How to say i have .... in Turkish |Teach Yourself Turkish

There is | There is NOT |I have | I don’t have

Ok todays lesson is a little different than the other grammar stuff. This one is easy but hard to understand for some people at first.

-VAR (There is | have)

-YOK (There is not | have not)

Lets try to say i have a car .

Car: araba

araba(m) var -I have a car :[You use the possesion suffix to tell that it is your car.] {Benim arabam var.}

araba(m) yok- I don’t have a car

araba(n) yok - You don’t have a car.

araba yok - There is no car.

araba(sı) yok - He/she doesnt have a car.

you can form lots of sentences like this.

“Cebimde iki elma var.” is the correct form. when you say the quantitiy of the apples you must not plural it like “elmalar”
