If 'What do you think?' is 'Co myślisz?' - how do you think you would say 'What do you have?' in Polish?

And how would you say:

  • Do you have an apartment? -
  • Do you have a present? -

  • Do you have a house? -

... and a very useful word to learn:

  • time - czas

So how would you say:

  • I have time -
