"The lake is very close."

Translation: Göl çok yakında.

[leighozdemir]

is there a difference between göl yakın and gal yakında?

[ex_contributor]

I think we use them interchangeably, maybe there are subtle differences but I cannot think of any right now :)

[MarcinM85]

Is "-da" in "yakında" related to the locative case?

[AlexinNotTurkey]

It is :)

[leyla408034]

Can i say "göl yakin"

[orde90]

yes but for this translation you should also translate very so it becomes Göl çok yakın.

[leyla408034]

Yes,i forgot it ...thank you

[moradhamou]

I think we have to say : Göl çok yakın or yakındır

[AlexinNotTurkey]

"yakın" and "yakında" are both ok.
