To say "our war", would it be kavgamiz or kavgamaz? or something else?
Thank you!

"Kavgamız" must be the grammatically correct form.

Cheers!

kavgamız- is more like our fight or quarrel
our war- savaşımız or harbımız

Thanks so much both of you!! Both our fight and our war work for the statement.

Will someone help with this? How would you phrase this: our fight is not against flesh and blood? Is the değil at the end, like this: Kavgamiz karşi vücut ve kan değil?
or is it: Kavgamiz değil karşi vücut ve kan? I'm not sure on the word order. Thanks!

Thank you. So, for the word flesh, I would use a word for meat instead of a word for a fleshly body?

Our fight is not against meat and blood? lol, Sounds funny. But, if that's how it should be..

Do others agree that ete should be used for flesh referring to a person who is flesh and blood?
Thanks.

Ok. I looked up the word et and it does work for flesh. Thank you so much, Bladeyus. It does look better like that.
Take care.
