  <p>The verb <span class="hanzi">有</span> (<span class="pinyin">yǒu</span>) is negated in a special way. Unlike most verbs, it is negated with <span class="hanzi">没</span> (<span class="pinyin">méi</span>), instead of <span class="hanzi">不</span> (<span class="pinyin">bù</span>). The negative form of <span class="hanzi">有</span> (<span class="pinyin">yǒu</span>) then, is <span class="hanzi">没有</span> (<span class="pinyin">méiyǒu</span>). For more on that topic, see our article on <a href="https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Negation_of_%22you%22" title="Negation of &quot;you&quot;" class="mw-redirect">negation of "you"</a>.</p>
