Alef's comment has sent me off to the dictionary yet again. I am intrigued by this word tay-tuş, which I have never heard before. This means equal or a match, as Alef said. The sample sentence in the dictionary is
Onlar sənin tay-tuşun deyil. They are not your equal. I looked up both tay and tuş. Tay by itself means bale or package, as in
bir tay pambıq - a bale of cotton. It also means a part of a pair -
ayaqqabının tayı - and equal or match. Tuş means well-aimed or accurate.
Taya means a stack. As in,
ot tayası - haystack. Does this only apply to hay, or can you have a stack of books?
Or a stack of money? Or a stack of chairs? Thanks to Samir, we now know - You can't say these things. It doesn't make sense!
One who makes a haystack is a
tayavuran. But strangely, there is a phrase
taybatay açmaq - to throw open, as with a window -
Külək pəncərəni taybatay açdı - The wind blew open the window.
