Tape can seal a box and keep a parcel closed.
The idea
Bant can mean tape. The definite object is bandı, with t changing to d before the vowel. Bantla or bant ile means “with tape”; bandım means “my tape”.
Examples
- Bandı sabah çekmeceye koydum.I put the tape in the drawer in the morning.
- Kutuyu bantla dikkatle kapattık.We carefully sealed the box with tape.
- Bandım masanın üstünde duruyor.My tape is on the table.
- Bu bant çok yapışkan.This tape is very sticky.
- İki bant çekmecede duruyor.Two rolls of tape are in the drawer.
- Bandın ucu ruloya yapışmış.The end of the tape has stuck to the roll.

Watch out
Before a vowel suffix, write bandı rather than bantı. The t remains in bantla, where the suffix starts with a consonant.
