    Can zameen mean both floor and ground?

      Yes. Although फर्श is used a lot of times to refer to floor.

        And "land" also! But all these have a different context!

        Obviously poor people, who can't afford a bed

          Also people that like the feel of hard ground on their backs and don't like how they sink into the mattresses. Also me when I'm too tired to walk to my bed. ;)

          I think that, at least in this sentence, they want you to see the difference between सोता है and सो रहा है।

            Why is “sleep” not considered an “ing” form verb, like “stand” and “sit”?
