Questions & Answers about Daar is vanaand 'n goeie program oor die see op televisie.

What does Daar is mean here? Is it the same as English there is?

Yes. In this sentence, Daar is is the normal Afrikaans way to say that something exists or is happening: there is / there are.

So:

• Daar is ... = There is ...
• Daar is vanaand 'n goeie program ... = There is a good program tonight ...

Here daar does not mean a physical place like over there. It is the existential there, just like in English There is a problem.
