Turkish term or phrase: Saya saya ağlamak bizde daha kesek
Saya saya ağlamak bizde daha kesek; sayi ağlamak. I came across this in a page of idioms but can't make any sense of it at all.
Sayi ağlamak seems to mean the same.

In a forum, I found the following explanation. This seems to be limited to some parts of the Black Sea region "saya saya aglamak: Yöredeki cenazelerde yakilan (kafiyeli) agit."
