Home and clothes

What holds these lists together

One word does a lot of work here: ev is house, flat and home all at once. A flat in a block is a daire, the block itself an apartman, and an advert often says 2+1 — two bedrooms and a living room. From the first pieces of furniture the lists move on to rent, deposit and the caretaker, in many buildings the kapıcı, and to what breaks. For clothes Turkish has two verbs where English says “wear” or “put on”: clothes you put on (giymek), glasses, rings and hats you attach (takmak).

For example: ev (house, flat, home), kıyafet (clothes, item of clothing), çatı (roof), emlakçı (estate agent), tamir etmek (to repair, to fix)

Spread across the levels

The category runs across the levels — it is an area, not a difficulty. If you practise it, you can also choose a level at the top of the practice page and then get only the part that sits there.
