LESSON VIII
13
Possessive Verb.
As the verb sĩ denotes chiefly that something exists or is, so ũ denotes possession. It is often used interchangeably with sĩ, and is often combined with it. Thus, i sĩ ũ, he is in possession of, or, emphatically, he has.
Ũ, to have; to possess; to have existence, and, hence, sometimes to be; is; e.g. tie̍h ũ-nâng chãu--i, chiàⁿ õi-tit-ũ, there must be some one to make it, and then it will have, or possess existence..
