Traditional: 沒有
Not to have; there is not, there are no. It is the negative of 有, which never takes 不. Before a verb it means 'did not, have not': 我没有去 'I didn't go'. In speech it is often shortened to 没: 我没钱 'I have no money'.
Không có: không sở hữu, hoặc ở đâu đó không có người, không có vật. Đây là dạng phủ định của 有, vì động từ này không bao giờ đi với 不. Đứng trước động từ thì nghĩa là “chưa, đã không”: 我没有去 (tôi đã không đi). Khi nói thường rút gọn thành 没: 我没钱 (tôi không có tiền).
