Hindi speakers sometimes bear the tendancy to drop the article in speech, which this exercise showcases.
That is wrong English. You would need an article ('a' or 'the') before 'dog'.
Yes. That is how the conjunct consonant त्+त is written. Some common words it appears in are पत्ता (leaf), उत्तर (north), वृत्त (circle), वित्त (finance) etc.
Duolingo, you need to fix the pronunciations of Voh, Yeh, and Vaha, Yaha. They are not the same thing.
Vah kutta hai means that is dog, there is no ek, how it is become that is a dog
Hindi uses the indefinite article एक much more sparingly than English. The absence of an article can either indicate definiteness ('the') or indefiniteness ('a'/'an') in most situations depending on the context. It is never wrong to include it but it is required only in a handful of situations like when introducing a brand new subject into the conversation.
