Quoting CANLI:

ya da means or ?

are all of those means (or) veya, ya da, yahut; yoksa ?
İs there any difference ?



yoksa is the conditional suffix added to yok (there is/are not)

bira yoksa bir şey içmek istemiyorum
If there isn't any beer I don't want to drink anything

Quoting Ayla:

hiçbir şey (nothing) instead of bir şey (something)



Doesn't the verb need to be positive then as well?

bira yoksa hiç bir şey içmek istiyorum

Or are double negatives allowed in Turkish with the same meaning as a single negative?

I think you should use double negative

Yes, Turkish uses the double negative, where English (and Dutch) use a single negative. In Dutch, when you use a double-negative, you make it positive again

» I don't want to drink nothing = I wanna drink something

Exactly the same in English......
But very poor English!
