(The question form may use <span class="pinyin">méi yǒu</span> <span class="hanzi">没有</span> instead of <span class="pinyin">ma</span> at the end of the sentence. The negative uses <span class="pinyin">méi yǒu</span> <span class="hanzi">没有</span> or <span class="pinyin">méi</span> <span class="hanzi">没</span> before the verb, and <span class="pinyin">le</span> <span class="hanzi">了</span> is dropped.
