A scarf can be wrapped around the neck in cold weather.

The idea

Atkı means scarf. The definite object is atkıyı, atkım means “my scarf”, and atkılar is plural. The accusative adds linking y after the vowel, while possessive -m attaches directly.

Examples

  • Atkıyı soğukta boynuma sardım.I wrapped the scarf around my neck in the cold.
  • Atkım dolapta ceketimin yanında.My scarf is beside my jacket in the wardrobe.
  • Atkılar kutuda özenle katlanmış.The scarves are carefully folded in the box.
  • Atkının uçları oldukça uzun.The ends of the scarf are quite long.
  • Bu atkı yumuşak yünden yapılmış.This scarf is made of soft wool.
  • İki atkı askıda duruyor.Two scarves are hanging on the rack.

Watch out

Include y in atkıyı before -ı. Do not add a vowel between atkı and possessive -m in atkım.
