haven't

Thus I haven't any money would typically be I don't have any money or occasionally I haven't got any money, but very rarely as I haven't any money, which would be more common in British English. Auxiliary use, as in I haven't seen him, is fully standard in all varieties. ==== Synonyms ==== hain't, han't (both dialectal, archaic) === References ===
