Persian (Farsi) term or phrase: جز جز کردن
بنا سوراخ های دماغش را با کاهگل پوشاند .حالا پشۀ جلز و ولزی به جای جلز و ولز فقط جزجز می کرد
vahidzareei
Iran
English translation:to bizz
Explanation:
Since the "joke" in Persian depends on changing the sound effect of the mosquito, we can change "buzz" in the earlier question to "bizz"...it is similar but not as strong
