が居る

there is; to have (a person or animal)

→ が
phrase Extremely common #153
there is; to have (a person or animal) While English uses a verb meaning "to have" to talk about family members, friends, or pets, Japanese instead says that a person or animal "exists" in your life. You put が居る (ga iru), often written in simpler script as がいる, right after the living being. For example, 猫 (neko) means "cat" and 娘 (musume) means "daughter", so 猫が居る (neko ga iru) means "there is a cat" or "I have a cat", and 娘が居る (musume ga iru) means "I have a daughter."
JA: 彼には、かわいらしい娘が居る。
EN: He has a lovely daughter.
