Use ayna for a mirror and practise endings after its final vowel.
The idea
Ayna means mirror. Aynam means my mirror, aynayı marks a specific mirror as an object, and aynası means his or her mirror. After the final vowel, the object ending uses buffer y, while the third-person possessive uses buffer s.
Examples
- Aynamın çerçevesi kırık.My mirror's frame is broken.
- Aynayı pencerenin karşısına astık.We hung the mirror opposite the window.
- Bu aynada kendimi görüyorum.I see myself in this mirror.
- Aynalar odayı daha aydınlık gösteriyor.The mirrors make the room look brighter.
- Banyoda yuvarlak bir ayna var.There is a round mirror in the bathroom.
- Onun aynası küçük.Her mirror is small.

Watch out
Do not omit the buffer consonant: write aynayı and aynası. After a number use the singular: iki ayna.
