In the UK a flip-flop is a light sandal, typically made of plastic or rubber, with a thong between the big and second toe. What is the usual Turkish term for it --sandalet? Tokyo (why this use of a Japanese city??)? parmak arası terlik? flip-flop? And what is the plural of the commonest used word? Tokyolar?
