"ये लोग जवान हैं।"

Translation: These people are young.

[fredefred]

The sound of जवान reminds me a bit of the Spanish word "joven" (young) and the French word "jeune" (young).

[RanzoG]

Dude! You just discovered a new language family! We could call it the "Indo-Aryan Languages" ;)

[shrikrishna1]

It is not a new family. It is a Indo-European family. Spanish, French Italian belong to the Romance branch, while Hindi, Marathi, Bengali belong to the Indic branch.

[JSNuttall]

Yes, I'm pretty sure RanzoG knew that and was making a joke. (The Indo-Aryan languages are a subgroup of Indo-European.)

[johnny.dorelli]

And in Italian would be "giovane".

[antoniojack]

Can this also mean: These are young people?

[RanzoG]

Not unless you change the word order.

3 parts to the sentence: Subject, object, verb

yah-log / javān / hain

these-people / young / are...
Now convert to subject-verb-object syntax of English and you get: these-people / are / young

With that in mind, can you figure out how to order the words to say "These are young people"?

[Owen-Benjambavan]

Yah javan log hai?

[varsha__s]

Do javan also mean soldiers?

[ErfanRezamand]

जवान javan comes from persian and exactly the same pronunciation and meaning
