Stars can be visible in a clear night sky.
The idea
Yıldız means star. The definite object is yıldızı, the plural is yıldızlar, and yıldızın connects a star to its light in yıldızın ışığı. After a number the noun stays singular: iki yıldız.
Examples
- Yıldızları gece gökyüzünde saydık.We counted the stars in the sky at night.
- Çocuk dün bir yıldızı gösterdi.Yesterday the child pointed out a star.
- Yıldızlar bulutsuz gecede parlıyor.The stars shine on a cloudless night.
- Bu yıldız çok parlak.This star is very bright.
- Yıldızın ışığı bize ulaşıyor.The star’s light reaches us.
- Gökyüzünde iki yıldız görünüyor.Two stars are visible in the sky.
