Why are you guys all giving the top guy thumbs down? He has given a perfectly legitimate answer. Only he has not used polite form. Russel and Tanaka (田中） are both correctGosh! Anyways, i’ll give him a thumbs up!My answer.There are two ways to say you have something.To say, for example, you have a book or apple, you would say ____ga arimasu (or aru, aru is the plain form of arimasu)Example I have an apple – ringo ga arimasuI have a book – hon ga arimasuTo say you have something that is animate (living) you would say ____ga imasu (iru is the plain form of imasu)Example:I have a dog – inu ga arimasuI have an older brother – ani ga arimasu.Be careful if you are trying to say HOW MANY of something you have. There are counter for nearly everything.If you want to say “I have 2 apples” you don’t say “ni ringo ga arimasu” you would say “ringo ga futatsu arimasu”. Here, futatsu is the counter for “things” a broad counter.I’ll give you the “tsu” counters1 hitotsu2 futatsu3 mittsu4 yottsu5 itsutsu6 muttsu7 nanatsu8 yattsu9 kokonotsu10 tooIf you want to count animals, the MAIN counter for animals is the “hiki” counter.Example – I have 3 dogs IS NOT “san inu ga imasu”, it is “inu ga sanbiki imasuHere are the “hiki” counters1 ippiki2 nihiki3 sanbiki 4 yonhiki5 gohiki6 roppiki7 nanahiki8 happiki9 kyuuhiki10 juppiki/jippikiSo they are the counters for animals. There are many many many counters. Counters for flat objets, round objects, birds, big animals, small animals, drinks, people, books (if you need the book counter let me know) and more.So, to completely answer your question,I have a book – hon ga arimasu (hon ga aru)I have an apple – ringo ga arimasu (ringo ga aru)Beau...
