"वह बच्चा दिल्ली आया ।"

Translation: That child came to Delhi.

[Jeevikaa_nan]

" That boy came to Delhi "should be considered.

[VishakhaS]

Yes, please report

[Pramod454198]

Okay that seems right!

[Pramod454198]

The given answer - That child came to Delhi - wouldn't it translate in Hindi to -- वह बच्चा दिल्ली आया था । ( oh ok, then it would be that child had come to Delhi!) but my ans. That child has come to Delhi wasn't accepted! Should have been, for the given sentence!

[zeebo7]

I don't understand quite what you mean.

आया है = has come

आया = came

[sarvjeetka18]

Yes ok

[sarvjeetka18]

Ok

Why do we presume this to mean "came to Delhi" without any context? Shouldn't there be a को after Delhi?

[KPSShreyas]

No in Hindi we leave out ko in such cases because it is s clear from context that the subject came 'to Delhi' even if on literally translating the sentence we get 'The child came Delhi'.
Hope it helps.
BTW I am a native speaker

[Roger423959]

Thanks for that clarification. It will come with speaking practice.

[DavidSpect5]

Why is it "to Delhi" and not "from Delhi"? I don't see any word for "to" or "from".

[Roger423959]

वह बच्चा दिल्ली से आया would be from Delhi.

[DavidSpect5]

Thank you. So से means 'from' and if से is absent the default is 'to'. That is pretty simple. Why didn't Duolingo teach that?

[Roger423959]

yes these things tend to slip through and you gradually pick them up!
