Now here's a really useful one, yo, yo, yo, yo, it sounds like a rapper, but a Chinese one. This one means it's a verb and it means to have something as in your possession. But Chinese just thought why not make various and to have one word. So, the difference here being I have something is in I possess this or there is two people here or there are no goods here or anything like that. And these are the same words in Chinese then because they just think, well, there's no real difference here. So, if you want to learn the word there is so there are use this yo let me give you a few examples.

So you can understand how closely knit there is and to have are actually because if you walk into like a store and you ask do you have this, then you might as well be asking is there this product in your wonderful store, okay, so you'll be asking your own, and then you put the name of your product and this one you can look up on your own if you're looking for something specific, you can go yo this and then the name of the product in Chinese hopefully, and then you put a mile at the end. Wonderful. If you don't know the name With the product, you can just show them and go this thing that will be yo trader don't see and then at the end your ticket to Mishima, your trigger to SEMA. And remember the Shakespeare question. That's the first time that I told you how we answer questions in Chinese really, because they're always going to be basically two questions presented to us where they're going to have correct and not correct or good and not good or not or not want and then we're just going to pick one of these options and use it as our answer.

Okay. And similarly here when someone else says do you have this or not, then if they have it, they'll just answer with yo so yo is something you'll hear so much of and that's a positive outcome if you're looking for something to hope for them to say Yo and then you can make some fish happen. Okay and more about this in this wonderful conversation of ours. These enjoy. Let's have a Lima. Your let's have a Lima.
