Do you have any pets? 你有宠物吗? By the way, if you want to respond to this question, you don't need to repeat the question itself. For example, you don't need to say 我有宠物 You can just abbreviate it just to 有 or 没有 So 有 for have and 没有 for not have So I can ask you the question, 你有宠物吗? The next word was cute 可爱 How would you say your dog is very cute? 你的狗很可爱 And what was the word for really? 真 So how would you say your cat is really cute? 你的猫真可爱 And the word for fish? 鱼 How would you say my cat likes to eat fish? 我的猫很喜欢吃鱼 And the word for meat was?
