How does it change in a sentence?

Did you know?
- In Turkish slang or informal speech, if someone asks if a deal is 'done', you can respond with Net! to mean 'It is a deal!' or 'Absolutely!'
- While net means 'clear' in a conceptual sense, it is also the exact word Turkish speakers use for 'Internet' when shortened to net, as in the phrase nete girmek for 'going online'.
- Because net comes from French, it feels slightly more formal or modern in a Turkish sentence compared to native Turkic alternatives.
