Questions & Answers about יש עוד ארגזים במחסן, אבל במרתף כבר אין מקום.

What do יש and אין mean in this sentence?

They are the standard Hebrew words for existence:

• יש = there is / there are
• אין = there isn’t / there aren’t / there is no

So:

• יש עוד ארגזים במחסן = there are more boxes in the storage room
• אין מקום = there is no room / no space

In present-tense Hebrew, this is the normal way to say that something exists or does not exist somewhere.

Why is יש used with plural ארגזים? Shouldn’t it change to match the plural?

No. יש does not change for singular or plural.

You say:

• יש ארגז = there is a box
• יש ארגזים = there are boxes

And similarly:

• אין ארגז = there is no box
• אין ארגזים = there are no boxes

So יש and אין are fixed forms in this kind of sentence.
