Use sabun to talk about soap and practise its common endings.
The idea
Sabun means soap. Sabunum means my soap, sabunu can mark the specific soap as an object, and sabunlar is plural. The back vowels take -um, -u and -lar here.
Examples
- Sabunum lavanta kokuyor.My soap smells of lavender.
- Ellerinizdeki sabunu suyla durulayın.Rinse the soap off your hands with water.
- Bu sabun ellerimi kurutmuyor.This soap does not dry out my hands.
- Sabunlar havluların yanında.The soaps are next to the towels.
- Banyoda sıvı sabun var mı?Is there liquid soap in the bathroom?
- Yolculuk için iki sabun gerekiyor.We need two bars of soap for the trip.

Watch out
After a number the noun stays singular: iki sabun, not iki sabunlar. The ending in sabunu can also mean someone's soap; context decides.
