Synonyms
Click a synonym to see how it compares to kapı.
Kapı is the everyday word for a physical door and is used in many common phrases (e.g., kapıyı açmak — to open the door; kapıyı kapatmak — to close the door; kapı çaldı — someone is at the door). In Turkish pronunciation the second syllable is stressed; the letter 'ı' is an unrounded back vowel (similar to a short 'uh' sound). 'Giriş' is often used when referring to an entrance or entryway rather than the door object itself.
