"We eat bananas and apples."

Translation: हम केले और सेब खाते हैं।

I'm confused. What would be the difference between ho and hain? Also, why is kela and kele different but seyb is the same for both singular and plural (Sorry I don't have the hindi keyboard ;-;)?

Just like the verb 'to be' in English becomes 'is' when conjugated with 'he', 'am' when conjugated with 'I', 'are' with 'they' etc, there are different conjugations of the verb होना in Hindi.
होना is conjugated as हूँ with मैं (I), है with third-person singulars and तू (informal 'you'), हो with तुम (intermediate formal 'you') and हैं with आप (formal 'you'), हम ('we') and third-person plurals.

The plural forms of nouns depend both on the gender of the noun and its ending. For masculine nouns, only those ending with ा change form with their ending becoming े when plural. Other masculine nouns have the same singular and plural form (just like you have words like 'fish' in English whose plural form is also 'fish').

When choosing the correct answer phrase it would be helpful to hear duolingo pronounce it.

I also confused on he or ho

i know

[Madhav_Malhotra]

The 'ay' in सेब is not stressed enough. It sounds more like 'eh'. "Seb" instead of "Sayb"

[Ananya_Gaddam]

Yeah, you are right.

[Owen-Benjambavan]

Why do you not say "hoom" instead of "hain" after using "we" which includes the speaker?

[vinay92]

हूँ is reserved only for मैं (I).

For हम (we), we use हैं similar to the third person plurals.

What is the problem in "we eat apples and banana "

[LinguisticBoi]

It says "केले" not "केला" meaning it's plural. I don't see the problem with "apple and banana" though.
