Questions & Answers about יש מיליון אפשרויות.
יש is the Hebrew word used for there is / there are in an existential sentence.
So in יש מיליון אפשרויות, יש tells you that something exists or is available:
- יש זמן = there is time
- יש בעיה = there is a problem
- יש אפשרויות = there are possibilities
It does not change for singular vs. plural. The same יש works for both there is and there are.
In English, you say there are a million possibilities with the verb to be. In Hebrew, present-tense existential sentences usually use יש instead.
So Hebrew does not normally say something equivalent to are a million possibilities in this kind of sentence. The natural structure is:
יש + noun phrase
That is why יש מיליון אפשרויות is the normal way to say it.
