What do the words 'anata' and 'motte' mean?
For example:
anata wa kiiro no hon o motte imasu.
watashi wa kiiro no hon o motte imasu.
I feel like the first sentence this means 'to give', and the second one indicates 'to have' but I'm not sure.

'anata' means 'you'.
So,
anata wa kiiro no hon "w"o motte imasu.

It means "to have" or more precisely, to own something.
Ps: Next time write in Japanese

anata = You
motte = Original verb is "motsu(持つ)". It means "have" in English :)
