinek do hatin viro, di vê derê da cî kirin, me'nî va avê, rind kaniya heye. And to this place, some came here again, they settled in this place, because of this water, there is a good spring.
Avê xwe pir bû. Its water was plentiful.
Û pezê xwe pir bû, penîr dikirin, der dikirin, îşî wana wa. And their sheep were many, they made cheese, they produced it, that was their job.
Yanî berê dagî navê gundî her Panerekê bû, yan piştre hate guhertin? Meaning, was the name of the village always Panerako before, or was it changed later?

Destpêkê xwe Panerekê ye. Its beginning is Panerako.
Destpêkê da wextî hatine deşta Dûlê, navê xwe Panerekê ye. In the beginning when they came to the Dule plain, its name was Panerako.
Yanî sê ciyê gund hatiye guhertin, nav timî Panerekê ye? Meaning the village location changed three times, but the name is always Panerako?
Sê merhele... gewrîn (guherrîn)... heta nuke viro, tim Panerekê ye navê xwe. Three stages... changed... until now here, its name is always Panerako.

Gundê Panerekê girêdayî navçeya Reco ya kantona Efrînê ye. The village of Panerako is attached to the Rajo district of the Afrin canton.
Nêzî 30 kîlometreyan li bakur rojavayê bajarê Efrînê dikeve. It is located approximately 30 kilometers northwest of the city of Afrin.
Û 4 kîlometreyan li rojhilatê bajarokê Meydan Ekbez dikeve. And it is located 4 kilometers east of the town of Meydan Ekbez.
Berê gund girêdayî navçeya Bilbilê bû. Previously, the village was attached to the Bulbul district.
Jiber ku xelkê gund berê xwedî pez bûn, û bi çêkirina penêr gund navdar bû, navê Panerekê lê hate kirin. Because the villagers previously owned sheep, and the village was famous for cheese making, it was named Panerako.
Berê gund li deverekê bi navê Xerabê Demircî bû. Before, the village was in a place called Xerabê Demircî.
Piştre xelkê gund hatin li derdora kaniya niştecî bûn, ango cihê gund ê niha. Later, the villagers came and settled around the spring, meaning the current location of the village.
Gundê Panerekê gundekî kevnar e, û temenê wî ta bihêtirî nîv sedsal diçe. Panerako village is an ancient village, and its age goes back more than half a century.
Ew gundekî sînorî ye, û nêzî 300 metre ji sînorê bakur ve dikeve. It is a border village, and lies approximately 300 meters from the northern border.
Lewma gelek caran leşkerên Tirk hewldanên destwerdana rewş avadikin. Therefore, Turkish soldiers often create attempts to interfere with the situation.
Jiber van kiryaran, cotkar nikarin bi hewle derbasî baxçe û zeviyên xwe bibin. Due to these actions, farmers cannot easily access their gardens and fields.

Erê. Yes.
Ne... me got em ê bên bin vê darê... û sûqa we jî livir e? No... we said we would come under this tree... is your market (gathering place) here too?
We livir dikutin? Did you pound (grain) here?
Em tên danê xwe dikutin, îşta dibin dikin şorbe, dikin kutok, dikin tirşik. We come and pound our grain, then we take it and make soup, make "kutok" (pounded grain dish), make stew.
Dengûbaskê dikin. We gossip (exchange news).
Yek mezinên me hana çi dikirin, û îşta em hana tên li bin vê darê rûdinên, em dicivin. Whatever our elders used to do like this, now we come like this and sit under this tree, we gather.
Û em sûqê xwe, danê xwe, av dikin û em îşta dikinî û dikutin. And we water our grain at the gathering place, and now we do it and pound it.

Delîb jî heye? Is there a "delîb" (see-saw/swing used for games) too?
Delîb heye li jûr, yumkîn xarokirine de hîn heye... heye delîb li jûr heye. There is a delîb up there, maybe they have ruined (dismantled) it but it still exists... yes, there is a delîb up there.

Danê xwe, her yekî tenekokî heydî teneka dibirin. Their grain, everyone had a tin can, they carried the tins.

Berê stran na, nadikirin. Stran... nizanim, î heye... dang kir... î heye nizanî gotim... Before songs no, they didn't do it. Songs... I don't know, someone... made a sound... someone didn't know I said...
Yanî ji xwe ra dihatin dikutin, dilûrandin, î heye, îşta xwe ra ceng dikirin. Meaning, they came and pounded for themselves, they hummed/trilled, someone was there, they just entertained themselves.
Çîrok xeber didan. They told stories.
Û danê xwe dikutin, her kes diçû mala xwe. And they pounded their grain, everyone went to their home.

