"Bizim evimiz orada."

Translation: Our house is there.

[pspai]

Is "bizim" necessary or optional?Because "evimiz" already suggests that the house is ours doesnt it?

[AlexinNotTurkey]

Here it is optional and it is in most cases :)

[Akash_Polyglot]

Thanks

[Patyusta]

You can say evimiz without bizim still the same meaning :-) :-)

[sevdigim.dil.TUR]

the same thing going in my mind

[Jenkiz92]

When i'm listening i still wonder that orada is just pronounced as "orda", etc.
Is there a relatively good rule for that? I mean the pronounciation.

[Ektoraskan]

Most people just drop the second vowels in "burada, şurada, orada, nerede"; and the third vowels in "yukarıda, aşağıda, içeride, dışarıda, ileride."

I personally don't drop them, but I'm a minority.

Conclusion: It's up to you.

[ChickenRunner02]

So is it between r and d?

[Ektoraskan]

Yes.

[Rewm]

There are a few other cases of shorter pronunciation, e.g.:
Ne haber> naber
dakika>dakka

[ChickenRunner02]

How do you know it is 'our house is there', not 'there is our house'?

[EnzoSilvestro]

Both are accepted.

I'm confused about the meaning of "there is" as "it exists" ( = var) and "it is in this location". My translation said "There is our house" and I thought of "There is" as "var" like if someone would said "Well, there is/exists our house, and there is/exists my stepfathers house, I spend time in both". But if you translate it as "Our house is there" it gets obvious that it is about a location. My head still gets messed up about this...

[FadouaOuni]

Can anyone please clarify the difference between "orada" and "şurada" for me, as they both seem to be meaning "there" (as opposed to "burada" meaning "here") :)

[Gizzemo28]

I think if you're being technical 'orada' means 'over there' (which is also accepted as an answer) while 'şurada' distinctly means 'there', but they're basically the same.

[Ishana92]

is it like japanese or russian near me, near you, and over there?

[PtyPotam]

I found that in a previous discussion (https://forum.duolingo.com/comment/9164323) :
"Burada means "here." Both şurada and orada mean "there," but orada is further away from the speaker. :) It can also mean "over there" depending on the context :)"

[PelosBusso]

Pronunciation: Apart from orada becoming "orda" I also hear "evimez" for evimiz here. Is it only me?

[Chris279882]

'evemiz' sounds like edimiz when spoken. Is 'v' is pronounced as 'd', in a similar way to a Spanish 'b' being pronounced like a 'v'?
