飼っています
May 15th 2011 10:42
I'm trying out a new textbook which works by giving images of what a statement means rather than a translation.
One of the sentences is:
彼女は馬を飼っています。
Does this mean "She has a horse" ?
One of the sentences is:
彼女は馬を飼っています。
Does this mean "She has a horse" ?

One being:
彼女は馬を飼っています。
The other:
彼らはペンを持っています。
I know that ”持っています” Means to have, so I am assuming that ”飼っています” Is the equivalent for having a pet?
If you have any question about this, please ask me again.
so it means "she is raising a horse"
However, I think it is OK to use "has" in this situation.
