Structure – I have, … We have, … I don't have…

‫ ֵאין ִלי‬,‫ֵיש ִלי‬

In English the expression I have, you have etc. contains a pronoun followed by

the verb "have". In Hebrew this expression is built differently. The verb "to have"

is expressed by,"‫ " ֵיש‬and the pronouns: I, you, he etc. are expressed by: ,‫ ְלָך‬,‫ִלי‬

‫ לֹו‬etc.. Similarly for don't, doesn't etc. we use in Hebrew – ‫ֵאין‬

To ask a question: “Do you have …?”, we just change the intonation to
questioning.
