Sayings

Stereotyped expressions produce new concepts by moving away from their original meanings. These may consist of two or more words, and are used to attract our attention or emotions.

Examples of local sayings:

Giving snow from Mount Ararat. (from Iğdır – Kars)

Hitting your head against a big stone. (Tunceli)

May your liver enter your mouth. (Elazığ)

Putting water in a sieve. (Hakkari)

A vizier once the work is done. (Samsun)
