Hi Could someone explain how the personal pronouns with in Turkish.

For eg. Benim iki yaşında bir kizim var. I have a 2 year old daughter. However, from what I have gathered "benim" means "mine" in  English equivalent you would " I".

Please help

Thank you

I hope it helps.

You are trying to find one to one correspondence between two sentences which are totally different in structure.

Let´s go by literal translation: Benim iki yaşında bir kızım var: "Mine two years old daughter exists" -> There exists a two years old daugter of mine. Now you should be able to understand where that "mine" comes from.

Similarly, if one was to translate the English sentence to Turkish: I have a 2 years old daughter -> Ben 2 yaşında bir kıza sahibim. (Not really common)

Where you use "I have xxx", we use "benim xxxim var" but they are totally different in structure. If you go around trying to find one to one literal relations all the time; you will run into a lot of problems.

I thought benim was "my" and benimki was "mine"?

I checked the link provided but can´t find "mine".
