A pair of socks can keep feet warm.

The idea

Çorap means sock. The specific plural object is çorapları; çorabım means “my sock”, with p changing to b before the vowel. In bir çift çorap, the noun after “a pair of” is singular.

Examples

  • Çorapları sabah çekmeceden aldım.I took the socks from the drawer in the morning.
  • Çorabım bugün ayağımı sıcak tutuyor.My sock is keeping my foot warm today.
  • Çoraplar yıkandıktan sonra ipte kuruyor.The socks are drying on the line after washing.
  • Bir çift çorap yeterli.One pair of socks is enough.
  • Çorabın ucu biraz delik.The toe of the sock has a small hole.
  • İki çorap çekmecede.Two socks are in the drawer.

Watch out

Keep p before plural -lar in çorapları, but use b in çorabım. Do not add a plural ending after bir çift.
