A warm coat can be useful on a cold day.

The idea

Mont means a coat or outdoor jacket. The definite object is montu, montum means “my coat”, and montta means “in the coat”. The final t stays before the vowel endings shown here.

Examples

  • Montu sabah yağmurda giydim.I put on the coat in the rain in the morning.
  • Montum bugün beni sıcak tutuyor.My coat is keeping me warm today.
  • Bu mont kışın çok işe yarar.This coat is very useful in winter.
  • Montun fermuarı kolayca kapanıyor.The coat’s zip closes easily.
  • Montta derin iki cep var.There are two deep pockets in the coat.
  • İki mont askıda duruyor.Two coats are hanging on the rack.

Watch out

Keep t in montu and montum. After voiceless t, the location ending also begins with t, producing montta.
