What does มี mean?

The essential verb for possession and existence in Thai. Use มี to say you have something (ผมมีรถ - I have a car) or that something exists (มีร้านอาหาร - there is a restaurant). Unlike English, มี works for both 'have' and 'there is/are'. Essential for shopping, describing yourself, and asking about availability.
