Spanisch: Kann mir jemand den Zusammenhang zwischen haber und hay erklären?
Manche sagen Hay ist die dritte Person sin. von haber. Aber ich dachte man konjugiert haber doch schon wenn man das Preterito perfecrto bildet: he, has, ha, hemos, habeis, han?
Hay goes back to the verb and has overlapped with tener with the difference that today – up to some exceptions (he aquí tengo aquí, he decir = tengo que decir) – almost is used as an auxiliary term (he hablado = I have spoken).
Ha’s the third. Person Singular des presente von habr with the meaning “er/sie/es hat” or “They have (Sg.)”, mostly + Participation. Hay is the impersonal 3. Person Singular im Presente, which can be translated in German with “es gibt” within the meaning of “es exists”.
It is important to know that hay is a conjugation of haver, because one can conjugate hay or “there” in all forms of time and only in the presente is this impersonal special form that deviates from normal conjugation:
This is the auxiliary verb “haber”, which is used together with the partizip 2 to form the perfect and the other assembled times, for example:
But there is also an impersonal form:
A. hay = there are (3. Person Singular)
B. hay que + infinitivo = it is necessary to … / you must + Infinitiv
“Haber” is used as an auxiliary verb to form compound times (e.g. “he comido” – I have eaten). “Hay” is the third person Singular present form of “haber” and expresses that something is present (e.g. “hay un libro en la mesa” – there is a book on the table).
