Fog can make distant objects harder to see.

The idea

Sis means fog. The definite object is sisi; sisle birlikte or sis ile birlikte means “with the fog”, and siste marks a situation in fog. After voiceless s, the location ending starts with t.

Examples

  • Sisi sabah pencereden gördük.We saw the fog from the window in the morning.
  • Sisle birlikte görüş azaldı.Visibility decreased with the fog.
  • Siste arabalar yavaşça ilerliyor.Cars are moving slowly in the fog.
  • Bu sis oldukça yoğun.This fog is quite dense.
  • Sisin içinden bir ışık görünüyor.A light is visible through the fog.
  • Öğlene doğru sis dağıldı.The fog cleared toward noon.

Watch out

Write siste, not sisde. Use sisi for the specific fog seen and sisle birlikte when visibility changes with it.