Him him dan e, dan kutan e, sûq kevir e. Ew jî tiştin wusa gotin. The "thump thump" of the grain, grain pounding, the market stone. She said things like that too.
No, berxê min, xarê... erê... No, my lamb, down... yes...
Erê ew jî behsa kir. Yes, she mentioned it too.
Bi her mantiqokê aqilê xwe yanî mesela... tiştekî ro kiriye û... With every logic of their own mind, meaning for example... they created something and...
Gelek stran li ser evê hene, sûqana. There are many songs about this, these market stones.

E dayîka te jî da klaman? And did your mother sing songs too?
Dayîka min... dayîka min pir beqîret bû, û dayîka min ne dida klaman. Bavê min dida klaman. My mother... my mother was very capable/hardworking, and my mother didn't sing songs. My father sang songs.
Bavê te klam digotin? Your father sang songs?
Dida klaman, ji xwe ra dida klaman. He sang songs, he sang songs for himself.

Erê ro derbas be, erê. Yes, for the day to pass, yes.
E îşta... korê berê hebû... ez berê hevin. And well... there was the kerosene lamp before... I am from before [those times].

Diçûn pale, diçûn hej îzing dianîn. They went to harvest, went and brought firewood.
Tarî xeber dim? Am I speaking obscurely?

Em nêzîkî kaniyê bûn. We were close to the spring.
Va kaniya a gund e, a Panîreka ye, li ortê gund e, serê şerqê gund e, ortê gund gelî da ye. This spring is of the village, of Penereka, it's in the middle of the village, at the eastern head of the village, in the middle of the village in the valley.
Ev kaniya emrê min bû teqrîben 60 sal, min ne dî salekê hişk bû. This spring, my age is roughly 60 years, I haven't seen it dry up for a single year.
Û du boriya wê hene, û î sisê jî îhtiyate, avê xwe pir dibe sed, î sisê ra jî davêje. And it has two pipes, and the third one is reserve, if its water becomes too much, a hundred [percent], it throws from the third one too.

