"पीटर के मामा घर आये हैं।"

Translation: Peter's uncle has come home.

[ArvindhMani]

In Hindi, as in many other Indian languages such as Tamil, we use unique words to differentiate between relatives on our mother's and father's side of the family. The word "मामा" is a good example. Coincidentally, "mama" is also the word for "mother's brother" in Tamil.

what's the difference between "has come" and "came"?

[Elliott2804]

There is a nuance in English = has come insists that the action is over vs came is more part of a series of actions. However, quite sure "came" should be accepted by Duo when translating from Hindi. I will report.

[CaitlynKaithwas]

You are actually wrong in this context since Hindi does distinguish between the tenses. The use of हैं in the end implies use of present perfect tense(has come) while without it, the sentence would translate to simple past tense(came). eg. मैंने आम खाए | (I ate mangoes) vs. मैंने आम खाए हैं | (I have eaten mangoes)

[Olexsa]

Why not आए?

[Kanageshwa]

Why no 'ne' after the subject

[Guenter212784]

ने is only used with transitive verbs, i.e. verbs that can have a direct object (e.g. to write a book, to eat rice, etc.). Verbs of motion such as आना "to come" are considered to be intransitive.

Thanks for that.
