What's the difference between "joohe chote hote hain" and "joohe chote hain"?

[zeebo7]

Careful, it's च and not ज (pronounced choohe).

For your question, चूहे छोटे हैं would be interpreted as 'The rats are small' (Referring to a specified group). चूहे छोटे होते हैं would mean more 'Rats are small in general'.

[Liviula]

So "hote" means "are" (using the real verb) ?

Shouldn't All rats are small be accepted too?

I believe that would be "Sab choohe chote hote hain" or something along those lines

[eagersnap]

Would you ever really refer to a rat as "short"?

[LobsangC]

Have you ever seen a cartoon with rats? What is होते any way?

I asked that too because chhoote was given as short and small

[AppalaRame]

Chuhe chote hai is enough to have meaning as Rats are small, then why hothe....
What is the difference among hotaa, hote, hotee...
