Questions & Answers about באביב יש הרבה פרחים בגינה, ובסתיו יש יותר רוח וגשם.

What does יש mean here, and why is it used twice?

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

So:

• יש הרבה פרחים = there are many flowers
• יש יותר רוח וגשם = there is more wind and rain

Hebrew uses יש for both singular and plural, so it does not change the way English is/are does.

It appears twice because the sentence has two parallel parts:

• באביב יש... = In spring, there are...
• ובסתיו יש... = And in autumn, there are...

Why are little words like ב־ and ו־ attached to the nouns instead of written separately?

In Hebrew, several very common words are written as prefixes attached to the following word.

Here:

• ב־ = in / at / during
• ו־ = and

So:

• באביב = in spring
• בגינה = in the garden / in a garden
• ובסתיו = and in autumn

This is completely normal Hebrew spelling.

Does באביב mean in spring or in the spring? And what about ?
