== What is the verb "have" in Sinhala? ==
Hi [https://polyglotclub.com/language/sinhala Sinhala] learners! 😊<br>
The verb "have" in Sinhala is ඔබට (obata). It is a regular verb and can be conjugated in the present, past, and future tenses.  
In this lesson, we'll be talking about how to use "have" in Sinhala grammar. "Have" is used to talk about possession, experience or completion of an action. We'll cover how to use "have" in different tenses and with different subjects, and provide examples along the way.  


=== Present Tense ===
<div style="text-align:center"><strong>Let's get started!</strong></div>
The present tense of the verb "have" is ඔබට (obata). It is used to express possession or ownership of something.
__TOC__


* Person 1: ඔබට කොටසක් තියෙනවාද? (Obata kotasak thiyenawada?)
== Present Tense ==
(Do you have a cat?)
In the present tense, "have" is used to express possession or experience in Sinhala. For example, if you want to say "I have a car" in Sinhala, you would say "<strong>මම මගේ බලයක් තියනවා</strong>" (mama mage balayak tiyanna). Here, "මම" (mama) means "I", "මගේ" (mage) means "my", "බලයක්" (balayak) means "car" and "තියනවා" (tiyanna) means "have".


* Person 2: ඔහුට කොටසක් තියෙනවා. (Oputa kotasak thiyenawa.)
Let's have a look at more examples:
(I have a cat.)


=== Past Tense ===
{| class="wikitable"
The past tense of the verb "have" is ඔබට ඇති (obata ethi). It is used to express possession or ownership of something in the past.
! Sinhala !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|මම මගේ ගෙදර තියනවා || Mama mage gedara tiyanna || I have a house
|-
|ඔව්, මට රියදුරු කියනවා || Owa, mat rideyuru kiyannava || Yes, I have experience in driving
|-
|පව්ඩස් දිගටම තියනවා || Pawds digatama tiyanna || I have seen Padmasana
|}


* Person 1: ඔබට පසුගිය මිනිත්තුවක් ඇති බැවින් කියන්නේ කුමන්ද? (Obata pasugi minittuwak ethi bawin kiyannu kumanndu?)  
Note that the word "තියනවා" (tiyanna) is used for all three examples, which means "have".
(Did you have a dog before?)


* Person 2: ඔහුට පසුගිය මිනිත්තුවක් ඇති බැවින් කියානු නැත. (Oputa pasugi minittuwak ethi bawin kiyannu nath.)  
== Past Tense ==
(I did not have a dog before.)
In the past tense, "have" is used to indicate completion of an action. It can be used in different tenses with different subjects. For example, if you want to say "I had breakfast" in Sinhala, you would say "<strong>මට පැයට බෙදාහැරීම් තියෙන්නේ</strong>" (mat paayata bedahareem tiyenne). Here, "පැයට බෙදාහැරීම්" (paayata bedahareem) means "having breakfast" and "තියෙන්නේ" (tiyenne) means "had".


=== Future Tense ===
Let's look at more examples in the table below:
The future tense of the verb "have" is ඔබට ඇති (obata ethi). It is used to express possession or ownership of something in the future.


* Person 1: ඔබට ඊට කොටසක් තියෙන්නේ කුමන්ද? (Obata ita kotasak thiyennu kumanndu?)  
{| class="wikitable"
(Will you have a cat later?)
! Sinhala !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|මම වෙනස වෙන්නෝ තියේද? || Mama wenasa venno tiyedha? || Have I had/written anything new? 
|-
|දුම්රිය හඳම තරම් හොඳම වියදමක් වෙනවා || Dumriya hadama tharama hodama viyadamak venava || Dumriya had a very good income
|}
 
Note the use of the word "තියෙන්නේ" (tiyenne) for the past tense, which means "had".
 
== Future Tense ==
In the future tense, "have" is also used to indicate completion of an action which will happen in the future. For example, if you want to say "I will have a birthday party" in Sinhala, you would say "<strong>මට උපන්දිනයක් සලසන්නෙ තියෙනවා</strong>" (mat upanandinak sakasanne tiyenne). Here, "උපන්දිනයක් සලසමින්" (upanandinak salasamin) means "to celebrate a birthday party", and "තියෙනවා" (tiyenne) means "will have".


* Person 2: ඔහුට ඊට කොටසක් තියෙන්නේ. (Oputa ita kotasak thiyennu.)
Here are more examples in the table below:
(I will have a cat later.)


== Examples ==

Note the use of the word "තියෙනවා" (tiyenne) for the future tense, which means "will have".
 
== Usage with Different Subjects ==

Sinhala Grammar - How to Use "Have"

Hi Sinhala learners! 😊
In this lesson, we'll be talking about how to use "have" in Sinhala grammar. "Have" is used to talk about possession, experience or completion of an action. We'll cover how to use "have" in different tenses and with different subjects, and provide examples along the way.

Let's get started!

Present Tense

In the present tense, "have" is used to express possession or experience in Sinhala. For example, if you want to say "I have a car" in Sinhala, you would say "මම මගේ බලයක් තියනවා" (mama mage balayak tiyanna). Here, "මම" (mama) means "I", "මගේ" (mage) means "my", "බලයක්" (balayak) means "car" and "තියනවා" (tiyanna) means "have".

Let's have a look at more examples:

Sinhala Pronunciation English
මම මගේ ගෙදර තියනවා Mama mage gedara tiyanna I have a house
ඔව්, මට රියදුරු කියනවා Owa, mat rideyuru kiyannava Yes, I have experience in driving
පව්ඩස් දිගටම තියනවා Pawds digatama tiyanna I have seen Padmasana

Note that the word "තියනවා" (tiyanna) is used for all three examples, which means "have".

Past Tense

In the past tense, "have" is used to indicate completion of an action. It can be used in different tenses with different subjects. For example, if you want to say "I had breakfast" in Sinhala, you would say "මට පැයට බෙදාහැරීම් තියෙන්නේ" (mat paayata bedahareem tiyenne). Here, "පැයට බෙදාහැරීම්" (paayata bedahareem) means "having breakfast" and "තියෙන්නේ" (tiyenne) means "had".

Let's look at more examples in the table below:

Sinhala Pronunciation English
මම වෙනස වෙන්නෝ තියේද? Mama wenasa venno tiyedha? Have I had/written anything new?
දුම්රිය හඳම තරම් හොඳම වියදමක් වෙනවා Dumriya hadama tharama hodama viyadamak venava Dumriya had a very good income

Note the use of the word "තියෙන්නේ" (tiyenne) for the past tense, which means "had".

Future Tense

In the future tense, "have" is also used to indicate completion of an action which will happen in the future. For example, if you want to say "I will have a birthday party" in Sinhala, you would say "මට උපන්දිනයක් සලසන්නෙ තියෙනවා" (mat upanandinak sakasanne tiyenne). Here, "උපන්දිනයක් සලසමින්" (upanandinak salasamin) means "to celebrate a birthday party", and "තියෙනවා" (tiyenne) means "will have".

Here are more examples in the table below:

Sinhala Pronunciation English

ඔව්, ඔහු කාර්යාලයේ ගෙදර ඇතිවුණා Owa, owu karyalayay gedara ethiwanawa Yes, he will have gotten a house in the office complex

Note the use of the word "තියෙනවා" (tiyenne) for the future tense, which means "will have".

මගේ බාගතයට ඇත රටවල් නිරීක්ෂණයක් උත්තරේ Mage bagathayata etha ratawal nirikshana nak uththare There has been an investigation into my luggage
