没有

没有 is a verb meaning 'to not have' or 'there is no'. It is used to express the absence of something, often in negative statements.

The character 没 (méi) means 'not', and 有 (yǒu) means 'to have' or 'there is'. Together, they form a negative construction indicating the lack of possession or existence.

没有 is commonly used in daily conversation to state that something is missing, unavailable, or not present. It is essential for forming negative sentences in Chinese and is often paired with other words to indicate what is missing or not available.
