Eric: And that’s all for this lesson. Don’t forget to check out the lesson notes, and we’ll see you in the next lesson!

Merhaba Cristina,

I am not sure if I understood you correctly.

The way we use var yok is very fixed. We don't conjugate the pronouns in var/yok but in the nouns.

Plan:plan

Planın: your plan (informal singular)

Planınız: yor plan (either formal singular or informal plural)

So cuma gecesi için planınız var mı is either informal plural or formal singular according to context.

:))

Hope it helped

Sevgiler

Bu hafta sonu ağabeyime gidiyorum.

Kızım bana katılacak.

Confused ...

Mıydı means did he/she/it, but formal question translated as 'do you'

So why in transcript above formal question is not:

Cuma gecesi için planınız var mısınız? ( or var mı?)
