# --explanation--

`En el departamento de ingeniería hay veinticinco empleados.` - In the engineering department, there are twenty-five employees.

In Spanish, `hay` is the verb form used to say that something or someone exists in a place. It's equivalent to "there are" or "there is".

Here, `en el departamento de ingeniería` gives the location, and `veinticinco empleados` tells how many employees there are.
