1. Negatives of nouns and adjectives

To make a noun or adjective negative, add the word değil at the end of the adjective or noun.

Bu bir araba. (This is a car.) Bu bir araba değil. (This is not a car)
O bir ev. (That is a house.) O bir ev değil. (That is not a house)
O çok güzel. (She is very beautiful.) O çok güzel değil. (She is not very beautiful.)
Bu araba beyaz. (This car is white.) Bu araba beyaz değil. (This car is not white)

2. There is, there is not

In Turkish, there are special words for there is and there is not. In particular:

there is --> var
there is not --> yok

Let's make sentences with these words:

There is a book on the table. --> Masada bir kitap var.
There isn't a table in this room. --> Bu odada bir masa yok.

The words 'var' and 'yok' are more important than this, since they are used when you want to say "I have" or "I don't have" as well. examples:

I have a book. --> (Benim) kitabım var.
Aylin has a car. --> Aylin'in arabası var.

I don't have a car. --> (Benim) arabam yok.
My uncle does not have a daughter. --> Amcamın kızı yok.
