There is = hay (sing)
There are = hay (pl)

There was= hubo, había
There were= hubieron, habían

Yo lo diría: No hay "yo" en equipo.

Aunque no se usa en español.

I think that your idea is basically that you wanna say No hay equipo, for example if you wanna say that does not one team about anything, then you should say There's not team.

No hay equipo.

Other example about it.

In my school there's not team to play today in the corral with my friends.

I hope this example can help you.

Sincerely yours.

Every language has neat little sayings that cannot be translated to another language without losing meaning. When you run across such a phrase, there may be a sutiable equivalent (though certainly not literal) in the target language.

Then I erase the said for me, if you say that you have a saying in your last post then I don't believe to know what is it.

I'm sorry.

I thought it was because it sounds like /ti:m/ (in Spanish)

DOH! I KNEW that. (Suspiro....) I'm getting there.........

Crotalito - no need for sorry. The phrase is definitely a play on English words, and you have to totally understand the thing that isn't being said to understand the phrase. It can't be translated into Spanish because the word "I" in English is only one letter. But the equivalent word "yo" in Spanish wouldn't sound right in a similar phrase. :)

If you're asking for a bit more about what the phrase means ... it's just that if you focus too much on yourself ("I" or "yo"!!), then you're not being a good "team player". THE TEAM is about THE TEAM and is not supposed to be about the individuals ON the team. So, literally, "There's no 'I' in 'team'" would be "no hay 'yo' en 'equipo'."
