I don't think it makes sense actually and I'm not Turkish but I saw this question earlier, tried to work it out but couldn't get it. So I followed it with interest. Now that I have seen Emine's and Epiphany's answers I think I have understood it.
I think that "yeneyim" is made from yen+eyim. The suffix "-eyim / -ayım" means something like "let me" in English. Epiphany mentions that yenmek means to beat. So I think that I'm right in thinking this. I think it's 'beat' as in defeat, win over. eg. Fenerbahce will beat Galatasaray.
ceketinizi al-ayım - let me take your jacket
birşey yeneyim = let me beat something
hangi = which? So I think here 'let me' should rather be translated 'shall I'
I may be on the wrong track but, it sounds to me like someone muttering to himself.
Hangi birini yeneyim. = which one shall i beat?
I guess it means 'try to beat' which you could also say as 'work on' / **'deal with'** / sort out
So then based on Emine's answer I believe that it means "Which one shall I deal with?"
From Emine's answer I gather that 'dibi' means 'bottom' in English. I looked to Google and also found "root" which I think makes sense in this sentence. Like root of the problem.
Which shall I deal with, the bottom (cause / root), the end (result) or the unhappiness.
