有
yǒu
In real, traceable use. Part of the curated seed collection; community review is coming.
To have, to own; also 'there is, there are'. With a place in front it says what is there: 家里有人 'there is someone at home'. Its negative is always 没有, never 不有: 我没有钱 'I have no money'.
Có: sở hữu một thứ gì, hoặc ở nơi nào đó có người, có vật. Cách dùng rất giống “có” của tiếng Việt: 我有一本书 (tôi có một quyển sách), 家里有人 (trong nhà có người). Dạng phủ định luôn là 没有 (không có), không bao giờ nói 不有.
VerbRegister: neutral
