I can say "Wo yao" which is I want...? But need confirmation on how to say 'I have' in Chinese.

Any other useful Chinese phrases I should learn? I want to speak fluent Chinese one day

GUEST24616 You can say "Wo You" for "I have" and "Wo Mei You" for "I don't have "

You should also know the phrase"Wo Yao Qu[chee-ju]..." for "I want to go..."

GUEST19226 In chinese, we say:"wo 3 yao 4”the character is :"我要”means" i want".
If you want to express some sentences , you can say:"wo 3 yao4 qu4.......+(someplace)means i want to go sp.......or wo 3 yao4 mai3.....+(something),means i want to buy sth......... there are many uses about :" wo 3 yao 4", if you want to know more , you can email me at echineselearning.com|Jennifer.zhu

In chinese , we say :"i have " as :"wo 3 you 3" ,the character is " 我有”

Here i can also give you some daily mandarin :
