Hi ..you entered the following explanation on a message earlier :-
Yokum comes from adding the personal ending for me to the word yok= there isn't any

yokum= I am not here
yoksun= you are not here
yok / yoktur= he/she/it is not here or there isn't any
yokuz= we are not here
yoksunuz= you are not here
yoklar= they are not here

I would like to ask, can the same be done for Var ?

Thanks

Yes,

(ben) varım
(sen) varsın
(o) var
(biz) varız
(siz) varsınız
(onlar) varlar

But actually "yok" does NOT mean "not here". YOK says something absent.

Yokum: I am absent/away or I don't exist

so, var means the reverse:

Varım: I am in/ I am here/ I exist
