A T-shirt can be washed at the temperature on its label.

The idea

Tişört means T-shirt. The definite object is tişörtü, tişörtüm means “my T-shirt”, and tişörtte means “on or in the T-shirt”. The final t stays before the vowel endings shown.

Examples

  • Tişörtü düşük sıcaklıkta yıkadım.I washed the T-shirt at a low temperature.
  • Tişörtüm bugün çantamda duruyor.My T-shirt is in my bag today.
  • Bu tişört bana tam oluyor.This T-shirt fits me perfectly.
  • Tişörtte küçük bir leke var.There is a small stain on the T-shirt.
  • Tişörtün rengi açık yeşil.The colour of the T-shirt is light green.
  • İki tişört kuruyor.Two T-shirts are drying.

Watch out

Keep t in tişörtü and tişörtüm. After voiceless t, the location ending also begins with t: tişörtte.
