"When we say, Fabio has got three Armani suits, we mean he has them. When we say, Fabio has gotten three Armani suits, we mean he's acquired or obtained them. It's a useful distinction" (O'Conner, Who Is I 191).
has got 3 Armani suits = มีสูท 3 ตัว คือบอกเฉยๆว่าฉันมีสูทอยู่ 3 ตัวนะ ไม่ได้เน้นว่าได้ตั้งแต่เมื่อไร รู้แต่ว่ามี
้has gotten 3 Armani suits = ฉัน(เพิ่ง)มีสูท 3 ตัว คือคนพูดเน้นไปที่การมี,การได้รับสูท ว่าฉันได้สูทมานะ เมื่อไรไม่รู้ แต่เนี่ยตอนนี้ฉันเลยมีสูทอยู่ 3 ตัว

"I got" means "I received"
"I have" means "I possess"
"I've got" means "I possess" (but is considered informal and incorrect in formal or written usage, although still widely used. It means exactly the same as "I have" and has nothing to do with "I've gotten")
"I've gotten" does not mean the same as "I've got", but rather "I have received"
Example Sentence:
Over the years I've gotten three microwaves from my aunt for my birthday, but this year I got a refrigerator from my uncle instead. Therefore I have three microwaves and one refrigerator so now I've got a lot of stuff in my house.
I've gotten does not equal "I've got"/"I have".
>> "I've got" is correct English "I got" ain't!
Not in American English (which is what the OP asked). I've got is considered incorrect, and 90% of the time Americans will say: "I have". (I personally never say "I've got", and it sort of grates on me when other people say it.)
>> Isn't "I got" the informal form to say "I have" in American English?
Not at all. They don't mean the same thing at all in *American English*. "I got" means "I received"; "I have" means "I possess", and "I've got" is just an informal way of saying "I have".

Um. No... "I got" does not = "I've got", at least in American English. "I got" means "I received" as in: "I got it from my mother", whereas "I've got" simply means "I have": "I've got a pen."
อืมม์ แต่พออ่านที่รัตน์เอามา ก้อคิดว่าเข้าใจนะ
แสดงว่าเราสามารถพูดได้ 2 แบบ เช่น i have 3 candies หรือ i have got 3 candies ก้อมีความหมายเหมือนกัน ใช่มั๊ยคะ
