Yes?

a son is mine
a father is mine
yeah, they do
the problem crops up because we can also use the same verb to refer to past tense and also to necessity

>>225333232
>Do the statements "I have a father" and "I have a son" have the same meaning?
confusing question
i mean, the word "have" has the same meaning within both statements
but, father doesn't mean the same thing as son of course

>>225333232
My idea is that everyone has or had a father but not everyone will have a son.

I have a father = there is a father.
Something I figured out from the mandarin word for have a X which is the same as the word for there is a X

>>225333232
no, just change the tense and it becomes obvious they're the opposites of each other

>I had a father
death is implied

>I had a son
birth is implied

death and birth are opposites.
