Lesson22: To Have

to have = 有 (you | 一ㄡˇ)

to have here can mean ownership or existence.

For example:

Do you have any telephone? (ownership) = 你有電話嗎? (ni you dianhua ma? | ㄋㄧˇ 一ㄡˇ ㄉㄧㄢˋ ㄏㄨㄚˋ ㄇㄚ?)

Is there any telephone here? (existence) = 這裡有電話嗎? (zheli you dianhua ma? | ㄓㄜˋ ㄌㄧˇ 一ㄡˇ ㄉㄧㄢˋ ㄏㄨㄚˋ ㄇㄚ?)

So, in conclusion:

Do you have ___ ? = 你有 ___ 嗎? (ni you ___ ma? | ㄋㄧˇ 一ㄡˇ ___ ㄇㄚ?)

Is there any ____ here? = 這裡有 ____ 嗎? (zheli you ___ ma? | ㄓㄜˋ ㄌㄧˇ 一ㄡˇ ___ ㄇㄚ?)
