Spanish

Etymology

A Latinizing respelling of Old Spanish aver, from Vulgar Latin *aveo, from Latin habeō (“hold, have”), probably from Proto-Italic *habēō or *haβēō, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *gʰh₁bʰ- (“to grab, to take”).

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /aˈbeɾ/, [aˈβeɾ]

Verb

haber (first-person singular present he, first-person singular preterite hube, past participle habido)

1. (auxiliary verb taking past participle to build various perfect tenses) to have

   He trabajado muy duro durante este mes.

   I have worked very hard during this month.

   Mi hermanito me pidió más chocolate, pero ya le había dado demasiado.

   My little brother asked me for more chocolate, but I had already given him too much.

2. to hold; to possess(Can we add an example for this sense?)
3. (impersonal, in third person singular only) to exist; “there is”, “there are” (hay); “there was”, “there were” (había)
   • 2013, El sueńo de Morfeo, Será esta vez

     Tan largo el silencio que hubo entre nosotros dos

     The silence that was between the two of us was so long

   No hay muchas personas aquí.

   There aren't many people here.

4. (with “de” + infinitive) to have to do.
   • 1920, Alain René Le Sage, Historia de Gil Blas de Santillana, page 85:

     Aquí, me dijo, has de trabajar.

     Here, he told me, you have to work.

5. used to denote a past obligation

   Haberte llamado.

   I ought to have phoned you.

Usage notes

• (to have): haber is no longer used with the sense of ownership, except in some idioms. The modern term to express ownership is tener (“to have”).
• (impersonal, in third person only, to exist): In the present indicative, the only form still in use is hay (“there is, there are”). The standard third-person forms are used in other tenses and moods.
