"हाथी बड़े केले खाते हैं।"

Translation: Elephants eat big bananas.

[neilymon]

please accept "large" instead of "big" - thanks!

[Peacefulautistic]

"Elephants eat large bananas" should be accepted as big and large are the same!

[V2Blast]

Report it.

[RobbieCalifornia]

Minor point— in sentence building exercises, the first word of the sentence shouldn’t be written with a capital letter in the word box — this alerts the user that it’s definitely the first word. Of course some words must always be capitalized (proper nouns), but not elephants!

[mjrobbo]

So "Big elephants eat bananas" would be:
बड़े हाथी केले खाते हैं ?

The adjective always goes before the noun?

[kirangarewal]

Yes, that is correct. Like in English, the adjective always goes before the noun it describes in Hindi.

[malenkiyslon]

how to know when a noun needs an article (e.g the elephants) and when it does not?

[Peacefulautistic]

They have it funky on here for grammar based on that, in Hindi it requires "एक (ek)" to use the article "a/an" and without "एक (ek)" it has an implied "the"

[Azeezah.]

How do we know that there is more than one elephant?

[Kevin353755]

In this sentence the plurality of हाथी is indicated in the plural form of the verbs खाते हैं . If we were just talking about one elephant, it would be हाथी बड़े केले खाता है .

This is similar to English words with identical singular and plural forms, like "sheep". "My sheep eats apples" would refer to a singular sheep, but "my sheep eat apples" would refer to multiple sheep.

This is another one in which "large" is for some reason not accepted as a translation for "बड़े".

[JoChopra]

Ridiculous not to accept large! Duo, maybe you should take the English course.
