没有 means 'to not have' and can be used to express that someone or something lacks something else. This can be used to express a lack of something tangible e.g. I have no bread (see e.g. 2 below) or something more abstract e.g. I have no time now (see e.g. 5 below). 没有 can be shortened to 没 without altering its meaning.
