doudi,if you are asking about hayır,then hayır means no/La

İf you are asking about Bala,then it means yes,and its the answer to a negative question

Meaning

Didnt you buy the bread?

Bala,i did

Here we use bala,i dont know anything like it in Turkish

They have evet,and hayır only,and yok has another usage

To answer this question,they use

Hayır,almadım

Or,

Evet,aldım
