How to Talk About What You Have in Turkish: A1 Lesson with Var & Yok

Talking About What You Have: A Key Skill in Turkish

One of the most common things we do in daily conversations is talk about what we have, what we don’t have, and what exists around us. In Turkish, this is done using a simple but powerful structure: “Var & Yok.” Learning how to use this structure correctly helps you describe your home, your belongings, and everyday situations with ease.

For beginners, understanding “there is / there isn’t” and “I have / I don’t have” can be confusing at first. That’s why Turkish Lessons 4 A1: What We Have is designed to teach this topic step by step, with clear explanations and practical examples.
