Hello,

A question to native speakers of Spanish:


ejemplo: Tengo coche.

por todo lo que he oido, no es posible decir este ejemplo de otra
manera, como p.e. *Tengo un coche.

Mi pregunta es:

?Es posible referir a ese coche en frases siguientes? P.e. ?se puede
decir?:

Tengo coche. Es muy lindo. (el coche, no el hecho de tenerlo)

!Gracias de antemano para todas respuestas!

Thank you in advance,
