A pair of gloves can keep hands warm.
The idea
Eldiven means glove. The specific plural object is eldivenleri, and eldivenim means “my glove”. In bir çift eldiven, the noun after “a pair of” remains singular.
Examples
- Eldivenleri dışarı çıkmadan giydim.I put on the gloves before going outside.
- Eldivenim bugün elimi sıcak tutuyor.My glove is keeping my hand warm today.
- Eldivenler yıkandıktan sonra kuruyor.The gloves are drying after washing.
- Bir çift eldiven yeterli.One pair of gloves is enough.
- Eldivenin parmakları biraz uzun.The fingers of the glove are a little long.
- İki eldiven çekmecede.Two gloves are in the drawer.