Di sala 62ya da... In the year '62...
Xûcûk li meydan... meydanek ba zehebî, vêra digotin Şêx Şewaq. Xwedê rehma xwe li giyanê bike û li bavê me giyan bike, li ê we jî bike. Khujuk in the square... there was a golden square, they called him Sheikh Shewaq. May God have mercy on his soul and on our father's soul, and on yours too.
Li te bîji. On you too (bless you).
Go em ê kaniyê çêkin. He said, "We will build the spring."
Berê ev kaniya ne hono bû. Before, this spring was not like this.
Ev kaniya berê di bin vî zinirî da bû. Di bin vî zinirî da gullek çêkiribûn wekî du bermîl av diketî. This old spring was under this rock. Under this rock, they had made a spout where about two barrels of water would fall.
Însanî hat, jinî hat, satilê xwe vî dixistin û diçûn. People came, women came, they dipped their buckets here and left.
Kê bi vî rengî çêkir? Who built it in this way?
Şêx Çewaq çêkir, xoceyê camiyê bû. Sheikh Chawaq built it, he was the mosque's teacher.
Û di rojê Remezanê da terawîh jî dikirin li vî gundî. Yanî terawîh miletê gund î dîndar, yanî ibnim, dizatın, li hewşê rûkê terawîh jî dikirin. And during the days of Ramadan, they also performed Tarawih prayers in this village. Meaning, the religious people of the village, you know, they performed Tarawih in the courtyard.
Û ewî jî, Şêx Çewaq anî çîmento anîn... And he, Sheikh Chawaq brought cement, brought...
Xwedê rehma xwe li mîratê bavê min ke û li bavê min ke, û desek didûxurê bavê min ra, û hişta kahnî çêkirin, honikî ser girtin, go mela kes têda nefetise, mela kes têda... qazê nekeve, av jî tim paqij be, va boro. May God have mercy on my father's legacy and on my father, and those with my father, and they built the spring, covered the top like that, saying so no one drowns in it, so no one... falls in by accident, and so the water remains clean, [via] this pipe.
Yanî ev kanîya ne çêkirin e? So this spring isn't [newly] made?
Ev kanîya di şêst û diduya da hat çêkirin. This spring was built in '62.
Şêst û diduya? Ji zû da ye. '62? That's a long time ago.
Ji şêst û diduya da hat çêkirin ev kanîya. Na. This spring was built in '62. Yes.
Erê. Bavê min têbû, û sê çar kî dı hevalê bûn. Yek navê wî jî Heso bû. Navê wî Dedû bû, dixurê wî ra, navê wî Nûrî bû, navê wî Heso bû. Yes. My father was in it, and three or four others were his friends. One's name was Heso. His name was Dedu, with him, his name was Nuri, his name was Heso.
Ew giş rehmetî bûn? They have all passed away?
Hemû giş rehmetî bûn. Rehma Xwedê li giya be, li yê te bêje, li yê gulmanî jî. They have all passed away. May God's mercy be upon them all, upon yours, and upon all of us.
Û va kaniya heta noka wane ye. Û halê hazir dehe dînamo, em dibêjin dînamo de, wekî din... va hişta avê dikişînin. Berê dehe li ser bûn, me dihesiband dehe bûn. And this spring is like that until now. And currently, ten dynamos (pumps), we call them dynamos, like... these things that pull water. Before there were ten on it, we counted ten.
Noka halê hazir, çar pênc kî li ser ne. Hîn miletê gund li vadi xey. Now currently, there are four or five on it. Still, the village people drink from it.
Hina jî noka bîr lê xistine, malê xwe çîçkî dûr xistine, çîçkî av kêm bûye, zeîf bûye. Di hewşa xwe da bîr lê xistine vadi xen. Some have now dug wells, moved their houses a bit further, the water has decreased a bit, become weak. They have dug wells in their courtyards and drink from there.
Saerin jî hene? There are cisterns too?
Saerin jî hene. There are cisterns too.
Ê va kanîya hişta berê di bin vî zinirî da bû, av di vî bin zinîr ra dihat. Û milet jî li vadi xwar. Well, this spring used to be under this rock before, water came from under this rock. And the people drank from it.
Û ji jor va jî, gelî dihat av pir bû, va ge... gelî heşk nedibû. Dîsa av pir bû. Yanî avî gelek kaniya dihat, av pir bû. Zehf bû. And from above, the valley came, there was a lot of water... the valley wouldn't dry up. Again, there was a lot of water. Meaning water came from many springs, there was a lot of water. It was abundant.
Û hey lo em nemahrûmê avê ne, yanî av heye di kaniyê, mado halê hazir heye. And hey, look, we are not deprived of water, meaning there is water in the spring, as long as it exists currently.
Bes hinek kêm bûye? But it has decreased a bit?
Hinek hinek kêm bûye, hişta zeîf bûye, baran tune, rehma Xwedê kêm bûye. It has decreased a little bit, it has become weak, there is no rain, God's mercy (rain) has decreased.
Mela Walo beg Xwedê kêm û kasiya nede. Ser serê me, ser çavê me, hûn hatine va. Me... em gund û malbat û mezin û biçûk bi hatina we şa kirin, di rêka we ra, ya ehlen we sehlen, serçava, taca xwaş. Mullah Walo beg, may God not give shortage. Upon our heads, upon our eyes (welcome), you have come here. We... we, the village and families and old and young, are happy with your arrival, regarding your path, welcome, upon eyes (welcome), happy crown.
Û serkeftin be. And may there be success.
Spas taro jî, mala te ava be. Thanks uncle, may your home be prosperous.
Spas dikim, saeta we jî xwaş. Bi hatina we em gelek kêfxwaş bûn. Spas. Thank you, may your hour be happy (good health). We were very happy with your arrival. Thanks.
Spas taro, mala te ava be. Thanks uncle, may your home be prosperous.
Devera Sûrê wekî mezelekê kevnare, tê da gorên kevnar dikin hejmareke şikeftan têne dîtin. The Sur region is like an ancient cemetery, ancient graves and a number of caves can be found in it.
Ev dibin şahidê kevnariya dîroka vê deverê. These become witnesses to the ancient history of this region.
Li roja avayî gund çiyayê Sîfel dikeve. Li wir leşkergeheke parastina ya leşkerên Sûrî berê hebû. To the west of the village lies Mount Sifel. There used to be a defense garrison of Syrian soldiers there in the past.
Geliya Hecî li rojavatê gund digel geliya Mêşêre, li ser kaniya gund dibin yek gelî. The Heci Valley to the west of the village, together with the Meshere Valley, become one valley at the village spring.
Gundê Penêra bi pirbûna kaniyan navdar e. The village of Penera is famous for its abundance of springs.
Mîna Kaniya Geliyê Hecî, Kaniya Şînê, Kaniya Rê, Kaniya Qisqirane, Kaniya Kawa, Kaniya Şeqaqa, Kaniya Troskê, Kaniya Mîso, Kaniya Xelecê, û Kaniya Penêreka digel van jî, Geliyê Kîlîsê heye. Like the Heci Valley Spring, the Blue Spring, the Road Spring, the Qisqirane Spring, the Kawa Spring, the Sheqaqa Spring, the Troske Spring, the Miso Spring, the Xelece Spring, and the Penereka Spring, along with these, there is the Kilise Valley.
Hêjayî gotinê ye ku hemû zeviyên derdora gund çiyayî ne, lê axa sor e û ji bo çandiniyê gelekî guncaw e. It is worth mentioning that all the fields around the village are mountainous, but the soil is red and very suitable for agriculture.
Bi zeytûn û fêkiyan, çandinî ne. They are planted with olives and fruits.

