Use pasaport for a passport and build its accusative and possessive forms.

The idea

The noun pasaport means passport. Its final t stays t before vowel-initial endings: the definite object is pasaportu and my passport is pasaportum. The last vowel o is back and rounded, so these endings use u. The plural is pasaportlar; after a number use the singular, as in iki pasaport.

Examples

  • Pasaportumu dün buldum.I found my passport yesterday.
  • Bu pasaportu bana ver.Give me this passport.
  • Onun pasaportu çantada.His or her passport is in the bag.
  • Pasaportlar masanın üzerinde.The passports are on the table.
  • İki pasaport var.There are two passports.
  • Pasaportumun süresi doldu.My passport has expired.

Watch out

Do not soften the final consonant to d: write pasaportu, not pasapordu. The form pasaportu can also mean his or her passport; context distinguishes possession from a definite object.
