Yes, 没有 (méi yǒu) can be used in negative sentences. It is a combination of the negative adverb 没 (méi) and the verb 有 (yǒu), which means "to have". 没有 (méi yǒu) is used to indicate the absence or lack of something, similar to the English phrase "have not" or "not have".
For example:
- 我没有钱。(Wǒ méiyǒu qián.) = I don't have money.
- 他没有工作。(Tā méiyǒu gōngzuò.) = He doesn't have a job.

没有 (méi yǒu) and 没 (méi) are both negative words in Chinese, but they have slightly different meanings and usages.
1. Meaning:
没有 (méi yǒu) means "not have" or "have not (done)". It is used to indicate the absence or lack of something or the failure to do something. For example:
- 我没有钱。(Wǒ méi yǒu qián.) - I don't have money.
- 他没有来。(Tā méi yǒu lái.) - He didn't come.
没 (méi) also means "not have" or "have not (done)", but it is used in a more colloquial and informal way. It can also mean "not" or "did not". For example:
- 我没钱。(Wǒ méi qián.) - I don't have money.
- 他没来。(Tā méi lái.) - He didn't come.
- 我没说。(Wǒ méi shuō.) - I didn't say.
