"Bir radyom ve bir bilgisayarım var."

Translation: I have a radio and a computer.

[gerbil67]

Do you need to always specifically state the possessive of the object if its actually mine as well? bir radyoM var. I have a radio (the M means the radio ıs mıne).

As if I was to say "bir radyo var" would it mean I have a radio but its not necessarily mine.

Could you say... bir radyon var I have a radio (N thats yours) or would that need "ben senin..." to start

[AlexinNotTurkey]

If you are stating who has the radio, yes. You have to use the possessive ending in Turkish.

After doing some research, I learned that there is no real way to say "I have a radio that's yours" in Turkish (and that sentence even sounds odd in English). You can say "I have your radio" which would be "Radyon bende." :)

[gerbil67]

cool! "bende" ıt ıs then.

[bellapiko]

Glad you asked those questions gerbil67 as was gonna ask the same:)

So can you say
"Radyon bende"
?

[Marie_goforit]

Yes, you can say this.

Radyom bende. = I have my radio.
Radyon bende. = I have your radio.
Radyo bende. = I have the radio.
Radyolar bende. = I have the radios.

Radyo var. = There is a radio / There are radios.
Radyom var. = I have a radio.
Radyon var. = You have a radio.

so how would you say "I have her/his radio?"

[Marie_goforit]

I try an attempt:
Onun radyosu bende.

[tiatsi]

thanks!

Radyom *

How do you tell whether the var stands for There are/is or I have?

[Marie_goforit]

I will try to reply although I am not sure at all:

radyoM var = I have a radio __
radyo var = there is a radio

So what does computer mean? Bilgisayar is like an information counter? Makes sense.

[RaynaudM]

From wiktionary:

From bilgi (“information”) +‎ say (“to count”) +‎ -ar (simple present tense suffix). Literally "information counter".
