Tavşan

rabbit

Turkish → English

Example

Bahçede zıplayan beyaz bir tavşan gördüm.

I saw a white rabbit jumping in the garden.

Pronunciation: Tavşan: TAHV-shahn (ş like ‘sh’)

Grammar: ‘Tavşan’ means ‘rabbit’. ‘Bir tavşan’ = ‘a rabbit’. The verb ‘gördüm’ is simple past, first person singular. The -an on ‘zıplayan’ turns the verb ‘zıplamak’ (to jump) into an adjective (‘jumping’).
