What does ”l’ai”mean in French?

I'm not sure if it means "I have it" or "I got it". Maybe the meaning isn't either of these sentences. Could someone also tell what two words it is put together with?

"ai" is the verb to have coonjugated at the first person in the present : j'ai = I have.

"l' " is a "pronom personel complement d'objet direct" it refers to something or someone. je l'ai = I have it

”L’ai” is the contracted form of ”je l’ai” in French and it means ”I have it” or ”I’ve got it” in English. It is formed by combining the subject pronoun ”je” (I) with the auxiliary verb ”avoir” (to have) and the direct object pronoun ”le” (it). For example, ”Je l’ai vu hier soir” means ”I saw it last night”.

In French, ”l’ai” is a contraction of ”le/la ai”, which means ”I have it” or ”I have him/her,” depending on context

"l'ai" ist not correct. "Je l'ai" is correct.
I have it. If you ask someone if he has something. Je l'ai. Have you got this lesson ? Yes "Je l'ai".
