The use of 有

February 21, 2008, 06:39 AM posted in General DiscussionI frequently hear chinese speakers from Taiwan,Hong Kong,Singapore and Malaysia use 有 followed by another verb. Eg:- 你有吃过吗？，你 有 看过吗？ Is this gramatically correct? Can 有 followed another verb? Or shall we omit the 有 and just say 你吃过吗？，你看过吗？Please help。

I also sometimes tend to say "你有看过吗？", hehe. I just found an interesting example in a book on Chinese dialect I have. The phrase "我有看" in Hokkien (福建话) means "我看了/我看过" in Putonghua (普通话). So it's possible that some southerners mix up "我有看" and "我看过". I think Tarcy's hunch is right. Incidentally, "你没有看过吗？" is a correct sentence, isn't it?

普通话里没有这样的说法，应该说“你吃过吗?”或者“你吃过没有?”
按照普通话的角度来看，这个说法是不对的，但是在南方，这样说的人非常多，所以对南方人来说，不一定是不对的。
其实，这种“有”的用法大概受到了方言的影响。
我听说过，台湾的这种“有”的用法明显地受到了闽南话的影响。
香港、新加坡的情况，我不太清楚，但也很可能是受到广东话或者其他南方方言的影响而产生的说法吧。
