Herkese merhaba! Smile

 

I have just come across a phrase which says: Bodrum´da yok yok.

First it seemed strange to me to see two "yok´s" next to each other and I thought it was a mistake. But then I kept on reading the text, and it suggests that there are a lot of places worth seeing in Bodrum, so I guess "Bodrum´da yok yok" means something like "There is no such thing that something doesn´t exist in Bodrum" = In Bodrum you can find everything.

 

Am I right or not even close? 

 

Çok teşekkür ederim!! Wink

Yes, you are right.

"There is no such thing that something doesn´t exist in Bodrum" = In Bodrum you can find everything.

Yok yok simply means "There is everything".
