Herkese merhaba,

There isn´t anything in the garden


Which one of the following is correct?

1- Bahçede hiç bir şey değil

2- Bahçede hiç bir şey yok

3- Bahçede herhangi bir şey değil

4- Bahçede herhangi bir şey yok

In other words, when we went to say "anything", when do we use hiç and when do we use herhangi?

And if we want to say "there isn´t", when do we use yok and when do we use değil?

Quoting HaydiDeer

Herkese merhaba,

There isn´t anything in the garden


Which one of the following is correct?

1- Bahçede hiç bir şey değil

2- Bahçede hiç bir şey yok = There is nothing in the garden

3- Bahçede herhangi bir şey değil

4- Bahçede herhangi bir şey yok = There isn´t anything in the garden


In other words, when we went to say "anything", when do we use hiç and when do we use herhangi?

And if we want to say "there isn´t", when do we use yok and when do we use değil?

 

Hiç = nothing

Herhangi = any

 

There isn´t anything = hiç birşey yok

It´s not that there isn´t anything = hiç birşey yok değil

 

 

There is something = birşey var

It´s not that there is something = birşey var değil

 

There is no need for "değil" when there is "yok".
