## Spanish
### Etymology

Latinised respelling of Old Spanish aver, from Latin habēre, habeō (“have, hold”), probably from Proto-Italic *habēō or *haβēō, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *gʰeh₁bʰ- (“to grab, take”). Cognate with French avoir, Italian avere, Occitan aver, Portuguese haver, Romanian avea, avere, and Sardinian (Campidanese airi, Logudorese àere).
The preterite is from metathesis of the Latin perfect habuī > *haubī.

* (obsolete) to hold, to possess

    No hay muchas personas aquí.There aren't many people here.
    En el cofre había un libro antiguo.In the chest there was an antique book.
** 2013, El sueño de Morfeo, Será esta vez:Tan largo el silencio que hubo entre nosotros dosThe silence that was between the two of us was so long

* (used only in the third-person existential form) to be necessary [with que (+ infinitive) ‘to do something’]

#### 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”).
* The first and second persons are rarely attested in the preterite; their respective forms are an extrapolation.
* (past obligation): haber is used to make what is known as the imperativo retrospectivo, signifying a failed past obligation. It is used in the form infinitive + past participle, and only applies to the second person (singular or plural).

#### Conjugation

The verb haber, in addition to having one of the most irregular conjugations of all Spanish verbs, is also almost unique in the language for having different conjugations depending on the meaning. In particular:
* In the present indicative, the third-person singular construction has two distinct conjugations: the "personal" ha and the "impersonal" hay. The former is used when the definite subject is (either implicitly or explicitly) well-defined: ya ha comido ― he/she has already eaten; ha de levantarse ― he/she has to get up; the latter, meanwhile, is used when there is no definite subject, such as with the meaning "there is/are" or in the phrase hay que ("it is necessary to"). Uniquely, within the set phrase haber lugar, both ha and hay can be used. In all other tenses, however, the personal and impersonal forms are identical: había, hubo, habrá, habría, haya, hubiera/hubiese.
* In the present indicative first-person plural, the correct form is usually hemos: todavía no hemos comido ― we haven't eaten yet. The alternative form habemos is archaic and, in modern Spanish, generally considered nonstandard; however, the notable exception to this rule is the fixed phrase habérselas, in which the form (nos las) habemos remains both common and valid: hoy nos las habemos con una enfermedad horrible ― today we're dealing with a horrible disease.
Also, note that the verb is practically never used in the imperative mood in modern Spanish, since the contemporary definitions do not require it in this context. The conjugated forms outlined below are the forms that had been inherited from Latin ((tú/vos) habe, (vosotros) habed) or that had been used to some degree in old Spanish ((tú/vos) he).
$^1$Mostly obsolete, now mainly used in legal language. $^2$Argentine and Uruguayan voseo prefers the tú form for the present subjunctive. $^3$Used impersonally.
These forms are generated automatically and may not actually be used. Pronoun usage varies by region.
