Describe rubbish and say where an item was found.
The idea
Çöp means rubbish or waste. A specific object is çöpü. Use çöpte for a location in the rubbish and çöpten for something coming from it. The final p remains in these forms.
Examples
- Çöpü akşam dışarı çıkardım.I took the rubbish outside in the evening.
- Sabah çöpte eski bir anahtar bulduk.In the morning we found an old key in the rubbish.
- Çöpü bugün dikkatle ayırıyoruz.Today we are carefully sorting the rubbish.
- Çöpten kötü bir koku geliyor.A bad smell is coming from the rubbish.
- Bu çöp geri dönüşüme uygun.This rubbish is suitable for recycling.
- Çöpümüz henüz alınmadı.Our rubbish has not been collected yet.
