got

== Translingual == === Etymology === Clipping of English Gothic. === Symbol === got (international standards) ISO 639-2 & ISO 639-3 language code for Gothic. === See also === Wiktionary’s coverage of Gothic terms == English == === Pronunciation === UK (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /ɡɒt/ (Standard Southern British) IPA(key): /ɡɔt/ US (General American) IPA(key): /ɡɑt/ (African-American) IPA(key): /ɡaʔ/ (New England, Boston) IPA(key): /ɡʌt/, /ɡɒt/ Australia / New Zealand (General Australian, New Zealand) IPA(key): /ɡɔt/ Rhymes: -ɒt === Etymology 1 === ==== Verb ==== got (third-person singular simple present got or (nonstandard) gots, no present participle, simple past (by suppletion) had, no past participle) Expressing obligation; used with have. (colloquial, with to) Must; have/has (to). (colloquial, regional or nonstandard) Have/has. ==== Verb ==== got simple past of get past participle of get ===== Usage notes ===== (expressing obligation): "Got" is a filler word in the following example with no obvious grammatical or semantic function: "I've got to study for my exams" has the same meaning as "I have to study for my exams". It is often stressed in speech: "You've just got to see this." (have): In nonstandard speech, "got" may be reinterpreted as a regular present tense, so that the form gots appears in the third-person singular present, e.g. She gots a red bike. (past participle of get): The second sentence literally means "At some time in the past I got (obtained) two children", but in "have got" constructions like this, where "got" is used in the sense of "obtained", the sense of obtaining is lost, becoming merely one of possessing, and the sentence is in effect just a more colloquial way of saying "I have two children". Similarly, the third sentence is just a more colloquial way of saying "How many children do you have?" (past participle of get): The American and archaic British usage of the verb conjugates as get-got-gotten or as get-got-got depending on the meaning (see Usage Notes on "get" for details), whereas the modern British usage of the verb has mostly lost this distinction and conjugates as get-got-got in most cases. Notice the idiom get got. ===== Synonyms ===== (must, have (to), have got to): gotta (informal) ===== Derived terms ===== === Etymology 2 === Analogous to Chinese 有, such as Hokkien 有 (ū), Cantonese 有 (jau5), Mandarin 有 (yǒu).
