Questions & Answers about יש הרבה אנשים בתחנה, אבל חלק מהם כבר הולכים הביתה.

Why does the sentence start with יש?

יש is the standard Hebrew way to say there is / there are.

So:

• יש הרבה אנשים = There are many people

Hebrew does not use a separate dummy subject like English there. It simply uses יש plus the thing that exists.

Why is it הרבה אנשים and not something like אנשים הרבה?

In modern Hebrew, הרבה usually comes before the noun when it means many / a lot of:

• הרבה אנשים = many people
• הרבה זמן = a lot of time

This is the most natural everyday word order.

You may also see more formal/literary patterns such as אנשים רבים, which also means many people, but הרבה אנשים is much more common in speech.

Why is אנשים used here? Is it an irregular plural?

Yes. אנשים is the irregular plural of איש (man / person, depending on context).

So:

• איש = man / person
• אנשים = people

In this sentence, אנשים clearly means people, not specifically men.
