A skirt can hang on a rack or be kept in a wardrobe.
The idea
Etek means skirt. The definite object is eteği and eteğim means “my skirt”: final k becomes ğ before these vowel endings. The plural etekler keeps k.
Examples
- Eteği mağazada dikkatle inceledim.I carefully examined the skirt in the shop.
- Eteğim dolabın içinde duruyor.My skirt is in the wardrobe.
- Etekler askıda yan yana duruyor.The skirts hang side by side on the rack.
- Bu etek bana uzun geliyor.This skirt feels long on me.
- İki etek indirimde.Two skirts are on sale.
- Eteğin kumaşı çok yumuşak.The skirt’s fabric is very soft.
