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

"yok" equals "hayır" in some part of anatolia. not istanbul turkish but anatolian turkish. you know istanbul turkish is the standart turkish but there is more than one kind of turkish even in turkey.

 

in istanbul:

evet (yes)

hayır (no)

 

in some part of anatolia:

he (yes)

yok (no)

 

"yok" may be shortened as "yo" or a little long pronounced "yoo" meaning no. even may be "yoh"
