Use string to tie a parcel or secure a light object.

The idea

İp means string or cord. A specific object is ipi, and ipim means “my string”. After a number the noun stays singular: iki ip.

Examples

  • İpi sabah kutuya koydum.I put the string in the box in the morning.
  • Biz paketin etrafına ip bağladık.We tied string around the parcel.
  • İpim çekmecenin içinde duruyor.My string is in the drawer.
  • Bu ip çok uzun.This string is very long.
  • İki ip masanın üzerinde.Two pieces of string are on the table.
  • Kısa bir ip yeterli.A short piece of string is enough.

Watch out

The final p remains p in ipi and ipim. After a number, do not add a plural ending to the noun.
