Translation: There is a dog on the bridge.

A dog is on the bridge.

should be valid too

[SamJustin201]

In Romanian, that sentence would be ”Un câine este/e pe pod”. When ”este” is at the beginning of a sentence, it is often equivalent to ”there is” in English.

"It is a dog on the bridge" is accepted 22/01/2021.

I just realised that there is no separate phrase for "there is" (e.g., "hay" in Spanish and "es gibt" in German) but rather "este" doubles as "there is" in addition to (he/she/it) is in Romanian.
