I'm attempting to translate from a greeting card I purchased:

"there is no substitute for you"

If anyone has time, it would be a great help.

My dictionary says "yerine gecmek" so ... splitting the word into a negative and adding a prefix. is where I get lost.... thank you!

Quoting christine_usa:

senin yerine koyamam literally I cant put anything on your place is one way to say this.
senin yerine gecemem -you can say it his way too but you need a subject here
