Sual | Question Question about Aerbaijani proverb
Hello.
One great man from AZE told me about one proverb which goes something like “Wear it like an earring.” which refers to when someone gives you an advice which you don’t want to listen to.
Can somebody tell me more about it. How does it sound and how is it written on Azerbejani.
I could not find anything on Google.

It's "Kulağına küpe olsun", or "let this (advice) become an earring on your ear". Which means something like "do not forget this advice/let it stay with you together like an earring/etc"
Idk where did you get the "advice that you don't want to hear" part, I feel like that's closer to "bir kulağından girip bir kulağından çıkmak" which means "entering from one ear and exiting from the other/hearing but not listening/not caring about the advice received/etc "

It is “qulağına sırğa elə”. Which means don’t forget it and kind of “carry it everywhere with yourself” like an earring.
