Merhabalar. I am adding your request to the list. For now, let me give you a brief explanation about it. 1- If it is a positive sentence then "a" is optional. There is a dog in the garden. Bahçede bir köpek var. Bahçede köpek var. Both of them are correct. 2- If it is a question or a negative sentence then better don't use "a". Is there a dog in the garden? Bahçede köpek var mı? There isn't any dog in the garden. Bahçede köpek yok.

Merhaba. That suffix "-ı" for the word "sınav" is not the accusative suffix. It's the genitive suffix that we use for compound nouns. "Türkçe" is a noun and "sınav" is another noun and together they make a compound noun which is "Türkçe sınavı". Türkçe sınav+ı İngilizce ders+i cep telefon+u And about the accusative suffix: we use accusative suffix only with the direct objects of the sentences. We can't use it with the subjects of the sentences. And in those sentences "film, ders, tatil" are the subjects of the sentences, that's why we can't use the accusative suffix with them. Tatil güzeldi. (Tatil is the subject) Ben tatili seviyorum (Tatil is the object)

@@LearnTurkishvia size de ya efendim

Merhabalar. Is the font not big enough when you make it full screen?

Yes still small

You're welcome, rica ederim 👍

Rica ederim.

Hayır, kullanamayız. Şöyle olmalı: - Mavi gözlü erkekten hoşlanıyorum.

Thats another case which I will teach when I start to prepare B2 lessons.

Mine = benimki, yours = seninki, his/her = onunki, ours = bizimki, yours = sizinki, theirs = onlarınki.

This is your pencil: Bu senin kalemin. This is yours: Bu seninki. So you need to use it.

Indeed there are a lot of similarities between Turkish and Urdu.

@@LearnTurkishvia Hmm. Right.. After i started learning turkish i learned many many similarities and some words with same meanings but different pronounciations.

@@LearnTurkishvia But in Urdu ki is used in a bit different sense.

Be careful: Bu benim kalemim. Onunki nerede?

@@LearnTurkishvia Onun , so a, ı, o, u has vowel harmony with i, thus ki. Onunki. teşekkürler hocam

No, no. The thing is "ki" has exception. It doesn't follow vowel harmony. It is almost always "ki".

@@LearnTurkishvia Allright now i understand.

Merhabalar. As I mentioned in this video lesson at minute 06:00, "-ki" never changes but only with "dün" and "gün" it becomes "-kü", that's the only exception.

​@@LearnTurkishvia İt changes when last vowel is ü ?

No. It only changes when you use it with "gün " or "dün".

"-lar" is optional for "onlar", you don't have to use it. "öğrenciler" is the subject of the sentence, not the direct object. Only direct objects take accusative suffixes.

@@LearnTurkishvia Anladım teşekkür ederim hocam

Rica ederim. Başarılar. 👍@@thenewhiistory_

Here "Turkish" is the name of the language, it's a noun.
