"There is never anyone there on Sundays."

Translation: Il n'y a jamais personne le dimanche.

[LeishaHeff]

What about the second word "there" ? The translation is There is never anyone on Sundays.

[queencapa]

Y, the adverbial pronoun "there", can refer to a place that is obvious or implied.

[JohannaRhode]

Could you explain? I still don't understand how one "y" can stand for two words.

[AngelGee4]

How does the "y" stand for both "there" in the sentence?

[gallimaufrey]

of course! I missed that - thanks queen capa - a lingot for you.

[Nicola526448]

If anyone who knows could please explain why a second 'there' is not allowed I also would appreciate it.

[CalliZowie]

So how would one say "There is never anyone on Sundays" or "There is never anyone here on Sundays"?

[russhamel]

My question exactly! I put in the word là for the second there and got buzzed.

[Charles948412]

I wrote "il n'y a jamais personne laba le dimanche" and it was accepted.

[ArpsTnd]

Could one stack negative closers? (pas, jamais, plus ...)

How about « Tu ne seras plus jamais seul »?

[cansudilcidegil]

Why does jamais come before personne here? is there a rule for this?

[Viktor453658]

Why is "Sundays" not plural in French?
(Il n'y a jamais personne "les dimanches")

[Ripcurlgirl]

le dimanche means "on Sundays".

[AariiBoo]

Why is the " n' " placed in front of the pronoun "y" and not in front of the verb "a"? Thanks in advance!

[thetomgentry]

Ne goes before the object when the structure is SOV; for example...

On ne le suggérerait jamais.

Elles ne nous parlent plus.

Je n'en sais rien.

Cela n'y ressemble pas.

[MitchellWe485525]

What is the difference between 'personne' versus 'quelq'un' such that only personne is accepted?

[thetomgentry]

Quelqu'un isn't used in negative clauses. For example, you would say « Quelqu'un est là » for 'Someone is there,' but « Personne n'est là » for 'No one is there,' and « J'ai dit quelque chose à quelqu'un » for 'I said something to someone,' but « Je n'ai rien dit à personne » for 'I didn't say anything to anyone.'

[LindaSexto2]

Why not "Il n'a jamais personne là le dimanche." It seems without là, the English translation would be, "There is never anyone on Sundays." That's an implied "there" also.

[DT92024]

Yes, I am confused as well although some commenters claim that the second "there" is in the sentence.

THERE is never anyone (there?????) on Sundays? Il y a there is/there are, so where is the second "there" coming from?

I would suggest the best translation of this sentence is There is never anyone on Sundays
