"पीटर जूलिया के घर के पास रहता है।"

Translation: Peter lives near Julia's home.

[Olivier216505]

"close by" should also be correct, no?

[emrys29]

Yes.

[KlaraMicka]

"ghar" is "home" and "house" both. The translation should reflect it.

[Bingyi_san]

Yes the both are correct but its meaning always depends on the sentence

[KlaraMicka]

There are these two meanings and which meaning is more suitable for a given situation depends on context.

[RaajkumarMS]

Can you explain the two meanings?

[B96lXSTM]

why isn't it जूलिया का घर ? why is के used?

[apubhadaram]

It's because it's in oblique case.

[Kae486202]

What do you mean oblique form? Does that mean possessive?

[vinay92]

I've written about the oblique-case in this discussion.
The Duolingo tips about it are here.
Do ask if you have questions.

Why house is incorrect,?

[vilasinisu]

Is ke ghar necessary?? Can we say "peter julia ke paas rehatha hai"?

[Anil729165]

I think "Peter Julia ke paas rehatha hai" would translate to "Peter lives near Julia". If you want to specify that he lives near her home than I think the "ke ghar" is necessary.

[johngame5]

I wrote Peter lives near to Julia’s house and it came up wrong. Is it the ‘to’?

[Bingyi_san]

Yup

[Maheshwara19]

Yeah same question. Why is "ke ghar" used? Coz it indirectly uses 'by'?

[vinay92]

The noun phrase ' जूलिया का घर' is the object of the postposition 'के पास'. As a result, it should be in the oblique case. The oblique case form of ' जूलिया का घर' is जूलिया के घर'. @B96lXSTM
