Grapes can be sold by weight or described in bunches. Choose words that make your shopping request clear.

The idea

Üzüm names grapes without necessarily counting individual berries. Üzümler is plural; the specific object üzümü can refer to the grapes being washed. A bunch is bir salkım üzüm; raisins are kuru üzüm.

Examples

  • Üzümü büyük bir kâsede yıkıyorum.I am washing the grapes in a large bowl.
  • Bu üzümler çok tatlı.These grapes are very sweet.
  • Masada iki salkım üzüm var.There are two bunches of grapes on the table.
  • Kek için kuru üzüm aldım.I bought raisins for the cake.
  • Çekirdeksiz üzüm var mı?Do you have seedless grapes?
  • Yarım kilo üzüm yeterli.Half a kilo of grapes is enough.

Watch out

Do not translate kuru üzüm as fresh grapes: kuru changes the food to raisins. After iki salkım, keep üzüm without a plural suffix.
