Questions & Answers about במתקן האחסון יש כמה יחידות אחסון.

What does יש mean here, and why doesn’t it change for plural?

יש is the Hebrew existential word used for there is / there are.

So:

• יש יחידה = there is a unit
• יש יחידות = there are units

In everyday Hebrew, יש stays the same whether what follows is singular or plural. That is why the sentence uses יש even though יחידות is plural.

Why does the sentence begin with במתקן האחסון instead of starting with יש?

Hebrew often puts the location first in sentences like this, especially when the speaker wants to set the scene:

• במתקן האחסון יש כמה יחידות אחסון = In the storage facility, there are several storage units.

This is very natural Hebrew. You could also say:

• יש כמה יחידות אחסון במתקן האחסון

That version is also grammatical, but the original sentence emphasizes the location first.

Why is במתקן written as one word?
