A flower may grow in a garden or stand in a vase.
The idea
Çiçek means flower. The definite object is çiçeği and the direction form is çiçeğe: final k changes to ğ before a vowel. The plural çiçekler keeps k.
Examples
- Çiçeği pencerenin yanına koydum.I put the flower next to the window.
- Annem çiçeğe su veriyor.My mother is watering the flower.
- Çiçekler bahçede güzel kokuyor.The flowers smell lovely in the garden.
- Bu çiçek sarı ve küçük.This flower is yellow and small.
- İki çiçek vazoda duruyor.Two flowers are in the vase.
- Çiçeğin yaprakları güneşe dönüyor.The flower’s leaves turn toward the sun.

Watch out
Use çiçeğe su vermek to give water to the flower. Keep k before the consonant in çiçekler, but use ğ in çiçeği and çiçeğe.
