"Benim bir cevabım yok."
Translation:I do not have an answer.

Turkish structures this thought using the possessive (my) , which is a little different from the way we do it with the nominative (I). It's almost like you're saying, "There isn't my answer" or "My answer doesn't exist."
Russaf, you use "değil" in: "iyi değilim"="i am not well", "kedim değilsin"="you are not my cat"...etc. You use "yok" in: "kedi burada yok"="there is no cat here", the opposite of: "there is a cat here"= "burada bir kedi var".
missraj, sheridanZoy answers your question in his/her comment above. Please, take time to read it. Thanks.
how you would say "it s not my answer? " cause this is what i answered :(
Sure. It's usually for situations where there might be many answers, and you have none. ("I don't have THE answer" implies that there's one answer, or one best answer.)
This is particularly common with open-ended questions, as sainio says. For example, if someone asks why something happened, you could say "I don't have an answer to that."
What is the difference between "My answer is no" and "I don't have an answer" in Turkish?
Raftaarinho, nobody can know what you really answered. Here we are only students more or less advanced and we try to help each other.
Raftaarinho, when you finish a lesson, do you have on the left below "review lesson"? If you clik here, before to begin next lesson, you have each sentence with your answer and the right answer by Duo. Very usefull. But it is possible only at that time, not when you finish a level or the whole skill. Hope it works for you.
