What could "ya" mean in Spanish?

Question

The sentence I'm trying to say is "We (currently) have __ articles since ______". So, could I put in "ya" by saying "Ya tenemos __ articulos desde ______" or should I translate it verbatim, as "Actualmente tenemos __ articulos desde ______."?

Thank you!

And translate this, too:

Por favor, no uses un traductor en línea, porque no te ayudará en esta situación.

Answer 1

'Ya' can mean 'already'.

...and your translation is:

Please, don't use an online translator because it will not help you in this situation.

Answer 2

it means yes.

like in the song: 'HEEEYYYYY YAAAAA!'

Answer 3

"ya" means "yet" or "already", depending on the context.  Your best bet is to translate as you stated in the last sentence:  "Actualmente tenemos....."

The translation for :

"Por favor, no uses un traductor en línea, porque no te ayudará en esta situación."  is as follows:

"Please, do not use online translators because they will not help in this situation (context)."

Answer 4

Ya means already.

My friend from Mexico says that if you say Ya tenemos, it could mean that you didn't have them and now you do. He says you could just say Tenemos..

The last thing means, "Please don't use an online translator, because it won't help you in this situation."

That's according to me and my friend from Mexico, so I think this is an exception. ;-)
