Turkish term or phrase: anana
senin anana bacina yapsalar . I've no idea what these words mean but I found them while browsing. Yapsalar means 'they do' and 'senin' 'your' but anana & bacina are obscure unless 'bacina' means 'tribute'.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks to Fikret. I hadn't come across ana before. Tim's translation was very idiomatic and exactly as we would put it but Fikret's alternative makes good sense. Thanks to all.
