"वह खड़ी नहीं है।"

Translation: She is not standing.

[mmarnee]

Could this be she does not stand?

[V2Blast]

The Hindi words for "sitting" and "standing" describe a state of being rather than an action. So the non-negative form of this sentence would simply mean "She is standing", not "She stands". Correspondingly, the negative form (which appears here) means "She is not standing", rather than "She does not stand".

Thank you I was confused on this one and the sitting examples

[Ben204522]

Wouldn't you need to use something like 'वह खड़ा नहीं कर रही है' to express this as the present continuous 'She is not standing'?

In this context, isn't it more of a simple present tense construction: 'She does not stand'?

Why isn't it वह नहीं खड़ी है?

[Roger423959]

Please clarify can this be used in this order?

[Gita-ji]

नहीं goes before the verb.
Here the verb is है.
The word खड़ी is an adjective.

[Nanase4367]

Ugh. I always confuse वह with "that" in some sentences since वह is used for "that", "she" or "it".

[RudrakshaJ1]

Yes

Hi

Shouldn't it be she does not stand?
