Hay (from Haber)

'Hay' is the impersonal form of the verb 'haber' and means 'there is' or 'there are'. It's used to express existence and is invariable, meaning it doesn't change for singular or plural subjects.

2

Límites

This is the plural form of 'límite' (limit). It's a masculine noun, so it takes masculine articles and adjectives. Here, it's the subject of 'hay'.

3

Diarios

This adjective means 'daily'. It agrees in gender and number with 'límites', so it's masculine plural. It specifies that the limits apply on a day-to-day basis.

4

En las transferencias

'En' means 'on' or 'in'. 'Las' is the feminine plural definite article, agreeing with 'transferencias' (transfers), which is a feminine plural noun. This phrase specifies what the limits apply to.
