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(s)(ı) yok - He/she doesnt have a car. I correct this one after i see Laura’s post the suffix is not (sı) but only ı .Y,S,Ş,N is used when the words are finished with the letter a,e,i,o,u,ü,ö,ı (ANOTHER LESSON TO LEARN LATER)
you can form lots of sentences like this.
Challange:
try to say : i have 2 apples in my pocket

Is it: “Incine cepim iki elmalerim var.” ?
Posted 20 Apr 2008 at 12:17 am ¶@stefan: you should say: “cebimde iki elmam var” <—- thats correct as well apple has possessions.
Posted 20 Apr 2008 at 5:46 pm ¶in Turkish, we user plural forms of words rarely for things don’t alive. <—- never heard of this one myself.
“Cebimde iki elma var.” is the correct form. when you say the quantitiy of the apples you must not plural it like “elmalar”
Posted 21 Apr 2008 at 6:52 am ¶@frosgy: aint apples considered alive in turkey?
Posted 22 Apr 2008 at 4:44 pm ¶Didnt know that you dont make objects plural.
Posted 26 Apr 2008 at 10:44 pm ¶Cebimde iki tane elma var. <—- Nicely Done!!!
Posted 26 Apr 2008 at 10:45 pm ¶Are you Hungarian? This is a sentence similar to that used to prove that Hungarian and Turkish are related languages.
Posted 29 May 2008 at 6:54 am ¶Cebimde cok elma var.
In Hungarian:
Zsebemben sok alma van.
Zs=j, s=sh, the others like in Turkish.
Turkish and Hungarian are from the same origin. Ugric-Altaic Language and yes i heard about that sentence hungarian people understands it very well as well.
