I need a new zipper for my winter coat. If I would like to ask that in a shop, which of the following is best?

- "Yeni bir fermuar bu palto için istiyorum lütfen"
or
- "Yeni bir fermuar bu palto için gerekiyorum"
or
- "Bu palto yeni bir fermuar gerektiriyor"

I also found that "ihtiyacı olmak" means "to need", but I have no idea how to use it in a sentence? Where do I use olmak?

Someone help me please, because it's getting really cold and nasty overhere, I almost froze to death today (well not really, but I need that coat quite urgently

VARIOUS ALTERNATIVES

Bu manto (assuming it is your own garment:ladies overcoat is called "manto", "palto" is gents' overcoat) için yeni bir fermuara ihtiyacım var.
(I need a new zipper for this ladies' overcoat.)

Mantom için yeni bir fermuar istiyorum. (I want a new zipper for my overcoat)

Mantom için yeni bir fermuar gerekli. Sizde uygunu varmı? (A new ( or replacement) zipper is required for my overcoat. Do you have a suitable one?)

Bana bu mantoya uygun yeni bir fermuar verirmisiniz, lütfen? (Can you pls give me a new (replacement) zipper, suitable for this overcoat?)

NOTE: A "manto" or "palto" generally has front buttons, not a zipper. If your overcoat has a zipper, it is probably an "anorak"

Hello Elisa,

You can use one of the following ways to ask for a new zipper from a shop or shopkeeper?

-Paltom icin yeni bir fermuara ihtiyacim var / var dir.
I need a new zipper for my winter coat.

-Paltom icin yeni bir fermuar satin almak istiyorum.= I want to buy/purchase a new zipper for my winter coat.

Or you can ask the shopkeeper:

-Sizde palto icin fermuar bulunur mu? =Do you have a zipper for winter coat?

If the shop keeper says "Yes".
Then you need to ask the following sentence:

Bir tane fermuar satin alabilir miyim, lutfen?= Can I buy /purchase one zipper, please?

I hope the above information is usefull for you.

Regards

Thanks to all of you!! Appreciate it!!

(and soon I won't be cold anymore!

Thanks

Hi, here I am the voice of reason!
Elisa, if all else fails, take your palto/manto/anorak veya ceket into to the appropriate shop. Place it on the counter, indicate with you hands the broken zipper and smile a lot, nodding your head and shrugging expressively. This will get you everything you want in practically every situation, because if there is one thing about turks that exceeds every other nationality is that they really want to help you.

You can also throw back your head a bit uttering CIK! in a loud way simultaneously raising your eyebrows and rolling your eyes a bit - another completely non verbal method of communication which I guarantee will get results!
