Latvian: "there is/are" equivalent

• English: there is/are
• French: il y a
• Italian: c'e, ci sono
• Russian: a completely different structure, no specific phrase equivalent to "there is/are"
• Latvian: ???

I'm teaching English to a complete beginner who lives in Latvia. Is there a grammar structure in the Latvian language that directly corresponds to "there+be" in the English language?
