A jacket can hang on a hanger or have pockets and buttons.

The idea

Ceket means jacket. The definite object is ceketi, ceketim means “my jacket”, and cekette means “in the jacket”. The final t remains before the vowel endings shown here.

Examples

  • İçeri girince ceketi askıya astım.When I went inside, I hung the jacket on the hanger.
  • Ceketim bugün askıda duruyor.My jacket is hanging on the hanger today.
  • Bu ceket bana oldukça bol.This jacket is quite loose on me.
  • Bu cekette küçük bir cep var.There is a small pocket in this jacket.
  • Ceketin düğmesi kopmuş.The jacket’s button has come off.
  • İki ceket indirimde.Two jackets are on sale.

Watch out

Keep t in ceketi and ceketim. After voiceless t, the location ending also begins with t, giving cekette.
