"Neha does not sing better than grandmother."

Translation: नेहा दादी से अच्छा नहीं गाती है।

[shemayokamaraii]

Why are we going with accha instead of behtar?

[villajidiot]

When I took Hindi in college I didn't even learn बेहतर; it was always "x से अच्छा". Could be regional/dialect variation.

[Rodedrep]

While going for a comparison you can use accha or behetar ,

[JayanthVarma]

Both are good translations for "better" because there is no context.

बेहतर itself implies an improvement in something (like quality) while अच्छा means good.

"से अच्छा" is comparative of अच्छा and means "better than".

And "से बेहतर" is also "better than" but usually indicates an improvement in quality or superiority over something.

[Gili838461]

Sorry, I do not see the difference. Better than is always in some quality

[BelleAdele]

Can someone please remind me why it is अच्छा not अच्छी in this sentence? Thanks.

[MarcinM85]

Because here अच्छा is an adverb, not an adjective. It describes a verb, not a noun. It is always in the same form regardless of the gender.

[Jeevikaa_nan]

I feel नेहा दादी से बेहतर नही गाती है is the better translation.

[LinguisticBoi]

*the बेहतर translation

[plastoquinone]

Why does the negation come before "gati" and not after?

[B96lXSTM]

As far as i remember the नहीं can be placed either before or after the verb. So it could come after गाती, that would be correct as well, but it is not as common to phrase it that way. What I have learned is that नहीं always has to be adjacent to the verb but whether you put it before or after does not matter.

Please correct me if I’m wrong or confirm if any of you have heard the same thing

[LornaMacC]

I did just that and it was marked wrong.

[H2PlaysYT]

I guess, it's just like English... 'not' comes before 'sing'... 'nahi' comes before 'gati'...

[icanconfirm]

As far as I recall, this question doesn't have an option for: दादीजी, बेहतर . Official answer: नेहा दादीजी से बेहतर नहीं गाती है

[Elliott2804]

Question has already been asked but not answered, sorry to repeat, but why not बेहतर here ?

[Sonia247917]

I think they are teaching is options. वहपर would be correct also.

[Marie-Laur625042]

why not acchi ... i don't understand ...

[LinguisticBoi]

is there a difference between using accha and behtar in comparisons

[Talaith1]

fail to understand use of achha which does not mean better but good or ok.

[BelaVeda]

This अच्छा / बेहतर thing sunk me in an attempt to get to Legendary. Hope I can try again while the memory/pain is still fresh.
