Feel free to take two each.  -1. akvaryum -2. dosya -3. elektrikli -4. fantaziye -5. isteri -6. istimbot -7. jilet -8. kebab -9. kismetli -10. kolej -11. lastikli -12. manken -13. muskir -14. otocar -15. paspas -16. perili -17. pikap -18. purdeli -19. sansur -20. sinema filimi -21. sirk -22. sivil -23. sultani -24. viyolonsel -25. zurafa -a. automobile -b. cello -c. censorship -d. circus -e. college -f. imaginative display -g. doormat -h. file -i. fishtank -j. giraffe -k. hysteria -l. imperial -m. intoxicating, pungent -n. live wire -o. lucky -p. movie -q. plainclothesman -r. record player with tone arm -s. roast -t. rubber -u. safety razor -v. scarecrow -w. sinister -x. steamboat -y. veiled, perplexing 
The moon is actually more useful than the sun since the moon gives us light at night when it's dark. The sun only gives us light during the day when it's already bright out.
