Significado
To be unable to handle something difficult.
Contexto cultural
The idiom reflects the importance of 'Non' (bread) in Uzbek culture. Hard bread is a common reality, and the physical act of breaking bread is central to social life. Nomadic traditions emphasize physical strength. Being able to eat 'tough' food was a sign of health and readiness for hardship. In Uzbek bazaars, 'tishi o'tmoq' is a common way to talk about price negotiations. It shows the transactional nature of the idiom. There is a deep respect for 'ilm' (knowledge). Admitting your 'tooth doesn't pass' through a book is a sign of respect for the book's depth.
Use it for prices!
This is the most natural way to say something is too expensive in a casual setting. It makes you sound very native.

Don't forget to change 'tish' to 'tishim' if you are talking about yourself. Using 'tishi' for yourself sounds like you are talking about someone else's tooth!
