How to Say ‘There are two’ in Japanese
二つあります
futa tsu ari masu
[foo-tah-tsoo tsoo ah-ree mahs]
💬 Usage Tip: [あります] is used for things that exist or are present, so [二つあります] literally means "there are two." That's why Japanese often says this where English would say "I have," as in [荷物は二つあります] for "I have two pieces of luggage."
