yǒu

to have

In Chinese, '有' is used to express possession, existence, or being in a certain state. Similarly to English, it can be used in situations such as 'I have a book' (我有一本书) or 'There is a car over there' (那边有一辆车). It can also be used to indicate a certain condition, such as 'I'm busy' (我有忙).
