Describe a quilt and where you keep it.

The idea

Yorgan means a quilt or duvet. The specific object is yorganı; yorganım means my quilt. After a number use the singular noun: iki yorgan.

Examples

  • Yorganı sabah yatağın üzerine serdik.We spread the quilt on the bed in the morning.
  • Kalın yorgan dolabın içinde duruyor.The thick quilt is in the cupboard.
  • Yorganı bugün balkonda havalandırdık.Today we aired the quilt on the balcony.
  • Bu yorgan kışın sıcak tutuyor.This quilt keeps you warm in winter.
  • Yorganım çok hafif.My quilt is very light.
  • İki yorgan misafir odasında.Two quilts are in the guest room.

Watch out

Do not confuse a quilt with a sheet: çarşaf is a bed sheet, while yorgan is a warm bed covering.
