Questions & Answers about yuge ga takusan aru.
It is read ゆげ.
湯 means hot water, and 気 here is part of the word for vapor/steam. As a whole, 湯気 means steam or water vapor, especially the visible steam rising from something hot.
が marks 湯気 as the thing that exists.
With ある and いる, the thing that exists is usually marked by が:
- 猫がいる。 = There is a cat.
- 本がある。 = There is a book.
- 湯気がある。 = There is steam.
So in 湯気がたくさんある, が shows that steam is the thing being talked about as existing.
Because 湯気 is not alive.
Japanese usually uses:
- いる for living things that move on their own, such as people and animals
- ある for non-living things, abstract things, and substances
Since steam is not a living thing, ある is the correct verb.