Wejî yenekî bi dilxweş, we xwest hinekî tiştê xanî, wekî emê çêbikin. You also wanted pleasantly some household things, that we will make.
Ê dayê emji destpêkê ji cem te destpê bikin. So mother, let's start with you from the beginning.
Ê... navê gundê we ji navê penêr hatiye. Tu zanî ew navê gundî bo çi malê kirin? Dê tu nezanî? So... the name of your village comes from cheese (Penêr). Do you know why they named the village that? Or do you not know?
Ella wele dayê cama digot penîreko. Navê gundê me ser penêr çêbûye. Navê penêr. Oh well, mom used to say "Penireko". Our village's name was made based on cheese. The name cheese.
E çi manê, wekî dayikê we penêr çêdikirin, lê penêrê we xweş bûn yanê? So what does it mean, like your mothers made cheese, but was your cheese good, is that it?
Ji gund da penêr jî xweş bûn. From the village, the cheese was also good.
Yanî dayikê we penêr xweş çêdikirin? So your mothers made good cheese?
Xweş çêdikirin. They made good [cheese].
Û pir çêdikirin? And they made a lot?
Pir çêdikirin. They made a lot.
Berê pezê we pir bû. Pir bû. Her maleke, heftê, sed, dewar hebû. Her maleke. Before, your sheep/livestock were many. Many. Every house had seventy, a hundred animals. Every house.
Malê heyî pêncî, hewî malê heyî sê. Noka çîçkeke kêm e. Some houses had fifty, some had thirty. Now it's a little less.
Nwe dare, em çêdikin. Nowadays, we make it.
Wêjî berê da penêr çêdikir, mast çêdikir, lorik çêdikir. And back then too, they made cheese, made yogurt, made curd.
Erê, îşê wane. Lorik û penêr... îşê wane. Yes, that was their job. Curd and cheese... that was their job.
Jiboy ku navê gundê we jî bi navê penêr hat naskirin. Because your village's name became known by the name of cheese.
Bi navê penêr hat naskirin. Erê. Known by the name of cheese. Yes.
Dayê na te çêbiki? Mother, what will you make?
Wele ezê penêr çêkim, ez dayika xwe jê hîn bûme. Ma çêkir, ez jî li cem we çêkim. Well, I will make cheese, I learned it from my mother. She made it, and I will make it with you.
Yanî wejî ji dayika xwe hîn bûne? So you also learned from your mother?
Ez ji dayika xwe hîn bûme. Dayika we pîça we penêr çêdikir, rûn çêdikir... çêdikir. I learned from my mother. Your mother made a bit of cheese, made butter... made it.
Di gund da kîjan jin a herî xweş çêdikir kî bû? In the village, which woman made the best one, who was it?
Wele vira digotin Elofa Tembilbilê hebû, cîrana me bû, pîrek bû, Xwedê rehma xwe li miriyê we ke, û yê hemu misilmanan. Well, here they said there was Elofa Tembilbilê, she was our neighbor, an old woman, may God have mercy on your dead and all Muslims.
Û dêka min çêdikir. Û penêrê xwe jî difirotin ku derê, berî gya diçû. And my mother made it. And they sold their cheese somewhere, before everyone went.
Yanî navê xwe rind bû û rind diçû. Meaning its name was good and it sold well.
Yanî xweş çêdikirin. So they made it well.
Xweş çêdikirin. Paqij bû. They made it well. It was clean.
Ew jî li wî hîn bûn, hûn jî li dayika xwe? And they learned from her, and you from your mother?
Em ji dayika xwe hîn bûn. Keçika me jî hîn bûn. We learned from our mother. Our daughters also learned.
Keçikê we jî hîn bûn? Your daughters also learned?
Keçikê me jî hîn bûn. Our daughters also learned.
Wekî keçikê niha zêde nakin. Dibêjin em naxwazin. Like the girls now don't do it much. They say we don't want to.
Wele hinek naxwazin, hinek dixwazin. Ê me hîn bûn. Ê hene hîn nebûn. Well some don't want to, some want to. Ours learned. There are some who didn't learn.
Yanî piraniya van diçin mektebê, rûn nê hîn nabin. Meaning most of them go to school, they don't learn butter [making].
Na weqas na. Na yekî me nizanin. No, not so much. No, some of ours don't know.
Yanî zanin bes wek we nizanin. Meaning they know, but not like you know.
Nizanin, erê. Me yek me... yanî rind nabirenê dersê. They don't know, yes. We... one of ours... meaning they don't take to the lesson well.
Na dê penêr çêkê? Now mom will make cheese?
Erê. Yes.
Na hinekî ji me ra ji destpêkê bêje, çawa penêr çêdikir? Now tell us a little from the beginning, how did she make cheese?
Ê wele hebû em pir çêdikirin, gûr şîr yanî. Şîr hindik bû, em hindik çêdikirin. Pir bû, em pir çêdikirin. Well, there was [a time] we made a lot, lots of milk. If milk was little, we made little. If it was a lot, we made a lot.
Dîsa winakî bavra bûn alîkar, win bavra çêdikir? Yan her kesî malê xwe bi tenê çêdikir? Again, did you help each other, did you make it together? Or did everyone make their own house's alone?
Na em dibûn alîkar. Em her malek dibûn gı ça hebû... Em didan hevdu, her malek du roj sê roj çêdikir. No, we helped each other. We, every house, however many there were... We gave to each other, every house made it for two days, three days.
Win bavra dibûn alîkar. Her carê ê hineka malekê çêdikir. You helped each other. Each time, one of the houses made it.
Her carê em malek çêdikir. Each time we made [for] one house.
Ê we difiroşî jî lê, beşê xwarinê tenê? And you sold it too, or just for eating?
Noko pez hindik e, em nafiroşin, malê xwa ra em çêdikin. Berê we difirot. Now the sheep are few, we don't sell, we make for our own house. Before, we sold.
Tim mişterî dihat, meydan hebû. Customers always came, there was a square.
Em dibir Rajo, yek bas meydanê. Wana dikirîn. Mola şî dikir. We took it to Rajo (town), one bus to the square. They bought it. The house (family) also did it.
No, ne hûn ji xwe tenê ra çêdikin? Now, you only make for yourselves?
Noko em ji xwe tenê ra çêdikin. Now we only make for ourselves.
Pezê we kêm bûye. Your sheep have decreased.
Kêm bûye. Şivan nemane. Yardim çîçke kêm bûye. Rehma Xwedê naborî. Li wê şta çîçke kêm bûye. Decreased. No shepherds left. Help has decreased a bit. God's mercy (rain) doesn't rain. Because of that things have decreased a little.
De fermo kaniya ji me ra ser karê xwe bêje. Please, tell us about your work at the spring.
Bismillah. Bismillah (In the name of God).
Ne ne ev şîr e? Isn't this milk?
Havo şîr e. Me bi zîmêtê li dêwîr dût. Me parzin kir. Û emkê noko pîşîta îlacî nî têkin. Bismillah. This is milk. We milked it from the cattle with effort. We strained it. And we will now put a pinch of medicine (rennet) in it. Bismillah.

