ay Toto aya ako giistoryahe haliney ako hina [ay Tótò, ayâ akó gi-istoryáhe, háliney akó hinâ] (comp. of istorya, aya, hina₁) say Don't make excuses to me, I've been there, done that!; don't try and tell me that, I've been there before you! (as of a rebuke by an older person to a child or youth when he recognizes that they are making implausable excuses or telling lies. He says he's been a child too and knows all the excuses they make because he's used them himself.) [lit. hey Sonny, don't tell me stories, I’ve already come from there]. (sem. domains: 3.5.4.2 - Saying, proverb.)
