We, as well, look "from the window" but search for the lost pair of socks "in the wardrobe"

 

 

 In actual fact, to completely confuse a native english speaker, Turks don´t "look from the window" but they "look from the glass". We use pencere for both the glass and the frame. Turks make the distinction (an English maid washes the windows, a Turkish made wipes the glass)

Yes, we also look from the glass  

She is looking from the pencere (pencereden bakıyor)

She is looking from the pencere/cam (pencereden / camdan bakıyor)

He is wiping the cam (cam siliyor)
