Let´s make the word game a little bit more difficult and more useful.

 

Build compounds following this pattern:

 

akşam üstü

> üst dudak

> dudak boyası

> boya fırçası

> fırça makinesi etc. etc.

 

In other words, take the latter part of the compound and use it as the first part in the next compound. Both noun compounds (çay evi) and adjective compounds (beyaz/ahşap ev) are accepted. Learners, remember that the possessive suffix is added to the modified only if the modifier is a noun. In my opinion, indefinite compounds (ev sahibi) work better in this game but if someone finds a good definite compound (evin kapısı) it does not harm or interrupt the game.

 

Hadi başlayalım.
