In questa mini lezione di grammatica impariamo a dire che qualcosa esiste o si trova in un luogo. Usiamo there is = c’è per una sola cosa. Usiamo there are = ci sono per più cose. È molto utile per descrivere una cucina, una stanza o una casa.

Spiegazione parola per parola:
- there is = dzèr iz = c’è, c’è presente. Per il singolare.
- there are = dzèr ar = ci sono. Per il plurale.
- table = téi-bol = tavolo.
- chair = cèar = sedia.
- wall = uòl = muro / parete.

Pronuncia:
La pronuncia è approssimativa e pensata per chi inizia.
