Am I the only one who noticed that they aren't drinking water? How are they alive? "क्या मे ही हु जिसने नोत की या कि पानी पीने के बिना वह लड़की । जिवित हैं?
Nice try, but it'll be क्या मैं ही हूँ जिसने नोट किया है कि पानी पिने के बिना ये लड़कियां जीवित हैं?

I think its - क्या मैं ही हूँ जिसने यह नोट किया है कि पानी पीने के बावजूद लड़कियाँ जीवित कैसे हैं?
What I do not understand is why the sentence ends with a हैं, although it is negation? Thought that negations don't need a होना
A native Urdu speaker here, trying to learn Hindi script. Although I am not grammatically inclined, The हैं in the end has nothing to do with negation. It is sometimes dropped with negation but not always. In fact the plural feminine part that हैं depicts can be incorporated with the verb at the end and can be written like लड़कियां पानी नहीं पीतैं. Please note that ैं part on the end of the original sentence depicting nasal H can also be transferred to the verb DRINK पीतैं.... LaRkiyaN paanee naheeN peeteeN. N = nasal shown with a dot (bindi) on the two accented lines over "t". That will have the same meaning without the हैं .
I think you meant to write ' लड़कियाँ पानी नहीं पीतीं' but other than that, what you are saying is correct.
Would you ever say '... पीतीं हैं |', or does adding bindi to the verb always drop the final हैं ?
You add the nasalisation to the main verb only when you have dropped the हैं (in negative sentences where it is optional)

Hmm.. am not sure about that being correct in Urdu at least.. Native Urdu speaker here..
Strict grammar requires the use of हैं, while in spoken hindi, it is often omitted
It doesnt not depend on the negation.... हैं depends on the sound plural...there we have लड़कियाँ which means girls plural so it ends with हैं
Can someone please explain the difference between "लड़के" and "लड़का"? Thanks!
Both are correct, you may or may or say हैं at the end. It has nothing to do with formal or colloquial settings. You can even incorporate the nasal ending with the verb as I have noted above.
What do you call when" theses girls are not driniking water ? " In Hindi
