Quoting caliptrix: değil is a noun
yok is an adjective
They are not verbs.
değil:
Quote: Cümle içinde art arda kullanılan iki veya daha çok özneyi, tümleci, yüklemi, aralarından bazılarına olumsuzluk kavramı vererek birbirine bağlayan veya yüklemin olumsuz çekimini sağlayan kelime |
The word which makes the predicate (verb) negative, or which links two or more subjects, objects, or predicates each other by giving the negative meaning for some of them, in a sentence.
yok:
Quote: 1. (sıfat) Bulunmayan, mevcut olmayan (nesne, kimse vb.), var karşıtı.
2. Yasak
3. (isim) Olmayan, bulunmayan şey
4 . (edat) "Hayır" anlamında kullanılan bir söz

1. (adjective) The thing (object, person, etc.) which doesn't exist. Opposite of "var" (exist)

These are definitions from Turkish Language Organization (TDK - Türk Dil Kurumu)
I will try to translate the examples as well.
1. (adjective) The thing (object, person, etc.) which doesn't exist. Opposite of "var" (exist)
There is not an example in TDK website for the first definiton

Drink, cigarrette forbidden

(like; "I said we don't have, but you insist")
4. (preposition/particle) A word used for "no"
-Geldiler mi?
- Yok, daha gelmediler
- Have they come?
-No, they haven't yet
5. (conjunction) A word put before the second of the sentences which are opposite.
Verdiler, ne âlâ; yok vermediler, döner gelirsin
If they give, how good (it is ok); or if they don't, you will turn back
6. (conjunction) A word used when it is suspected of the words someone said, generally, or when it is not cared
Yok kâğıdı kalmamış, yok mürekkebi iyi değilmiş, hasılı bir alay bahaneler!
He says he didn't have papers, his ink wasn't good, in short, many cloaks... (writer doesn't believe in his excuses)
7. (preposition/particle) A word put before the word which confirms an idea defended.
Yok, doğrusu iyi adam, kim ne derse desin.
Well, in fact, he is a good man, who says whatever.
If there is something wrong in the writing, about English, sorry. I am trying to improve my English. I hope this helps everyone.
Kolay gelsin  |
We English speakers are taught that Var and Yok and opposites (or complements) , but varmak is a verb, and you are saying that there is no "yokmak". I am just wondering, not critizing.
