Thread:User talk:CodeCat/there be and Dutch and German

Hi,

I lost my argument with User_talk:Korn about the German "es geben" or rather, I gave up. I don't know Dutch but the Dutch "er zijn" seems to be equivalent to German ""es geben" and "es sein" (although the usage of the two differs). E.g. "Are there a lot of shops near you?" - "Gibt es viele Geschäfte neben dir?" and "There must be a way out" - "Es muss/soll ein Ausweg sein". Just a thought.
