"This woman does not eat rice."

Translation: यह औरत चावल नहीं खाती।

[Theophaniaa]

I struggle with when to put nahi before or after

[yuhua1a]

Generally it goes before the verb

[MarksAaron]

Why does this not have है at the end?

[zeebo7]

You can leave out the है for negative sentances, but it is also okay to include it.

[army_girl21.]

No, Itz not just the same u wanna say

[army_girl21.]

I guess coz this is a usual quality of her, she never eats rice is not a present tense's sentence and क्ष
है represents the present tense

[AhmedHasan682228]

I still think adding the hai is better.

[army_girl21.]

Np, है is only added in present sentences but this sentence does not represent the present tense so the h is removed. Coz its her general quality to not eat that thing

[soobee620]

So वह औरत चावल नहीं खाती है should be accepted?

[army_girl21.]

Yp, it can also be accepted I think so

[Roger423959]

In East India I have found that खाना is also used to mean rice.

[army_girl21.]

I don't have any idea 'bout this
Bt i think खाना is called for food n rice is also a food Bt food is nt jst a rice
I think south Indians use to eat rice more

[shrenid]

Can इस औरत be used instead of यह औरत?
