Quoting Elisa: I think you better say "Kedilerim yok". Var/yok with the right possessive marker means "to have". |
Ah!
So Türkçe does have irregular verbs besides "to be"

You only have to remember that it doesn't have a verb for "to have". Instead you use var/yok. So instead of saying "I have a pen", in Turkish you say "My pen is there" or "My pen is not there".

So are you saying that there are ONLY two irregular verbs???
to be and to have

Quoting erdinc: "köpeğin yemeği" will be correct. |
Would this be because it is food FOR dogs as opposed to food MADE FROM dogs? I'm having a bit of difficulty understanding why:
kaynak suyu not kaynakun suyu but
köpeğin yemeği not köpek yemeği

Sorted it I think 
söylemeyi söyle-me-y-i - accusative verbal noun state.
Saati söylemeyi çok iyi öğrendin bod. Tebrikler.
"You have learnt very well the telling of the time. Congratulations."
Çok teşekkür ederim Erdinç.
However, I still have to keep looking up when to use -i and when to use -e. Until I know these instrinctively I shall keep going with this. Is it normal to omit 'saat' from times except the exact hour?

-i case when its past ...
Saat kaç?
On ikiyi beş geçiyor.
-e case when it is ... to
Saat kaç?
On ikiye beş var.
If the person asking you are talking to is aware that you are talking of time than saat might be omited. As you see in the questions saat is included so there is no need to repeat again.
