Vocabulary:
|
kırmızı [= red]
bisiklet
[= bicycle; bike]
bisikletli [= with the bike]
Language Tip:
The suffix [-li] added to
the noun “bisiklet” gives the meaning of “with; in”. There are four variants
that are used to convey this meaning: [-li, -lı, -lu, -lü].
So, “bisikletli çocuk”
means [= the boy with/in the bicycle].
Look at
the following example:
Let’s say you want to say: “the
woman in the hat”, that is, the woman who has the hat. The words we are going
to need to say this in Turkish will be:
woman [= kadın]
hat [= şapka]
Then we’ll need one of the
four variants mentioned above to add to the word “hat”, depending on the
rules of vowel harmony. The sentence we are looking for will be:
şapkalı
kadın [= the woman in the hat]
