In Chinese, 有 (yǒu), means "have". You can indicate possession with Subject + 有 (yǒu) + Noun. Sound simple? It is! An example:

我 有 钱。
Wǒ yǒu qián.
"I have money"

To ask a question using the structure, just simply add "ma" at the end of the sentence. An example:

今天 你 有 课 吗?
Jīntiān nǐ yǒu kè ma?
Do you have classes today?