Havo jî îlac e. And this is the medicine.
Îlacî pê dimînin. Îlacî penîr. They put the medicine in it. Cheese medicine.
Gûr şîr têketîke, deke zêde têkabe na? [If] lots of milk goes in, you put more in, no?

Havo jî en îlac e. This is the medicine.
Havo en îlac e. This is the medicine.
Havo en î îlac e... îlac, pê zer lemîş nabe. This is the medicine... medicine, with it the yellow won't spoil.
Havo en î o hono tîkin, şîr... This one they put like this, milk...
Havo en o rind bihelinin, îştî îlac tî da nemîne, îson pî jehrlemîş nebe. They dissolve this one well, so the medicine doesn't remain in it, so a person doesn't get poisoned by it.
Havo en o hono tîkin. They put this like this.
Hevekî o hono bibe... Let this become like this...
Doxê şîr pir be, tikî vî pir tikî. Doxê hindik be, tikî hindikî tikî. If the milk is a lot, you put a lot of this. If it's little, you put a little.
Eyi wer, erê. Gûr şîr. Exactly, yes. Lots of milk.
Hevokî ji o hono bibe. Kanê pêşî çêkin ser noko. Let this one become like this. Where is the cover, put on it now.
No piştî wê? Now after that?
Ane noko xelas bû, o meyi se. Du seet, seetek here. Ane rind mistin, mistin... Now it's finished, oh the yeast. Two hours, one hour goes by. Then squeeze it well, squeeze it...
...û ane pûçê xwe şel bikin, û tîr o kin. ...and then wet the cloth sack, and make it tight.
Û ane dînin ser taxtînîn, û tepzîko pak dînin, û kevirikî, yo tiştekî giron dînin, û ane penîrê xwe qot kin. And then put it on a board, and put a clean tray, and put a stone, or a heavy thing, and then cut your cheese.
Havo hono çêdibe. This is how it's made.
Hono bû, penîr hên pok têda, û hin îsonik bixwe tamkê jî dibîne. Xweş e. It became like this, the cheese is clean in it, and some person eats it and sees the taste. It's good.
Win nakelînin? You don't boil it?
No, sê roj, çar roj çûyî, noko teze nakelê. No, three days, four days pass, now fresh it doesn't boil.
Nakelê? Doesn't boil?
Sê roj çûye, ayi hişk bû, ane ava xwe çêkin, bi hêlînê... Three days pass, it becomes hard, then prepare its water, with melting...
...Û ane penîrê xwe tîkin, bikelînin, şor bikin, avê berdin ser. Yanî heyo sê roja usa dimîne. ...And then put your cheese in, boil it, make it salty, pour water over it. Meaning up to three days it stays like that.
Ê penîr pir be sê roj dimîne? If the cheese is plenty, does it stay for three days?
Ê penîr pir be sê roj dimîne. If the cheese is plenty, it stays for three days.
Na, ewa hîn xwaş nabe. Hêwa sê saetan em ê noka pêçkin û qotkin, ê bimîne. No, that one isn't good yet. We will wrap this one for three hours now, pound it, and let it stay.
Rukê, duru, ê bimîne. Rukê, hema duru... ştê, em bikalin. Wait a bit, wait, let it stay. Wait a bit, just wait... look, let me explain.
Rind dibe, seke ev şitê jî rind e. It becomes good, look, that one is good too.
Dayê, wînê piştî sê saetên din wînê di binê erdê de qotkin? Mother, after another three hours, will you store it underground?
Em ê qotkin, erê, xelas. We will store it, yes, finished.
Ew piştî zote rojek, du rojan dimîne, wînê bikelînin? It stays for like a day or two days, then we store it?
Erê. Wînê hîlin ji bo zivistanê. Yes. We will keep it for winter.
Ene ji zivistanê, salek din bimîne xera nabe. Tekel an şûnda. Specifically for winter, if it stays for another year it won't spoil. Nothing happens to it in there.
Destê te sax be. Dayê te çi amade kiriye? Ka hinekî ji me ra bêje. Health to your hands. Mother, what have you prepared? Tell us a little about it.
