How do you say "There is/are" or "There isn't/aren't" in Māori?
Ki a au pēnei: arā te pahi.
I think like this: there's the bus (using either anei, anā or arā depending on proximity).

Ka mutu pēnei: kei korā te pahi rānei, ko te pahi tērā (ki reira) rānei.
Also like this: the bus is there or that's the bus (there).

(Je ne suis pas certain, je ne sais pas s'il y a une traduction directe ou ce que les gens disent en realité; je vais seulement par des grammaires et des dictionnaires)
(I'm not sure, I don't know if it directly translates or what people would actually say, I'm just going off grammar books and dictionaries)

Edit: Négation pour le deuxième et troisième (je ne sais pas comment pour la première):
Negation for the second and third (I don't know how to negate the first one):

Kāore te pahi kei korā - ehara tērā i te pahi
The bus isn't there - that's not the bus.

Pues, algunos dialectos de alemán dicen "ick" en lugar de "ich".
Well, a few dialects of German do say "ick" instead of "ich"...

Haut allemand n'est pas synonym pour l'allemand standard ! Il est un hyperonyme.
High German isn't a synonym for Standard German! It is a hypernym.

Wenn du das glauben willst, glaube es. Aber, wie Wikipedia sagt:

Hochdeutsch steht für:

  • Standarddeutsch, die deutsche Standardsprache
  • Hochdeutsche Dialekte, die Mundarten im mittel- und oberdeutschen Raum


If you want to believe that, believe it. But, as Wikipedia says:

Highgerman stands for:
  • Standard german, the German standard language
  • Highgerman dialects, the speech forms of the middle and South German areas
