A wool sweater can be useful in cold weather.

The idea

Kazak means sweater in this clothing context. The definite object is kazağı and kazağım means “my sweater”: final k becomes ğ before these vowel endings. The plural kazaklar keeps k.

Examples

  • Kazağı soğuk havada giydim.I wore the sweater in cold weather.
  • Kazağım bugün dolapta duruyor.My sweater is in the cupboard today.
  • Kazaklar rafta düzenli duruyor.The sweaters are neatly arranged on the shelf.
  • Bu kazak yünden yapılmış.This sweater is made of wool.
  • Kazağın kolları biraz uzun.The sleeves of the sweater are a little long.
  • İki kazak indirimde.Two sweaters are on sale.

Watch out

Keep k in kazaklar before the consonant, but use ğ in kazağı and kazağım before vowels.
