Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, ¶ Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, ¶ While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, ¶ As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. ¶ 'Tis some visitor, I muttered, tapping at my chamber door — ¶ Only this, and nothing more..
He gave a rap on the door.
- Kapıya hafifçe vurdu.
The teacher patted me on the back.
- Öğretmen sırtıma hafifçe vurdu.
Tom gave Mary a pat on the shoulder.
- Tom Mary'nin omuzuna hafifçe vurdu.
