like water off a duck's back: criticisms of or warnings to a particular person that have no effect on that person:

ته‌ڕ نابی، ته‌قه‌ی سه‌ری دێت، ڕه‌خنه‌ و ئاگاداركردنه‌وه‌ له‌ كه‌سێك كاریگه‌ری نییه‌ بۆ سه‌ر كه‌سه‌كه‌.

I've told him that he's heading for trouble, but he doesn't listen - it's just water off a duck's back.
پێم گوتووه‌ كه‌ ڕووبه‌ڕووی كێشه‌ ده‌بێته‌وه‌، به‌ڵام گوێ ناگرێ، هه‌ر ته‌قه‌ی سه‌ری دێت.
