鉛筆(えんぴつ)、pencil持(も)ってる?have you got?

Have you got a pencil?

How it works

The object noun 鉛筆(えんぴつ) (pencil) sits up front with its particle dropped — common in casual speech. The verb 持つ(もつ) (hold, have) takes the te-form plus いる (be), contracted to 持ってる(もってる) (have got), which describes an ongoing state of having. Said with rising intonation, it's a relaxed question: "Got a pencil?"
