Áldeneni esine týsire almay túrghanda, "týu, tilimning úshynda túr" degen amerikalyqty kórgende qalay tandanbaysyz? "On the tip of my tongue".

Dau-damay kezinde otqa may qúyatyndary tipti qyzyq. Bizderdey jay may qúimaydy, janar-jagharmay qúyady. "Add fuel to the fire". Fuel - benziyn, diyzeli, motor maylarynyng jalpy atauy.

Bireu bireudi sózden ondyrmay útyp ketse, "shaynap tastady" deymiz ghoy. "Chew someone out" degen búlarda da bar. Shaynalyp qalmau ýshin keyde "tilindi tisteuge" tura keledi. "Bite your tongue" deydi ony aghylshyndar.

"All in the same boat" - tura audarghanda, bәrimiz bir kemedemiz. "Kemedegining jany bir" degen siyaqty әdemi estilmeydi, biraq aitar oiy men ony jetkizudegi tandalghan qúral birdey.

“Out of the blue” degendi leksiyalardan jii estuge bolady. Mýlde kýtpegen jaghday, eshbir negizsiz aitylghan oi, tosyn aqpar menzeledi. Biz ondaydy “kókten týskendey” deymiz. Sózdikterge qarasam, aghylshynshasyndaghy “blue” sózi de “aspan” degendi menzeydi eken. Búl tirkesting “out of the clear blue sky” (túp-túnyq kók aspannan týskendey) degen núsqasy da bar eken.

Kók demekshi, olar da “kókbettenedi”. Úrys-keris shegine jetkende, “blue in the face” bolady. Bylaysha aitqanda, beti kógergenshe degen sóz.

"Apple of my eye". Kózding almasy dep aghylshyndar kózding qarashyghyn aitady. Tiyisinshe, qatty jaqsy kóretin, qamqor bolatyn adamyn "ol mening kózimning almasy" deydi. Qazaqtyng "kózimning qarashyghynday saqtaymyn" degenimen mәndes sekildi.

Jandary qinalghanda olar da “it's a dog's life” dep nalidy. “It tirlik” degeni ghoy.

“Erte me, kesh pe” – “sooner or later”; “black as night” – “týndey qara”; “blacklist” – qaratizim, “blow up” – “ashudan jarylu”. Búlar asa tanqaldyrmasa, mynaghan qaranyz.

“A highly colored report” degen bar. Kәdimgi “boyauyn qalyndatyp jetkizudi” olar osylay aitady.

Biz “saghym qusaq”, aghylshyndar kempirqosaq quady. “Chase rainbows”. Oryndalmas armannyng sonynda jýrgen jandar turaly.

Nashar adamdy “shirigen júmyrtqagha” tenegenimiz olargha da júqqan eken. “A bad egg” dep kóbine kópting arasyndaghy jamandy, naqtyraq aitsaq, jaqsy balalardyng ishindegi jaman balany aitady. Qazaqta da tura solay emes pe? Ýmitti aqtamaghan, úyatqa qaldyrghan balany “ol bir shirigen júmyrtqa” boldy ghoy dep jatamyz.

Búl jolgha osy da jetetin shyghar. Kelesi bólimde maqal-mәtelder turaly sóz etemiz.
