hay

There is my son! = ¡Ahí está mi hijo!

As you can see, there is no "hay" in this sentence. Try to read the thread before posting answers that have been long given, explained and debated.

Ha ha! You guys crack me up.

Yeah, I guess monarch, or absolute ruler, would be more politically correct, but I'm a sucker for alliteration.

Don't you mean monarch?

True. Maybe James trying to use the sexist side of the English language (or the dark side, according to some).

Let's not forget the demonstrative adverb, as in "There is the house I built."

True, which would be "Allí está la casa que construí."

Context is indeed king.

Hi shelly, this thread is just perfect...well, it would be if you had given a context. Like at least one sentence.

Hay dos libros. There are two books.
Hay un lapiz. There is a pencil.

Shelly, post your whole sentence, please. Your Spanish level is good enough that you could probably post it in English, and also "try it" in Spanish.

Hi Shelley
Hay also means "there are"
