"Sen gözlük takarsın."

Translation: You wear glasses.

What's the difference between "giyer" and "takar"?

[atakanksk]

tak- is for accessories

[AlsEenPoffertje]

Ah, okay! Teşekkürler! :D

[Schatzie]

Thanks! This is exactly why I checked here; I usually use the app instead.

[airafh]

Sağol!,

[lisa4duolingo]

Thanks for asking such a good question. You may not need any help remembering the different applications of these two words, but I devised something to help me remember it. In case it helps others, I've pasted it below:

You don’t takar tops or trousers so don’t giyer gloves or glasses.

Hope that helps someone out there.

[AlsEenPoffertje]

That's clever! Hopefully it'll help someone. ^_^

[Henemy]

Why not takar tops or trousers... what is the real diference in plain english... I didn't get the differnce between them. Pls explain ??

[Marie_goforit]

'giymek' is for clothes like shirts or trousers, 'takmak' is for accessories like watches or jewelry.

[AGreatUserName]

Lulu Isaac: That would mean more than one pair of glasses. One pair of glasses is a gözlük.

Also, general direct objects don't show whether they're plural or singular anyway.

(I'm using the app and always get an error when I try to reply to a comment, and my computer is dying.)

[malcmcd]

Please allow 'spectacles'.

[AlexinNotTurkey]

Hmmm,..it can be added. Be warned though, it does sound a bit dated or like Austin Powers.

[malcmcd]

I agree. However - and I do sympathize with Duolingo on this, as it must be a nightmare - one problem with using Duolingo is trying to anticipate which words will be acceptable and which will not. I thought 'spectacles' would be a safe choice since it had already been accepted in another sentence, and was free of all ambiguity; 'glasses' rather less so.

[PersianPolyglot]

I've seen both takiyorsun and takarsin , giyiyor and giyer ... Whats the difference?

[MDSARFARAZ910878]

Sen gözlükler takarsın ? İts wrong, if yes then why?

[LuluIsaac]

Why is not gözlükler ?

[ferrantclk]

Glasses are not spectacles!

[gulabshash]

Difference between giyer takarsin

[Marie_goforit]

'giymek' is for clothes like shirts or trousers, 'takmak' is for accessories like watches or jewelry.

[gulabshash]

Difference between giyer and takar

[ThomasReyn2]

Can someone explain the difference between wear and wearing. I thought this was "wearing".

[the.syrian2]

oh come on .--. really I wrote "sunglasses" corrected to " eyeglasses"

[Mumblemee]

Göz means eye and if I remember correctly sunglasses is güneş gözlük (though it's been a while since I did those vocab exercises).

[AlsEenPoffertje]

It's güneş gözlüğü since it's a compound word. :)
