你好!! I’ve watched some of your videos and i just want you to know that they are all really good. You helped me a lot. I want to ask one question (a question that’s been bugging me since the first time i try learning mandarin) "WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN “BU” ANDMEI/MEI YOU” ? I hope you have the time to answer my questions. Thank you so much.

Hi Ann0815. “bu” means no/ not. “mei you”means “haven’t” and don’t have". It is also a negative word but it’s used only for “have/has”
