A brush can paint a picture or cover a wall with paint.
The idea
Fırça means brush. The definite object is fırçayı; fırçayla or fırça ile means “with a brush”. In fırçanın sapı, the genitive links the brush to its handle.
Examples
- Fırçayı sabah suyla temizledim.I cleaned the brush with water in the morning.
- Çocuk fırçayla çiçek boyadı.The child painted a flower with a brush.
- Fırçam masanın kenarında duruyor.My brush is at the edge of the table.
- Bu fırçanın sapı çok uzun.The handle of this brush is very long.
- İki fırça boya kutusunda.Two brushes are in the paint box.
- Duvar için geniş bir fırça seçtik.We chose a wide brush for the wall.

Watch out
A linking y appears in fırçayı and fırçayla. In fırçanın, linking n precedes the genitive ending.
