Describe a clothes peg and where it is used.
The idea
Mandal can mean a clothes peg or clip. A specific object is mandalı, my peg is mandalım, and the plural is mandallar. In this lesson the examples concern laundry.
Examples
- Mandalı sabah çamaşıra taktım.I attached the clothes peg to the laundry in the morning.
- Renkli mandallar sepetin içinde duruyor.The colourful clothes pegs are in the basket.
- Dün mandalı ipten dikkatle çıkardık.Yesterday we carefully removed the peg from the line.
- Bu mandal kırık.This peg is broken.
- Mandalım mavi ve küçük.My peg is blue and small.
- İki mandal yere düştü.Two pegs fell to the ground.
