Bekle Dedi
Bekle dedi gitti
Ben beklemedim, o da gelmedi...
Ölüm gibi bir şey oldu
Ama kimse ölmedi...

Wait she said
Wait she said and left
I did not wait, she did not come...
It was like death
Yet nobody died...

Mavi Boncuk | Word Origin | Nebze

Nebze : very small pies, unimportant TR,  quantity bit EN[1] iota [2], tinge[3], particle[4], jolt.
From AR  nabḏa ͭ نبذة  çok küçük ve önemsiz parça, ufaklık, kırıntı from AR nabḏ نبذ  gereksiz bulup atma, ekarte etme

[1] bit (n) "small piece," c. 1200; related Old English bite "act of biting," and bita "piece bitten off," which probably are the source of the modern words meaning "boring-piece of a drill" (the "biting" part, 1590s), "mouthpiece of a horse's bridle" (mid-14c.), and "a piece (of food) bitten off, morsel" (c. 1000). All from Proto-Germanic *biton (source also of Old Saxon biti, Old Norse bit, Old Frisian bite, Middle Dutch bete, Old High German bizzo "biting," German Bissen "a bite, morsel"), from PIE root *bheid- "to split."

Meaning "small piece, fragment" of anything is from c. 1600. Sense of "short space of time" is 1650s. Theatrical bit part is from 1909. Money sense "small coin" in two bits, etc. is originally from the U.S. South and the West Indies, in reference to silver wedges cut or stamped from Spanish dollars (later Mexican reals); transferred to "eighth of a dollar."

[2] iota (n.) "very small amount," 1630s, figurative use of iota, ninth and smallest letter in the Greek alphabet (corresponding to Latin -i-). Its use in this sense is after Matthew v.18 (see jot (n.), which is the earlier form of the name in English), but iota in classical Greek also was proverbially used of anything very small. The letter name is from Semitic (compare Phoenician and Hebrew yodh).

[3] tinge (v.) late 15c., "to dye, color slightly," from Latin tingere "to dye, color" (see tincture). Related: Tinged. The noun is first recorded 1752.

[4] particle (n.) late 14c., "small part or division of a whole, minute portion of matter," from Latin particula "little bit or part, grain, jot," diminutive of pars (genitive partis) "a part, piece, division" (from PIE root *pere- "to grant, allot"). Particle physics attested from 1969. In construction, particle board (1957) is so called because it is made from chips and shavings of wood.