Welle me jî penîrê girtî amade kiriye, mastê girtî ye. Well, we have prepared 'girtî' cheese (buried cheese), it is 'girtî' yogurt.
Ev jî eynî ew penîr e? Is this also that same cheese?
Eynî ew penîr e, bes hewa girtî ye. Û gulîlak ne, hewa jî ji lebne çêdibe. It is the same cheese, but this is 'girtî'. And there are 'gulîlak' (balls), this is made from 'lebne' (strained yogurt).
Tişkî hişk dibe, em wina gilolk dikin. Gilolk ne, wer dibe. It becomes something dry, we make it into balls. It's balls, it becomes like that.
Û hewa jî zatir rûnê sêr e. And this is actually 'sêr' oil (ghee).
Ewa jî rûnê sêr e. That is also 'sêr' oil.
Û hev jî kûze, rûnê... awa... And this is a jar, of oil... well...
Rûnê Holendî dikeve vîra dibê. Dutch oil [commercial ghee] goes into this one.
Heva em hildidin e zivistanê, şta gerek dibe. We keep this for winter, it is needed for things.
Ge... hêlînek be, ge tiştek be, em pê we rûnê... rûnê xweş çêdikin. If... there is a gathering, or something, we make the oil... we make good oil with it.
Rûnê xweş vîra dibê. It becomes good oil.
Ew ji bo xwarinê? Ji bo şîva ye? That is for eating? For dinner?
Ji bo gi tiştî dibe. Bo gi tiştî dibe. It is for everything. It works for everything.
Yanî yek nî saet... Meaning, one... half an hour...
Ev nabe? Ev rûn na, nabe? Is this not good? This oil, no, does it not work [to eat now]?
Hevayî noka ye. Hevayî sêr vîra dibê. This is the current one. This becomes 'sêr'.
Erê, hevayî noka ye. Noka teyî bixwe teze? The 'sêr' one?
Erê, hevayî noka ye. Noka teyî bixwe teze? Yes, this is the current one. Can you eat it fresh now?
Paşê emê pîvazî xwayî têkin, bihelînin, emê berdin qatremîz, emê hilînin zivistanê. Later we will add our onions to it, melt it, pour it into jars, and keep it for winter.
Û hewa jî zatir mastê girtî ye? And is this actually 'girtî' yogurt?
Ev jî hova ye. This is also like that.
Hev jî hova ye, mastê girtî ye. This is also like that, 'girtî' yogurt.
We xistiye? Have you thickened it?
O hova. Just like that.
Hev jî mastê girtî ye, zivistanê... Î heye noka dixwe? This is also 'girtî' yogurt, in winter... Is there anyone who eats it now?
Ji vî re dibêjin çi, girtî? Wîn çi dibêjin vîra? What do they call this, 'girtî'? What do you call it here?
Na, em dibêjinê î girtî. No, we call it the 'girtî' one.
Te dît hinek dibêjinê 'kemandî', hinek dibêjin 'girtî'. You see, some say 'kemandî', some say 'girtî'.
Erê, 'kemandî' jî heye, 'girtî' jî heye, nefsî yek e. Nefsî ew şûrbûn e. Yes, 'kemandî' exists too, 'girtî' exists too, it's the same thing. The same saltiness.
Eynî hewa ye. It is exactly that.
Eynî heva ye. Hova em helî... noka î heye noka dixwe, î heye zivistanê. Exactly that. Like that we... now there are those who eat it now, there are those [who keep it] for winter.
Na, bavê min, li vir dibêjinê 'girtî'? Nabêjinê 'kemandî'? No, my dear [lit: my father], do they call it 'girtî' here? Do they not call it 'kemandî'?
Erê, em li vir dibêjinê î girtî. Yes, we here call it the 'girtî' one.
Û pir kes jî dibêjin î 'kemandî' yê li ber... And many people also say the 'kemandî' one towards...
Gêçî cemê me, li Cindirêsê, ji vî de em dibêjin mastê kemandî. But on our side, in Jindires, for this we say 'kemandî' yogurt.
Keçê, cema me bera Cindirêsê ha da, em dibêjin mastê kemandî. Girl, our side towards Jindires there, we call it 'kemandî' yogurt.
Tu ji kîjan gundî ye? Which village are you from?
Ez ji Fêrêrê me. I am from Fêrêrê.
Tu bi koka xwe ji gundê Fêrêrê ye. You are originally from the village of Fêrêrê.
