i would like to but i cant... 
i will try coz i do understand the words but it doesnt make sense to me altogether :S
"delikli"= with a hole/ piercing
"taş"= stone
"yerde"= on the ground/ space
"deli kız evde kalmaz" = a crazy girl wont/doesnt stay at home
:S:S

Ceyda,
That is because the saying is ALLEGORICAL...that is, it does not mean what it literally says....You need an interpretation as well, a mere translation is not enough.
Complete your literal translation first, then figure out what the elders may have meant....

Ceyda,
What the saying literally means is roughly as follows
Neither a hollow stone will remain on the ground very long, nor a "deli" girl at home.
P.S :"Deli" literally means "crazy" but can also hint at personal qualities like joyful, exciting, brave, out of ordinary, committed, interesting etc.

Hahaha, I love "haydi haydi yaa", my sisters husband and my friend both put on a really silly voice when they say it!

It's not really a word but i love when they throw their heads backwards and click their tongues as a disaproving 'no'.
Offf is indeed a favourite too.
And i like the word Günahkâr, just because it sounds beautiful. I also love the word Türkçe, because it sounds soft and sharp in the same time! Wonderful!
I like this thread! Good idea!

hehehe I was surprised when my german friend found it very strange and made fun of it, when I did this gesture. I found it surprising because I thought everyone in the world was doing this
