Demonic_Duck Posted July 3, 2023 at 11:58 AM Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 at 11:58 AM Various answers and discussion here: https://www.chinese-forums.com/forums/topic/47176-negation-of-有名/ BTW the structure for a 2-syllable word XY is "X不XY", not "XY不Y", and you can't use "很" with this structure. So even if we assume "不有" are acceptable together in this situation, it'd be "这个商场有不有名？" (Or less controversially: "这个商场出不出名？") It's a pretty fun structure as you can also use it with 2-syllable English loanwords. One I heard for the first time yesterday: “你觉得这个帽子fa不fashion?” 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cateran Posted July 6, 2023 at 06:42 AM Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 at 06:42 AM I'm not sure if it's grammatically correct, but it's definitely not idiomatically correct. You can say it in the following ways: 1. 这个商场有名吗？ 2. 这个商场有不有名？ 3. 这个商场有名不有名？ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FennySH Posted July 6, 2023 at 02:52 PM Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 at 02:52 PM 有不有名？or 有没有名？ The first one is not grammatically correct, but we do say it in daily life. The second one is correct and common used. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
