"मेरा बेटा स्कूल नहीं जाता है।"

[Sandeepbalan]

"My son is not going to the school". How matching is this answer to the above sentence?

[Purva1405]

"My son is not going to the school."

It is a kind of continuous tense verb.

The appropriate translation for this one would be:

मेरा बेटा स्कूल नहीं जा रहा है

As you see, the meaning differs slightly.

[Sandeepbalan]

Oh. I see. well explained

No preposition is required in Hindi for स्कूल?

[bannigeri]

the verb जाना requires no prepositions, it means "to go to". So when you say "I go to school", all you need to say is मैं स्कूल जाता हूँ

I saw "boy" as an option on the clickable section, and some Americans call their kids "their boys" or "their boy". It might be better to exclude that option completely since it could be confusing. Also, a great Hindi course so far for an American-born desi like me, since I speak Gujarati and not Hindi.

Is there a better translation in Hindi for "school"? Maybe विद्यालय ?

[prvashisht]

True but it's almost never used in day to day Hindi.

I am a little confused. This appears to be a negative sentence but "hai" is included at the end. This is different from other threads that I have seen where people post similar issues. Is either appropriate, or colloquial, or is there some nuance of the grammar that I am missing?

[jijiofficial]

My son dose not go to school

[emilianabarilla]

I'm wondering if the general habit is to omit है at the end of negative sentences(like the majority of the other threads I read) or, as in this case, to use it. A bit confused on the actual use, anyone can help me understand? धन्यवाद
