Kinda wish we didn't have to learn that by trial n error... but yay new learning! :)
No.. भाई is its plural
We can understand whether it is plural or singular from its verb .here it is पढ़ते .so we can understand that it is plural.
तुम्हारे भाई is also correct, it's a matter of respect/formality. In increasing order of respect, the 'you' pronouns are तू<तुम<आप
Because "उसके भाई" would mean "his/her brothers". उसके is used to refer to a third person, but here they're talking in second person, that's why उसके can't be used. :)
no, that's only in the oblique case. This is no oblique case, which means the plural form is the same as singular

Why does Duolingo avoid teaching us the respectful structures?? I know we need to learn all the तू, तुम forms as well. But we also need to, absolutely need to learn the आप forms as well. Plus we have no in person teacher to give us immediate corrections.
In the answer section of these kinds of sentences, why can’t they give all 3 versions….???
Can someone kindly tell me what the most respectful form is…. Is it अपने भाई घर दिन पढ़ते हैं
Here are the Duolingo lesson notes about the oblique case.
You can also go through my explanation in this discussion.
I don't think you are right because Hindi language has words taken from urdu, English,sanskrit,etc that are commonly known as विदेशज शब्द
Yes, it should but maybe duo thinks 'हर दिन' is a better translation for everyday than रोज़
तुम्हारे भई हर रोज़ पड़ते हैं। Is it wrong? Can you please help me identify my mistake?
आपके बेटियाँ अमेरिका में रहती हैं। What is wrong in this translation? If I show respect to a person and use आपके or तुम्हारे instead of तेरे; shouldn't it be accepted?
The plural form of भाई is भाई itself. Masculine nouns not ending in ा have the same singular and plural forms.
Eg: यह मेरा भाई है और वे दोनों मेरी पत्नी के भाई हैं (This is my brother and those two are my wife's brothers)
However, in the oblique case (when it is the object of a postposition), the singular भाई remains भाई while the plural भाई becomes भाइयों
Eg: यह मेरे भाई की गाड़ी है और वह मेरी पत्नी के भाइयों की गाड़ी है - This is my brother's car and that is my wife's brothers' car (The words are in the oblique case in this sentence since they are objects of the postposition की)
