"The girl has skirts."

Translation: Kızın etekleri var.

[bdoulk]

Kız / kızın what is the difference? I dont think it ia tge possessive case

[JuergenZirak]

Actually it is possessive, see Ektoraskan's answer above

[chmitchy]

Why is this "etekleri" and not just "etekler?" Wouldn't this sentence actually translate as "The girl has the skirts."

[Ektoraskan]

We don't have a "have" in Turkish. The above sentence has no verb. No verb no cry-ehmm-no accusative.

Var = is/are existant.

So we say: The girl's skirts are existant.

etek (skirt) → etekler (skirts) → etekleri (her skirts)

---

P.S.: If it's going to be of any comfort to you, the accusative would have been "etekleri" as well. So good job on that!

[chmitchy]

Thanks very much for the clarification!

[Amir895313]

Why we should say(kızın) insted of (kız)?

[Ranrounati]

indefinite objects are not pluralized in Turkish so how com it's etekleri not etegi?

[AdriLeone2]

Why "kızın" intead of "kız"?

[lou885160]

2 sentences ago it was etek , for multipal dresses (not etekler) here it ís ettekler for multipal dresses. Very confusing!

[ElMarFuad]

What about 'ketekler kizde'

[ElMarFuad]

İ meant can i say 'etekler kizde'

[johnburden33]

I think that means the girl has the skirts