E, ez ji Fêrêrê me. Yes, I am from Fêrêrê.
Ê ser çava. Sax bin. Upon my eyes. Be healthy.
Ev jî gulîlak in, ka tu dikarî nîkî jî me ra vekî sehne jî. These are 'gulîlak' (balls) too, can you open one for us to see as well.
Erê. Yes.
Bikin kîna? Shall I do it [open it] like this?
Wînê vê çawa çêdikin? Koka vî çi ye? Ser vî de jî... How do you make this? What is the base of this? On this also...
Havo lebne ye, em most amade dikin, ewe... This is 'lebne' (strained yogurt), we prepare the yogurt, that...
Em dikin tûyir, didin ber vê. Û hişk dibe. We make it into rounds, put it out in the [sun/air]. And it becomes dry.
Û em wek hevi... le heq... And we like this... [unclear]...
Lê hûn rasterast dixwin? But do you eat it directly?
No, no, em dikin awe... lê em radixwin. No, no, we make it... then we serve/eat it.
Tişkî hişk bî, em paşê dikin zeytê, gulolk dibe. When it is somewhat dry, then we put it in oil, it becomes balls.
Paşê dikin qatremîz, û zeyta xwe dikin ser, û îşta mali zivistanê amade dikin. Then we put it in jars, put our oil on top, and prepare the household goods for winter.
E, îşta wane. Yes, things are like that.
Na, nerm nabe di zeytê de? No, does it not get soft in the oil?
No, tişkî nerm nabê. No, it doesn't get soft at all.
Ew zeytê dixwe, ne wisa? It eats [absorbs] the oil, isn't that so?
E, di zeytê de xweş dibe. Lê hewa hona di zeytê de xweş dibe. Yes, it becomes good in the oil. Indeed like that, it becomes good in the oil.
[Sound of jar opening] [Sound of jar opening]
Havo hiltînin zivistanê, î heye noka dixwe, î heye zivistanê dixwe. We keep this for winter, there are those who eat it now, there are those who eat it in winter.
Başqe hûn çi çêdikin? Ji şîr? What else do you make? From milk?
Em lêriyê çêdikin. Lêriyê hişk vêra dibê, ji lorkê çêdibe. We make 'lêrî'. 'Lêrî' becomes dry here, it is made from 'lorik' (curd).
Hewa hişke, malikî zivistanê ye, ew ne î noka ye. It is dry, it is a winter good, it is not for now.
Hewa noka me hîn çênekirîye, destpê nekirîye, be'dî çêrandin ê destpêbikin. That one we haven't made yet, haven't started. After grazing [season], we will start.
Hewa hişk dikin, dikin qatremîskî xwe û hiltînin. We dry it, put it in our jars and store it.
Ta pîvaza dikin, sarmîsokê pê çêdikin, îşta hewa jî lêrî vêra dibên. Until we add onions, make it with garlic, well, that is what they call 'lêrî' here.
Î lurik, başqe ye? Is 'lurik' different?
Î lork başqe ye, lêrî başqe ye. Î hişk dikin. 'Lork' is different, 'lêrî' is different. We dry it.
Wekî din, çaye di gund da hûn çi çêdikin? Other than that, what is there in the village that you make?
Welle de haliyan heve. Well, the situation is this.
Welle de îşta, halil hozir ev e. Penîr e, most e, rûn e, îşe, ştî wano ye. Well, the work, the ready situation is this. Cheese, yogurt, oil, work, things like that.
Ê gunda, de, e hewa noka heve îşta. In the village, well, this is what there is now.
Bo îşta, de wextê rezan û daran jî, şta noka, hê ne, îşta ew dibe yanî. For work, well, the time of vineyards and trees too, things now... not yet... that happens later.
De noka wextê çi ye? So what is the time for now?
Am cilû çêdikin. Am cilê xo tînin, dikirin... dikin qatremîza, îşta ştî wano. We make pickles/preserves. We bring our vegetables/materials, buy them... put them in jars, things like that.
Ew jî malikî zivistanê, ew jî tey xorn, îşta ew jî gerek e. That is also a winter good, that is also for eating, well, that is also necessary.

