Turkish has no verb to have. It uses var for something being present and yok for it being absent, usually with the locative for the place: markette domates var. To say you have something, add the possessive: param var.
Examples
- Markette taze domates var mı?
- Are there fresh tomatoes at the shop?
- Maalesef elma yok.
- Unfortunately there are no apples.
- Bende yeterli para var.
- I have enough money.
The mistake to avoid
Var and yok have no personal endings of their own in the present.
Where this fits in
Alışveriş, Turkish A2: Shop for clothes and food: ask to try things on, talk about sizes, colours, prices and quantities.
