Grate a carrot, add lemon and count carrots for soup.

The idea

Havuç means carrot. Before a vowel its final ç becomes c: havucu is a definite object and havuca is dative.

Examples

  • Havucu salataya rendeliyorum.I grate the carrot into the salad.
  • Havuca biraz limon ekliyorum.I add a little lemon to the carrot.
  • İki havuç çorba için yeterli.Two carrots are enough for the soup.
  • Pazardan taze havuç aldım.I bought fresh carrots at the market.
  • Havuçlar buzdolabında duruyor.The carrots are in the refrigerator.
  • Çocuk havuç suyunu içiyor.The child drinks the carrot juice.

Watch out

After a number use singular havuç: iki havuç means two carrots. Havuç suyu is carrot juice.
