Placement of Words

Question

I've been using different courses and they are all telling me different things which is confusing.

Is it proper to say No hay= there isn't , or to say Hay no

how about yo no versus no yo.

It say for example, do you know would it be (sabe usted) or (usted sabe)

or are all of these correct and it does not matter.

oh another follow up, if Hay is there is, then why is there is one: si hay uno - ionisme, Aug 6, 2011

Answer 1

No hay ....

Yo no ..... but you would only use the pronoun 'yo' if you really wanted to stress that you're talking about yourself as the verb will do that for you too.

I would say - ¿sabe Ud? but I'm not a native

hay = there is

sí (yes) hay (there is) uno (one) - not sure what the confusion is there

Thanks. I guess I was confused because a translation for there is, was "si hay" which would mean yes there is, but in the sentence it didn't show yes anywhere. I guess I was just confused on the other part to commit to memory saying yo no (i no) instead - ionisme, Aug 6, 2011

of not i which is regular in english. Several courses i think pimsleur teaches hay no - ionisme, Aug 6, 2011

Sí with an accent = yes, si = if. - pescador1, Aug 6, 2011
