Time and Existence
Hana โ Japanese Tutor

ใใใพใ (arimasu) โ there is (inanimate)
ใใใพใ is used to say something exists โ but only for non-living things like books, buildings, or keys. Japanese splits 'there is' into two verbs depending on whether the thing is alive or not. If you use ใใใพใ for a person, it sounds like you're talking about an object!
