what is the meaning or translation of "jia1 you3" into English from Mandarin.
I actually heard this phrase in a cartoon show. Some of you may know it called "NiHao Kailan", and the character seems to be excited saying, like in celebratory manner. I think I may have the tones wrong. I don't think it is 家有.
