You use a personal possessive pronoun with "var"
bir arabam var - I have a car - literally my car exists.
köpeğim var ama kedim yok - I have dogs but no cats.

Quoting bod: You use a personal possessive pronoun with "var"
bir arabam var - I have a car - literally my car exists.
köpeğim var ama kedim yok - I have dogs but no cats. |
then we don't have similar verb or form to express v.to have as with olmak expressing v.to be ?
we use var and yok instead,right ?

There are verbs:
malık olmak - to possess
sahip olmak - to acquire
But I think "to have" is usually expressed with "var" and "yok"

There is no (i do) form here ?

Quoting CANLI: Btw,is it Colayı here or Cola'yı ? |
"kola" is a generic term for any carbonated drink containing extract from a certain type of nut. Therefore it is "kolayı seviyor". But if "Cola" is a brand name like "Coke" then I think it should be "Coke'yi seviyor".

This doesn't sound very bad to me, but usually "Kola seviyor musun?" is used without any suffix because it's a general thing.
There's no I do in turkish but you can say as reply: evet seviyorum.

The c is never used as k in Turkish. It is kola.
In the 60's or 70's when "coca cola" came to Turkia we started calling it "kola". We didn't know it was a brand name and we didn't know the drink should be called coke. In fact nobody cares about these things. We simply call it kola no matter it's brand name. Even when it is pepsi you can say kola.
-Kola sever misin?
-Evet çok severim. Her gün iki litre kola içiyorum.

No, it's a brand and you cannot change a brand name. We just call coke of all brands as "kola".
