A helmet protects the head while cycling.
The idea
Kask means helmet. The definite object is kaskı, kaskım means “my helmet”, and kaskın kayışı means “the helmet’s strap”. The final k stays k in these forms.
Examples
- Kaskı sabah dolaba koydum.I put the helmet in the cupboard in the morning.
- Çocuk bisiklette kask takıyor.The child wears a helmet on the bicycle.
- Kaskım kapının yanında duruyor.My helmet is by the door.
- Bu kask başı korur.This helmet protects the head.
- Kaskın kayışını iyice bağlayın.Fasten the helmet’s strap securely.
- İki kask rafta duruyor.Two helmets are on the shelf.

Watch out
Do not change the final k to ğ in kaskı or kaskım. Context tells apart kaskın “of the helmet” and “your helmet”.
