Describe a hammer and where it is kept.
The idea
Çekiç means hammer. Its final ç becomes c before a vowel: the specific object is çekici, and çekicim means my hammer. After a number use the singular: iki çekiç.
Examples
- Çekici sabah çekmeceye koydum.I put the hammer in the drawer in the morning.
- Eski çekiç çalışma masasının üzerinde duruyor.The old hammer is on the worktable.
- Bugün çekici dikkatle kutudan çıkardık.Today we carefully took the hammer out of the box.
- Bu çekiç çok ağır.This hammer is very heavy.
- Çekicim kırmızı saplı.My hammer has a red handle.
- İki çekiç rafta duruyor.Two hammers are on the shelf.
