When you want to say you have something, or there is something, you can use "있어요" and its negation is "없어요".

• 있어요

있어요 means something exists. The item in question can just simply exist or it can exist to you -- i.e. you have something. Let's look at a few examples first.

2) 저(I) 사과(apple) 있어요(have).
: I have apple.

3) 사과(apple) 있어요(have/exist).
: There's apple / I have apple.

To ask, you simply add a question mark and raise the end if you're speaking.
