== Introduction ==
Hi [https://polyglotclub.com/language/yue-chinese Yue Chinese] learners! 😊<br>
The verb "have" is an important part of any language. In Yue Chinese, there are two ways to say "have". The first way is to use the verb 有 (yǒu). The second way is to use the verb 拥有 (yōngyǒu). Let's take a look at each of these verbs in more detail.
In this lesson, we will learn how to use "have" in Yue Chinese. It is a fundamental concept in the language, and you will need to master it to form complete sentences. Let's get started!


=== 有 (yǒu) ===
__TOC__
有 (yǒu) is the most common way to say "have" in Yue Chinese. It is used to express possession or ownership of something. For example:


* Person 1: 你有什么？ (Nǐ yǒu shénme?) (<translation in English: What do you have?>)
* Person 2: 我有一只猫。 (Wǒ yǒu yī zhī māo.) (<translation in English: I have a cat.>)


有 (yǒu) can also be used to express the existence of something. For example:

=== 拥有 (yōngyǒu) ===
Verb + 了 + Object + 有/冇
拥有 (yōngyǒu) is another way to say "have" in Yue Chinese. It is used to express ownership or possession of something. For example:


* Person 1: 你拥有什么？ (Nǐ yōngyǒu shénme?) (<translation in English: What do you have?>)
Let's break it down:
* Person 2: 我拥有一只猫。 (Wǒ yōngyǒu yī zhī māo.) (<translation in English: I have a cat.>)

* 有/冇: the verb that expresses "have" or "don't have"

In this lesson, we have learned how to use the verb "have" in Yue Chinese. We have looked at the two different ways to say "have" - 有 (yǒu) and 拥有 (yōngyǒu). We have also seen some examples of how to use these verbs in sentences.

* Person 2: 因為我都嫌洗碗好麻煩啊！ (yān wài ngóh dōu yìm sáiy wóhun hóu máa sīn1 aa3) (Because washing dishes is such a hassle!)
 
In this example, "sik" was used to express "to eat".
 
== Tips and Tricks ==
 
Sometimes "have" is implied in the sentence and is not explicitly expressed. For example:
 
* 你累唔累？ (néih lèui mh lèui) (Are you tired?)
 
In this example, "have" is not expressed, but it is implied that the speaker is asking if the listener has the feeling of being tired.

Yue Chinese Grammar - How to Use "Have"

Hi Yue Chinese learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn how to use "have" in Yue Chinese. It is a fundamental concept in the language, and you will need to master it to form complete sentences. Let's get started!


Don't hesitate to look into these other pages after completing this lesson: Present Tense & Possibility and Certainty.

Basic Structure[edit | edit source]

In Yue Chinese, "have" is expressed by the following structure:

Verb + 了 + Object + 有/冇

Let's break it down:

  • Verb: the action word in the sentence
  • 了: a particle used for past tense
  • Object: the thing that has been acted upon
  • 有/冇: the verb that expresses "have" or "don't have"

For example:

Yue Chinese Pronunciation English
我食咗一個蘋果有 Ngóh sìk jó yāt go pìng gwō yáuh I have eaten an apple.
佢冇去過廣州 Kéui móuh héui gwoh gwóng jāu He/She has never been to Guangzhou.

Here are some other verbs you can use in this structure:

  • 睇(tái) - see, watch
  • 聽(tīng) - listen to, hear
  • 講(góng) - speak, talk

Examples[edit | edit source]

Now let's see how to use this structure in a conversation:

  • Person 1: 你點解冇交功課？ (néih dím gáai móuh gāau gūng fo1) (Why haven't you handed in your homework?)
  • Person 2: 因為我昨晚睇緊足球冇做功課。 (yān wài ngóh jóuh máahn tái gánh jūk kàuh móuh jok gūng fo1) (Because I was watching the football match last night and didn't do my homework.)

In this example, "睇(tái)" was used to express "watching" and "冇(móuh)" was used to express "have not".

Here's another example:

  • Person 1: 你點解淨係食嘢冇洗碗？ (néih dím gáai jihng haih sìk yeh móuh sáiy wóhun) (Why do you always eat but never wash the dishes?)
  • Person 2: 因為我都嫌洗碗好麻煩啊！ (yān wài ngóh dōu yìm sáiy wóhun hóu máa sīn1 aa3) (Because washing dishes is such a hassle!)

In this example, "sik" was used to express "to eat".

Tips and Tricks[edit | edit source]

Sometimes "have" is implied in the sentence and is not explicitly expressed. For example:

  • 你累唔累？ (néih lèui mh lèui) (Are you tired?)

In this example, "have" is not expressed, but it is implied that the speaker is asking if the listener has the feeling of being tired.