Spas ji we ra. Thank you.
Ehlen we sehlen ji we ra. You are welcome.
Ziyaretgeha Ebdulrehman, li rojavayê gundê Qazîqlî, an Sultan, li bakurê Rojavayê ye. The Shrine of Abdulrahman, to the west of the village of Qaziqli, or Sultan, is in the northwest.
Ji bo barîna baranê, gundî serdana wan ziyaretgehan dikin. For the falling of rain, the villagers visit those shrines.
Nêzî 10 deqan fadle paytexta Sûrî, Şamê niştecîbûn e. It is nearly 10 minutes away from the residence of the Syrian capital, Damascus [likely referencing a nearby settlement named similarly or administrative tie].
Nêzî şêst xanî û derdora heşt sed kes li gundê penêrekan dijîn. Nearly sixty houses and around eight hundred people live in the village of the cheese-makers.
Hêjayî pirxistinê ye, ku damezrînerê bajarokê Meydan Ekbesê ji vî gundî ye. It is worth mentioning that the founder of the town of Meydan Ekbes is from this village.
Her wiha şeş pakrewan ji gund hene, ku di şerê rûzgariya netewî de jiyana xwe ji dest dane. Furthermore, there are six martyrs from the village, who lost their lives in the war of national liberation.
Şehîd Munzur, Berçem, Şervan, Çiya, Welîd, Cemîl, û Şehîd Yûsif. Martyr Munzur, Berçem, Şervan, Çiya, Welîd, Cemîl, and Martyr Yûsif.
Weke hemû gundên sînorî, penêreka jî xizmên xwe li aliyê sînor yê din hene. Like all border villages, the cheese-makers also have their relatives on the other side of the border.
Bi taybet li gundê Qazîqlî. Especially in the village of Qaziqli.
Ku têlên risayî yên ku welatê me parçe kirine, nikarîbûn gel li her du aliyên sînor ji hev qût bike. Where the rusted wires that have divided our country could not cut the people on both sides of the border off from each other.
Lewma tanahiya dilê xelkê gund, bi xizm û dostên xwe re li aliyê din hene. Therefore, the comfort of the hearts of the village people is with their relatives and friends on the other side.
Merheba Apê, qewet be. Hello Uncle, strength to you.

Noka her bêje 'beger', tinebû, 'qopqop' çû lo. Now everyone just says 'beger' [tractor/machine], it's gone, the 'qopqop' [plow] is gone, man.
Ê bê qopqop çiye? Tişt nizanin. Ez zanim çiye, ez çêdikim. What is without a plow? They don't know things. I know what it is, I make it.

Porê reşî spî dibe. The black hair is becoming white.
Roniya çavê min kêm dibe. The light of my eyes is decreasing.
Lê heskirina min ji te ra, hê zêde tê, dostê, hê zêde tê, rindê, hê zêde tê. But my love for you, is increasing still, friend, is increasing still, beauty, is increasing still.
