IMASU and ARIMASU
In Lesson 7, Anna was surprised at seeing many cakes at the store, and said KÊKI GA IPPAI ARIMASU (There are lots of cakes). As in this case, if the subject is an inanimate thing, we use ARIMASU. We decide whether a thing is animate or inanimate, not only on whether it is alive, but also on whether it can move of its own will.
