Slippers are often worn inside the home.

The idea

Terlik means slipper. Before a vowel, k becomes ğ: terliği is the definite object and terliğim is my slipper. After iki, use singular terlik.

Examples

  • Terliği kapının yanına bıraktım.I left the slipper beside the door.
  • Terliğim bugün yatağın altında.My slipper is under the bed today.
  • İki terlik dolapta duruyor.Two slippers are in the cupboard.
  • Bu terlik çok rahat.This slipper is very comfortable.
  • Terliğin rengi açık mavi.The colour of the slipper is light blue.
  • Evde terlik giyiyorum.I wear slippers at home.

Watch out

Use iki terlik, without the plural suffix. Keep k in the bare word but write ğ before these vowel endings.
