Learn Turkish: Arabada hiç yer yok. - There is no space at all in the car.

In Turkish, yok (meaning "there is not" or "does not exist") usually goes at the end of the sentence. It acts like the verb here, and Turkish typically puts the verb last. So instead of "there is no space", Turkish literally builds the sentence as "space exists-not".

What is the purpose of the word hiç here?

hiç translates to "any" or "at all" when used in negative sentences. While yer yok simply means "there is no space", adding hiç makes the statement stronger. hiç yer yok means "there is no space at all" or "there is absolutely zero room".

Does yer mean "place" or "space"?

It can mean both! While yer often translates to "place", "location", or "floor", in this context it refers to physical capacity. Using yer is the standard, natural way to say "room" or "space" when talking about seating or packing in Turkish.

Why does the word for car (araba) have -da attached to it?

The -da ending is the Turkish equivalent of "in", "on", or "at" (called the locative suffix). Attaching it directly to araba (car) changes the meaning to "in the car" (arabada). This establishes where the space does not exist.
