hai, haim? I dont get it...

It seems that hai and haim are used for is and are, but are used in sentences where is and are aren't in the sentences. Can you please tell me when and how this is used?

On another thread there was this: "Mere paas ek kalam hai" (I have a pen), and hai here is "have". Is, are, have,..what else?

I asked some of my Indian co-workers this question, and the replies were not very specific.

Thanks for your help with this one.

Hi. Actually for your sentence it should be "Mere ek kalam ke paas hai " Ke paas would be"have." So your saying I one pen have. The hai and the haim are there really for when you are talking about They, She and He because the only idenfication of who your talking about is given in the verb endings and the helper verbs.

I hope I'm not completely throwing you off, and if I'm wrong sorry. But I've learned Ke Pas and Ke Sath as the have or with.
