 Hi

 

yok means there isn´t any, eg: there is no milk - süt yok.  No problem - sorun yok

 

yok goes with var, yok = there isn´t/aren´t  var = there is/are

 

hayır just means no, like if someone offers you something and you say no thank you

 

eg: would you like some tea? No, thank you = Çay içer misiniz? Hayır, teşekkür ederim

they go against each other just about this way:

 

dir / dır / dur / dür <------versus-------> değil

 

var <--------vs--------> yok

 

evet <--------vs--------> hayır

Yok also means just ´no´ and often you hear ´yo´ instead of yok

Note that in daily speech "yok" is also used for "hayır" meaning.

 

Eve gittin mi? (Did you go home?)

Yok, gitmedim daha. (No, not yet)

 

O seni aradı mı? (Did he/she call you?)

Yok, aramadı. (No, he/she didn´t)

 

Su ister misin? (Would you like water?)

Yok, sağ olun. (No, thanks)

 

thx
