Have.

 The word have does ot exist in sanskrit .

How Sanskrit expresses possession instead:

Instead of saying "I have a book", Sanskrit uses a locative construction with the verb "asti" (exists). For example:

मम पुस्तकमस्ति (mama pustakam asti)

"There is a book with me", literally: "To me, a book exists."

This translates the idea of having without using a verb like “have.”

Another example:

सः मित्रमस्ति (saḥ mitram asti)

He has a friend. ("To him, there is a friend.")

Or using the dative:

तस्मै मित्रमस्ति (tasmai mitram asti)

 Same idea: “To him, a friend exists.”

Sanskrit is an inflected language with a strong emphasis on relationship through cases (like locative, dative, genitive), rather than verbs expressing possession.

This makes Sanskrit more relational and contextual than possessive in structure.
