Use the surrounding words to identify a receipt or a plug.

The idea

Fiş can mean a receipt or an electrical plug. At a shop, fiş often refers to a receipt; with a socket, it can refer to a plug. A specific object is fişi, and fişim means my receipt or plug.

Examples

  • Fişi marketten çıkınca çantama koydum.I put the receipt in my bag after leaving the shop.
  • Elektrikli fişi prizden dikkatle çıkardık.We carefully removed the electrical plug from the socket.
  • Dün kasada fişimi bulamadım.Yesterday I could not find my receipt at the checkout.
  • Bu fişte tarih yazıyor.There is a date on this receipt.
  • Fiş kablonun ucunda duruyor.The plug is at the end of the cable.
  • İki alışveriş fişi masanın üstünde.Two receipts are on the table.

Watch out

Do not assume fiş always means a receipt: prizden points to a socket and hence an electrical plug in this example.
