Quoting MEMET: there will be cats: kediler olacak
there will no cats: kediler olmayacak
is it ok bod? |
I think so - 'var' and 'yok' are used for past and present, olmak is used for future.......
kedi yoktu - there were no cats
kedi yok - there are no cats
kedi olmayacak - there will be no cats

it should be "yoktu" not "yokdu" becouse of the consonant harmony

Don't worry!!! You've certainly improved your Turkish and such mistakes are not mistakes actually, just misprints

"yarın kediler yok olacak" is also a perfectly good sentence in Turkish, but it does not mean "there will be no cats tomorrow, they will all be taken away".
It would mean "there will be no cats tomorrow, they will all be killed"
