"Nie ma tutaj węży."

Translation: There are no snakes here.

[Nngpi]

Rozumiem, że 'tutaj' nie jest 'na samolocie'.

[immery]

I think you mean "w samolocie" (inside the plane), but no snakes "na samolocie" on the plane's roof is important too.

[Nngpi]

Aha, you're right! Dziękuję bardzo!

Exactly what a bunch of snakes would've said

[wiktorka234]

W jakim przypadku jest tutaj "węży?"

[Jellei]

Dopełniacz (Genitive), z powodu negacji. "Są tutaj węże" to biernik (Accusative).

[polec2]

What would the opposite be?

"Jest tutaj węże" or "Tu jest węże"?

[immery]

the verb form is "są" but both tu and tutaj are ok

tu/tutaj są węże. Węże są tutaj.

[AstroEnrico]

Is there a difference between węży and wężów? Both seem to be accepted here

[Jellei]

Both are considered correct Genitive plural forms for a snake. However, "węży" seems to be several times more common.

Basically the plot of Harry Potter

[Tine175312]

The female voice sounds so sad saying this sentence :')

[lhKmRJ]

please accept also: here are no snakes

[Jellei]

Well, but that's rather "Tutaj nie ma węży". More focus on 'here' than on the absence of snakes.

[Diana76158]

confused over which verb to use for there is/there are
Sometimes it is jest/sa but sometimes it is ma
What is the rule?

[Jellei]

Generally, "there is" translates to "jest", "there are" translates to "są" - although sometimes the grammar is just different, e.g. you also commented on a sentence with "there are a lot of snakes", but in Polish "dużo" (a lot of) is grammatically singular.

However, "there isn't" and "there aren't" both translate to "nie ma", which literally means "there has not", which of course doesn't make any sense in English. It's something that you just need to remember.
