Questions & Answers about יש מספריים קטנים בקלמר הכחול, אבל המחק לא שם.
יש is the standard Hebrew way to express existence: there is / there are.
So יש מספריים קטנים בקלמר הכחול means there are small scissors in the blue pencil case.
A useful point: יש itself does not change for singular or plural.
- יש מחק = there is an eraser
- יש מספריים = there are scissors
Hebrew usually treats מספריים as a plural-only noun, much like English scissors. Even when you mean one tool, the word is still מספריים.
If you want to emphasize one pair, you can say זוג מספריים, but in everyday Hebrew מספריים by itself is very common.
The adjective has to agree with the noun. Here מספריים takes plural agreement, and in this sentence it is treated as masculine plural, so the adjective is קטנים.
Compare:
- קטן = masculine singular
- קטנה = feminine singular
- קטנים = masculine plural
- קטנות = feminine plural
