Little translation -
What\'s the meaning of these texts?

[b]Türkiye’de pazarlar, geleneksel bir alışkanlık. Pazarlar her yerde. Her şehirde, semtte, ilçede, köyde. Her hafta belli bir günde. Bu pazarlarda neler mi var? \"Ne yok?\" daha doğru bir soru. Her şey var. Öncelikle yiyecekler: Sebze, meyve, peynir, zeytin, yoğurt, tereyağı ve diğerleri. Başka bir bölümde çeşit çeşit eşyalar var: Giyecekler, mutfak aletleri, hatta ayakkabı bile. Üstelik en güzeli her şey çok ucuz.[/b]

and this ...

[b]Buket : Evde yumurta var mı?
Zeynep : Var, var.
Buket : Nerede?
Zeynep : İşte şu kapta.
Buket : Åžeker nerede?
Zeynep : Dolapta, un da orada.
Buket : Vanilya yok mu?
Zeynep : Hayır var, şu çekmecede.
Buket : Süt dolapta mı?
Zeynep : Hayır, evde süt yok.
Buket : Yok mu? O zaman kek de yok![/b]

Thanks!

- In Turkey (going to)bazaars is a traditional custom. The bazaars are everywhere. In every town, district, province, village. Every week on a certain day. What are there in those bazaars? \"what is not there?\" is a more proper question. Everything is there. In particular food stuffs. Vegetable(s), fruit(s), olive(s), yoghurt, butter and others. In another section very many things: garments, kitchen appliences, even shoes. Moreover, the best thing is that, everything is very cheap.
-is there egg in the house?
-there is(there is)
-Where?
-There, in that container
-where is the sugar?
-in the cupboard, the flour is there too
-isn\'t there vanilla?
-no! there is. in that drawer.
-is the milk in the fridge?
-no. there is no milk in the house.
-isn\'t there? then there is no cake!

I tried to translate as literally as possible
