Questions & Answers about En el pueblo hay menos de mil habitantes.
Why is it menos de here instead of menos que for "fewer than"?
The English translation says "a thousand". Why doesn't the Spanish sentence use un mil?
Since there are many inhabitants (habitantes), why doesn't the verb hay change to a plural form?
Does pueblo always translate to "village"?
Not always. While it frequently means "village" or "small town" (as it clearly does in this sentence), pueblo can also mean "the people" of a nation or a community.
