Have, to - Yo!

Imagine that everytime you ask somebody whether they have a certain thing, they reply "yo!"

English word : have, to
Chinese pronunciation : you3

That is actually how the chinese would often respond in Chinese. When you ask a question like:
"ni3 you3 qi4che1 ma?"
A valid reply-sentence could then be:
"you3"
Which literally means "have".
