Use cüzdan for a wallet and describe whose wallet you have found or left behind.

The idea

The noun cüzdan means wallet. Although the first vowel is front ü, the last vowel is back a: the definite object is cüzdanı and my wallet is cüzdanım. The plural is cüzdanlar. The form cüzdanı can also mean his or her wallet, so use the context.

Examples

  • Cüzdanımı evde unuttum.I left my wallet at home.
  • Bu cüzdanı kim buldu?Who found this wallet?
  • Onun cüzdanı çantada.His or her wallet is in the bag.
  • İki cüzdan satın aldık.We bought two wallets.
  • Cüzdanlar masanın üstünde.The wallets are on the table.
  • Benim cüzdanım eski.My wallet is old.

Watch out

Do not choose an ending from the first vowel: write cüzdanım, not cüzdanüm. After a number use the singular iki cüzdan, without a plural ending.
