Use dolu for a full container, place or schedule.
The idea
Say bardak dolu for a full glass and sepet elmalarla dolu for a basket full of apples. The latter names what fills it with -la.
Examples
- Bardak dolu.The glass is full.
- Dolu bir otobüs geliyor.A full bus is coming.
- Sepet elmalarla dolu.The basket is full of apples.
- Bu şişe boş değil, dolu.This bottle is not empty; it is full.
- Dolu kutular kapının yanında.The full boxes are beside the door.
- Bugün programım dolu.My schedule is full today.
Read-aloud uses a synthetic Turkish voice available on your device. Voice quality and availability vary; it does not assess your pronunciation.
No Turkish device voice is available. You can still read the text.

A full schedule concerns available time, not a container. Context tells you what is full.
