Many people put on pyjamas before bed.

The idea

Pijama means pyjamas or a pyjama set. Use pijamayı for a definite object, pijamam for my pyjamas, and pijamanın for “of the pyjamas”.

Examples

  • Pijamayı akşam yatağa koydum.I put the pyjamas on the bed in the evening.
  • Pijamam bugün dolapta duruyor.My pyjamas are in the cupboard today.
  • Pijamanın düğmesi bugün biraz gevşek.The pyjama button is a little loose today.
  • Bu pijama çok rahat.These pyjamas are very comfortable.
  • Çocuk uyumadan önce pijama giyiyor.The child puts on pyjamas before going to sleep.
  • Mavi bir pijama arıyorum.I am looking for blue pyjamas.

Watch out

Use linking y in pijamayı and linking n in pijamanın; the Turkish word is singular although English commonly uses a plural.
